Thursday Billboard Update - 7/23/09

I said I'd boycott the Billboard 200 as long as Michael Jackson sold more records than anybody else and wasn't represented. Well somebody has finally outsold a MJ album this this week. Daughtry's Leave This Town grabs its first #1 with 269,000 sold. Down at #7, Joe's newest album Signature comes in with 49,100 sold. And finally Twista's horrible auto-tuned bullshit Category F5 opens at #8 selling 45,400.

Nothing is really popping on the Hot 100, same ol' same ol' for the most part.
