Thursday Billboard Update - 5/27/10

Nas & Damian Marley's incredible album Distant Relatives debuts at #5 with 57,000 album sold. I'm definitely gonna buy the album when I get a chance.

Usher's OMG hangs on at #1 and B.o.B's Airplanes notches one step closer to that spot and is now at #2. Miley Cyrus' Can't Be Tamed debuts at #8.
