Thursday Billboard Update - 8/28/08

No disrespect to the Billboard 200, but the big news is on the Hot 100 this week. As I reported yesterday on The Breezy Effect, T.I.'s Whatever You Like broke the record for longest jump to #1 by skying 70 spots 71-1. I dunno who Atlantic records had to pay, but I need that person's number lol. Now, go read up on the "Lollipop Factor" to see that I kinda predicted this a few weeks back. Oh, and my girl Pink's So What debuted at #9.

Now, over on the 200, Ice Cube's Raw Footage beat my expectations by 10,000 copies and sells 70,000 in its first week, debuting at #4. Rounding out the top 10 is Shwayze's self-titled debut which moved just 47,000. Yeah, I fucked up on that one lol.
