Thursday Billboard Update - 8/6/09

Loso's Way
Do I even have to tell you that Michael Jackson sold more than everyone again?? Well he did as Number Ones moves another 114,000 and is has now sold a total of 1,370,000 in the United States this year. Fabolous' Loso's Way is the top debut, scoring his first career #1 album with 99,000 sold.

Two new joints enter the top 10 this week. Jay Sean's Down featuring Lil Wayne is up 26 spots (32-6) and bags his first top 10 on the U.S. charts. This is all after jumping 31 spots last week. Unfortunately for him, he's on Cash Money so his new album may never come out. The only new top 10 record is Cobra Spaceship's Good Girls Go Bad (12-10).
