Thursday Billboard Update - 5/20/10

Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber's My World 2.0 is back to #1, but sells are waaaaaaay down this week and he only sold a little over 60,000.

Eminem's Not Afraid was the big story last week, but slips 5 spots to #6 this week. Usher's OMG returns to #1. Katy Perry (who is somehow #1 on the Maxim Hot 100 list, but that's another story for another post) and his new single California Gurls featuring Snoop Dogg debuts at #2. B.o.B's Airplanes is up to a new high at #3.

  • Alicia Keys' Un-Thinkable (I'm Ready) jumps 11 spots 46-35 this week.
  • Lil Wayne's Single debuts at #82. This is late as hell for this song to debut (considering it first became popular in 2009), but maybe it goes on a run with Lil Wayne locked up?
