Digital sales roundup: "My Life Would Suck Without You" #1 (1/30/09)

Kelly Clarkson managed to hold atop Billboard's Hot Digital Songs chart for the week with another impressive take. Her single "My Life Would Suck Without You" led all other Idol tracks with a weekly gain of 216.3k downloads, down only 23%. That puts her two week tally at 495.9k, virtually gold.

This signals that the track will in fact remain at #1 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart, which will be made public later today.

Following Kelly was David Cook's "Light On," which fell a startling 14 spots to #39 thanks to a 30% sales dip. It took in 34.7k for the week, pushing its total to 676.6k and still going.

The only alum to have two songs featured on the chart based on the published figures was David Archuleta, whose "Crush" continued its steady journey down the chart despite rising #46-44 for the week. Its total was virtually unchaged from last week's, as 24 fewer tracks were purchased for the week. "Crush" sold 33.2k downloads for a total of 1.516 million. Arch also finally saw his second single, "A Little Too Not Over You," make the chart. It sold 8.6k downloads to reemerge back onto the chart at #196, pushing its total to 83.4k.
