The 2006 Shift in Billboard Mechanics:
In August 2006, Fergie’s debut solo single "London Bridge" set a record for one of the most explosive chart ascents in Hot 100 history. Propelled by the explosion of digital downloads on Apple iTunes alongside T-Mobile Sidekick culture, songs suddenly surged from outside the Top 50 directly to No. 1 in a single week once digital sales opened.
