Thursday Billboard Update - 12/17/09

Susan Boyle - I Dreamed A Dream
Susan Boyle and her I Dreamed A Dream are still looking dominant moving another 582,000 while Andrea Bocelli is no slouch either with another 400,000. Chris Brown's comeback album Graffiti does 101,900. That looks about right. Expect this album to disappear into Billboard oblivion sooner than later. Gucci Mane's The State Vs. Radric Davis round out the top 10 with 90,000 sold. Can we still fronting like he's a major player in the game now??

Numbers 1, 4, 5, 8, 9, and 10 are all the same, and the other slots only moved 1 way up or down. The end.
