'Paper Planes' M.I.A.s First Top 5 Single


As said last month, M.I.A's song 'Paper Planes' appears in a promo for the stoner flick 'Pineapple Express' and it's still burning up the charts!

'Paper Planes' has already been out six months, it was released back in March 2008 and it has jumped from number 55 to 36 on the Billboard Hot 100 back in July 2008.

Last week the track went from #36 to the #16 spot and this week it has raised to #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 as the chart's top digital gainer. The track sold more than 136,000 downloads last week.

This means this is officially M.I.A.'s first Top 10 and Top 5 hit in America!

'Pineapple Express' just came out last week, let's see if the song can reach any higher! Just imagine #1 spot next week, that would be insane, out of all the tracks she has released so far, 'Paper Planes' is by far her best work! Let's hope!!
