50,000 downloads & 5.61 million streams... well that gives a combined weekly total of 106,100. To be honest, in 2016, any song that gets 100,000+ across both metrics in 7 days has had a very good week. :)
Congratulations to James Arthur for another week at #1 & I think his reign at the top is going to last until at least the end of the October. Great to see '24k Magic' debut at #9, also I really 'Starving' & 'Sexual', so it's awesome that they are climbing.
