She'll cross 100 million certified sales in the US once the biopic comes out!

24. How Will I Know (w/Clean Bandit)- 24,693,692 (+4M)*
25. Do You Hear What I Hear- (+17,653)

 

* This new remix kicks out "Exhale (Shoop Shoop)" from the top 25. I didnt see where it was at last month because I wasnt expecting such a change but considering Exhale grew by about 300k and is still at 20 million and DYHWIH is slow due to it no longer being Christmas, its safe to say this song grew by more than 4 million streams in the last month.
