Thursday Billboard Update - 4/24/08

No surprises this week, Mariah knocked Leona Lewis out to takeover the #1 spot, like I told you last week, as E=MC² moved 463,000 out the store. Leona still sold a respectable 95,000, but this is Mariah's chart until the May 7th SoundScans come out and Madonna is all up in her grill lol. She'll hold her own regardless so expect her to go platinum within the next month. And so long to Ray-J, Rick Ross, and Danity Kane who all exited the top 10 this week.

In the upset of the year Leona Lewis was dealt the knock out punch I warned about BUT not from Mariah like I said last week, instead by Lil Wayne's Lollipop! Lil Wayne scores his first #1 single, unfortunately he had to put his "best rapper alive" lyrics to the back to do so (hmm what does that tell ya?? lol). Congrats to the young man, now if The Carter III flops the collective laugh will be even louder lol. Anyway 3, 4, and 5 remain the same, 6 and 7 flip-flop, so does 8 and 9, and Flo Rida finally exits the top 10 and Miley Cyrus finally enters.
