Thursday Billboard Update - 8/13/09

Sugarland
This is the 100th issue of the Thursday Billboard Update! Thank you, me!

Michael Jackson's Number Ones (98,000) outsold everybody again this week. Shocker.

Drake's Best I Ever Had looks to be showing some crack this week as it finally give way of that #2 spot and slides to #3. I hope they are actually working on his album because I think this song is now on the way out. Joining the top 10 this week is Pitbull's Hotel Room Service. It was on a bullseye to the top 10 since I picked it up July 23rd and its finally made it. And of course this is not only Pit's 2nd top 10 this year, its the 2nd top 10 of his career!

  • After jumping 20 spots (41-21) last week, Shakira's She Wolf has jumped an additional 8 spots this week (21-13) and will be showing up in the top 10 next week in its 5th week on the charts.
  • Looks like Mario has a hit on his hands as Break Up has reached a new high after jumping 11 spots 31-20.
  • Fabolous' Throw It In The Bag continues to be a late bloomer as it gains another 9 spaces jumping 47-38.
  • Drake's Successful jumps another 10 spots 75-65. I wonder do we have to call it "Drake & Trey Songz's Successful" now that we know its also gonna be on Trey Songz's Ready album??
  • Jay-Z is out to prove people wrong as Run This Town jumps 22 spots (88-66) in its 2nd week on the charts.

  • Jeremih's Imma Star (Everywhere We Are) jumps 14 spots 100-86 this week. Maybe a potential 2nd hit?? I don't know.
  • Jamie Foxx's Digital Girl debuts at #92 this week. This isn't the original version though, its the Drake remix.
