Thursday Billboard Update - 7/8/10

In its 2nd week in stores, Eminem's Recovery album moves another 313,292 and goes platinum...surprising no one. As it stands, 1,057,698 copies of Recovery have been sold. Drake's Thank Me Later hangs in at #2 with another 104,885 sold to move his total to 708,868. I'd say he's about 5 weeks out from platinum status. Lastly, The-Dream's Love King checks in at #4 with 58,488 sold in its first week.

Not much movement on the Hot 100 this week.
