LMFAO Scores First #1 On Hot 100


LMFAO must be laughing their ______ ______ off because their latest single "Party Rock Anthem" has ascended to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, displacing the one week reign of Pitbull's "Give Me Everything." Much like its predecessor, this is the first song of theirs to ascend to the top of the charts as their highest charting song (aside from a David Guetta collaboration) was "I'm In Miami Bitch," which stalled at number 51. However, their music has become a party staple, including "Shots" which has been played at every bar, nightclub, and frat party since its release in 2009.

The main component propelling the song from 3-1 on the Hot 100 was digital sales, which were up 22% this week as compared to last. Selling 258,000 copies, the song replaces Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night (TGIF)" on the Hot Digital Songs chart. America now joins nearly a dozen other countries where the song has topped the charts, including most of Europe.
