Thursday Billboard Update - 8/19/10

Recovery
After spending the last 2 weeks at #2, Eminem's Recovery finally rebounds to reclaim the top spot with 132,623 record sold this past week. That bring his total tally to 2,112,996, which is good for double platinum status. Believe it or not, Recovery is the first album to sell 2 million copies in 2010. How sad is that?? Good luck to everyone who wants to be a musician.

Same ol' same ol' over on the Hot 100 this week.
