Thursday Billboard Update - 6/24/10

Thank Drake Later
As expected, Drake's Thank Me Later has a big first week and debuts atop the charts at #1 with a whooping 447,300 sold. I over shot him a tad last week, but that's still an impressive number, and he'll be a platinum artist within the next 3 weeks.

Positions 1-4 all remain the same, but Drake's Find Your Love is up 5 spots to #5 this week. Now that's more like it, this should have happened weeks ago.
