This week saw Jason Derulo’s current single ‘Trumpets’ pass 200,000 UK sales as it continues to command a Top 5 chart position after first hitting the charts eight weeks ago. Together with the phenomenal sales of his recent singles ‘Talk Dirty’ (#1 with 480,000sales to date) and ‘The Other Side’ (#2, 380,000 sales), it means that the sales of tracks taken from his current album ‘Tattoos’ have now exceeded a million.
