Thursday Billboard Update - 1/14/10

Ke$ha Animal
Susan Boyle's I Dreamed A Dream finally loses her spot at #1 as Ke$ha's debut album Animal moves 152,000. Doesn't matter, Ms. Boyle's damage is done as she gets a triple platinum plaque to take home. The RIAA isn't shipping many of those out these days...then again, I don't think they actually ship those plaques out lol.

A little bit of action this week on Hot as Ke$ha debuts a track called Blah Blah Blah at #7. In addition, Young Money's Bedrock and Rihanna's Hard finally make it to the top 10.
