Thursday Billboard Update - 4/16/09

Rascal Flatts' new LP Unstoppable tops the chart this week. Their 4th straight #1 sold 351,000 in its first week in stores. The big news in the Hip-Hop world is Jadakiss' The Last Kiss which debuts at #3 with 135,000 sold in its first week. Jada is popular, but nobody had him doing those type of numbers with the way shit is going in sales these days. He didn't even have a hit! Flo Rida had 2 tracks in he top 50 -- one of which was #1 -- and barely sold 50,000. Soulja Boy has a single in the top 5 and his album is sitting pretty at #78 this week. Lets all stand up and applaud Jadakiss. Oh yeah, the pressure is on for next week Rick Ross.

Nothing going on in the top 10 this week.
