Thursday Billboard Update - 6/19/08

Well I'll be damned! Lil Wayne is now a Billboard monster! Mr. F. Baby's Tha Carter III sold 1,005,545 in its first week in store, ain't that some shit?? lol. All Wayne "fans" should soak it up now though because next week Coldplay is taking that #1 spot with a huge sales week of their own. Anyway, wayyyy down there at #2 is Plies' sophomore coonery The Definition Of Real as it moves 214,532 in its first week on the charts. Also making a top 10 debut is N*E*R*D who's new album Seeing Sounds does 79,968. Any other week that would probably be good enough to be #1 lol.

The inevitable happened early as Coldplay's Viva La Vida (as the song comes on TV while I'm typing this lol) jumps 2-1 and takes over the #1 spot from Lil Wayne's Lollipop. Lollipop actually drops to #3 this week, but don't feel bad for him I mean he did just sell a milli, a milli in his first week lol.

• Wayyyyy down at #112 is your boy Tyga who's No Introduction sold a whopping 6,787 in his first week! I didn't know he meant the title literally lol. I believe I had that one right (no word on where JR Writer came in but I'm sure it wasn't good lol). Hopefully his boss looks out for him better than 50 Cent does lol.
