Thursday Billboard Update - 7/16/09

Maxwell's BLACKsummers'night had a big opening week over on the Billboard 200, selling over 316,000 records, but I'm still boycotting that chart as long as Michael Jackson continues to outsell everybody on it and still be kept off. Now before I move forward, I just wanted to acknowledge Jamie Foxx's Intuition finally crossing the 1 million sold mark this week.

Over on the Hot 100, even despite females lying and acting like they hated Drake's Best I Ever Had video, the song continues to succeed and reached #2 today. That's a new high. Is he going for #1 next week?? And debuting at #10 is Hannah Montana's He Could Be The One.
