Anaconda Hits #1 on iTunes

One Nicki Minaj song replaces another as "Anaconda" overtakes "Bang Bang" on the iTunes single sales chart. Nicki Minaj’s “Anaconda” has officially reached the #1 spot on iTunes’ single sales chart. It accomplished the feat after about 24 hours of availability. “Bang Bang,” which is credited to the superstar collaboration of Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Minaj, slipped to number two to make room for “Anaconda.”



Insofar as “Bang Bang,” “Anaconda” and Meghan Trainor’s #3 “All About That Bass” are all moving at roughly the same pace, it is possible they will play hot potato with the #1 spot over the next few hours. What will not change, however, is the fact that Minaj’s “Anaconda” did officially get to the top of the chart.



Other Top 10 songs on iTunes include Maroon 5′s “Maps” (#4), MAGIC!’s “Rude” (#5), Sam Smith’s “Stay With Me” (#6), Jason Aldean’s “Burnin’ it Down” (#7), Sia’s “Chandelier” (#8), Charli XCX’s “Boom Clap” (#9) and Becky G’s “Shower” (#10).
