Don't Stop Downloadin'

Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’ has passed the four million downloads mark.

The song is the first track to be released pre-2000 that has surpassed the 3m downloads mark, let alone 4m. It is an amazing story for a song that was just the 65th best selling single in the US in the year that it was originally released (in 1981).

‘Don't Stop Believin' hit the 1 million mark in paid downloads in August 2007 following a high profile spot during the finale of US TV classic, The Sopranos. It reached 2 million in October 2008. It hit 3 million in August 2009. And thanks to dire musical TV comedy Glee, which featured the song during an early episode, Journey have managed to shift another MILLION copies in just a year.

The song peaked at number 9 on the Hot 100 in the US in the week ending Dec. 19, 1981. It has sold more than twice as many digital copies as all the other songs that were in the top 10 that week combined.
