Fergie pops digital sales record, fails to credit humps

A new high water week for US sales of digital music downloads was driven in part by a record breaking debut for Black-Eyed Peas-breakout Fergie and her single "Fergalicious."

Fergie moved 294,000 units for the week ending 12/31, in a sea of 30.1 million downloads sold. Overall the sales of digital tracks are up 51% from the same week of 2005.

Also of note, digital album "bundles" broke the 1 million unit mark for the week, marking the first time that particular tracking figure required a 7th digit. Great news for the concept in general but, overall the "album" remains on life support.

Overall, despite a few forecasts to the contrary, the sales of digital tracks continue to grow at a rapid pace.
