Will.i.am & Britney Spears’ “Scream & Shout” Tops iTunes Singles Chart

Will.i.am and Britney Spears‘ recent club-pop banger “Scream & Shout” may not have made much of an impact on the Hot 100 (so far it’s floundering at #3 on the Bubbling Under chart), but at least it’s finding some success on iTunes: For the singles chart in the week ending 12/3, the song snagged the #1 spot — probably buoyed by the highly GIF-able video for the single, which dropped last week. Never doubt the power of Britney’s stans, although whether that portends Billboard chart success for “Scream & Shout” remains to be seen.

Also finding success on iTunes at #2 was 50 Cent‘s Eminem and Adam Levine-assisted “My Life,” which has yet to make an impact on the Hot 100. As Britney herself would probably say: It’s iTunes, bitch. Read the full chart info below.
