Thursday Billboard Update - 6/17/10

Christina Aguilera returns to charts these with her 4th English speaking album, Bionic, which moved 152,000. Also releasing his 4th album, Plies' Goon Affiliated sells 56,500 in its first week in stores. The imaginary goon seems to be fading a bit, huh?? After peaking with Definition Of Real selling 214,000 first week and going gold, he returned with Da REAList 6 months later and sold 114,000 first week, and is now down to 56,000 first week with Goon Affiliated. I'm just saying.

Eminem's Not Afraid returns to the top 10 this week at #8, possibly being aided by the buzz surrounding the Recovery leak. Drake's Find Your Love finally makes it to the top 10, I'm sure it'll hang around for a few weeks. Sadly, B.o.B's Nothin' On You finally exits stage left from the top 10.
