"Moves Like Jagger" debuted at what position?
Moves like Jagger
On the issue dated July 9, 2011, "Moves like Jagger" debuted at number eight on the United States "Billboard" Hot 100, and topped the "Billboard" Hot 100, in the week ending September 10, 2011, as the greatest airplay gainer for the third consecutive week. It spent 10 weeks in the top 3. For Maroon 5, with prior top hits, this is the first time at the number-one position on the Hot 100 chart since their single "Makes Me Wonder" in 2007. For Aguilera, this is her fifth number-one position, her first since "Lady Marmalade" in 2001. Incidentally, Levine is the first artist to achieve both the number one position on the Hot 100 as a member of a band and reach the top 10 as a solo artist in the same week. "Moves like Jagger" made Aguilera the fourth female artist, behind Madonna and Janet Jackson (1980s, 1990s, and 2000s) and Britney Spears (1990s, 2000s, and 2010s), to top the Hot 100 in three decades, as well as the eighth artist overall. On the week of October 1, 2011, the song advanced to number one on the Hot 100 Airplay. By March 2013, it has sold over 6 million digital copies in the United States. As of January 2014, it has sold 6,347,000 copies in the US. On August 1, 2011, "Moves like Jagger" reached number two on the Australian ARIA Charts, making it Aguilera's highest charting single since "Candyman" in 2007, and held the runner-up spot for ten straight weeks. On the week of August 20, 2011, the song topped the Canadian Hot 100 chart, becoming the band's second number-one single and Aguilera's third number-one single, first in almost nine years (the last one was the 2002 hit "Beautiful"). "Moves like Jagger" made its debut on the UK Singles Chart at number three and sold 56,000 copies on the issue dated August 21, 2011, becoming Maroon 5's 4th top 10 hit and Aguilera's 15th top 10 hit in the UK. Starting at the issue date September 10, it peaked at number two for seven consecutive weeks, equalling the all-time UK record held by All-4-One's "I Swear" for the longest stay at number two by a hit not to reach number one. On October 5, 2011, the song reached number one in the mid-week chart update but failed to reach the number one spot the following Sunday due to the mid-week release of Rihanna's new single "We Found Love" which debuted at number one keeping "Moves like Jagger" away from the number one position. Uniquely, in the first six of these weeks it was held off the top of the chart by six different number one singles consecutively, each of which debuted directly ahead of it; this after having already been held at number three behind two different pairs of new entries in its first two weeks on the chart. As of week ending October 22, "Moves like Jagger" dropped two places to number 4, ending a seven-week run in the runner-up position. After spending seven straight weeks at number two in the singles charts without ever managing to claim the number-one spot, it peaked at number two in the year end chart of 2011's best-selling singles as well. It became the biggest-selling song not peak at number one in 2012. As of June 2012, "Moves like Jagger" has sold 1,283,972 copies in the United Kingdom, in an uninterrupted 52 week run in the chart.
