Ludacris earns himself another #1 as Battle Of The Sexes sales 137,300 in its first week in stores. The animated band Gorillaz comes in at #2 with 112,300 sold of their Plastic Beach album.
Taking of the #1 spot on the Hot 100 is Rihanna's Rude Boy. This should surprise no one. Making his first appearance in the top 10 is B.o.B as his hit Nothin' On You featuring Bruno Mars gets a 11 spot boost 16-5. He might give Rihanna a run for that top spot in a few weeks.
