Thursday Billboard Update - 6/18/09

Damn, how did I forget to do a "This Week In Flops" last week?? I'm fucking' up, but I apologize. Anyway, lets move on to this weeks charts.

First off, Eminem's Relapse crosses over the 1 million sold mark this week with 87,500 to bring him to a total of 1,049,100. The Black Eyed Peas record their first #1 album this week as their The E.N.D. project pushes 304,000 units out of the stores. Mos Def is back on the charts as his new album The Ecstatic checks in at #9 with 39,400 sold. Right after that is Pleasure P with his debut solo album Introduction Of Marcus Cooper at #10 moving 39,000 records.

BEP cleaned up on the singles side too as it not only hangs onto the #1 spot with Boom Boom Pow, but also debuts a new one called I Gotta Feeling at #2. Can you say domination?? Sadly, with one new record in, one old record has to see the door and Jamie Foxx's Blame It finds itself exiting the top 10 after a respectable run. You will be missed.
