Thursday Billboard Update - 4/15/10

Justin Bieber
Making its triumphant return to #1 this week is Justin Bieber's My World 2.0 which moves 102,100 in his 3rd week. That's pretty much all that's going on here.

Remember back in March when I said, "this should be an interesting few weeks ahead of us," after B.o.B's Nothin' On You moved up to #2, Lady Gaga's Telephone moved up to #3, and Drake's Over jumped up to #17?? Well these few weeks that followed couldn't have been more boring. The tradition keeps this week as basically nothing happens on the Hot 100 besides Usher's OMG taking Young Money's Bed Rock's spot in the top 10.

  • Lil Wayne's Rebirth finally goes gold this week, and that was only after 10 weeks and a bunch of "he's going to jail, he's not going to jail" publicity. If he ain't a Hot Boy, then what do you call that??

  • Jamie Foxx's potential hit Winner featuring Justin Timberlake and T.I. debuts at #28 this week. Its the official song of the 2010 NBA playoffs so expect to hear it a lot over the next few weeks.
  • Timbaland and Katy Perry's If We Ever Meet Again jumps 15 spots 74-59.
  • B.o.B is definitely on fire right now. If you couldn't tell by Nothin' On You resting at #2 for the past 3 weeks, you should be able to tell by his 2nd single Don't Let Me Fall debuting at #67 after being release just a week ago on the 7th. Nice!
  • Alicia Keys' Un-Thinkable (I'm Ready) debuts at #88.
