After all that hoopla last week, Adam Lambert's For Your Entertainment comes in at #3 with 198,000 sold. I guess America wasn't as ready for that gay shit as it thought lol. Also underwhelming is Rihanna's Rated R at #4 with 181,400 sold. Now on the surface that's her best first week ever, but with all the extra press, sympathy, and 20/20 interviews she should've moved more. Especially with that extra day and Black Friday. Don't bode well for Chris Brown's Graffiti.
Same ol' same ol' on the Hot 100.
