Thursday Billboard Update - 2/18/10

Sade
Real music is back! I'm glad to report that taking over atop the Billboard 200 this week is Sade's Soldier Of Love with a grand total of 502,000 sold first week. Would be 502,001, but I couldn't find the damn album in Target! I went to 2 different Targets too! Times like these make me wish Circuit City never went out of business. Anyway, also debuting this week is Jaheim's Another Round comes in at #3 with 112,100 sold.

Artist For Haiti's We Are The World 25 debuts at #2 this week. I still haven't heard it yet, but I haven't heard many glowing reviews.
