Thursday Billboard Update - 10/1/09

Pearl Jam
Jay-Z's Blueprint 3 loses ground at the top and falls to #2 with 134,100 sold. Drake's So Far Gone EP hangs into the top 10, falling to #9 with 36,100 in its 2nd week.

Only one new entry in the top 10 this week, and its actually been here before. Mariah Carey's Obsessed is the song and it sees its way back into the top 10 at #9. I can see it landing as high as #4 next week with her new album dropping this past Tuesday and all.

  • I usually don't have country artists, but Carrie Underwood's Cowboy Casanova soared 85 spots 96-11 this week and I thought she needed to be acknowledged.
  • After debuting at #75 last week, Black Eyed Peas' Meet Me Halfway jumps to #47 this week.
  • Ester Dean's Drop It Low with Chris Brown jumps 14 spots 63-49. Will Ester Dean usher Chris Brown back into the game??
  • Homewrecker Alicia Keys sees her new single Doesn't Mean Anything debut at #61 this week. I guess the title is what A. Keys responded when asked "You know Swizz Beatz is married, right??" lol.
  • Sean Kingston's Face Drop debuts at #70.
  • Maxwell's jam Bad Habits finally debuts this week at #96.
