Thursday Billboard Update - 8/5/10

Avenged Sevenfold - Nightmare
After fending off Rick Ross's Teflone Don last week, I thought Eminem's Recovery would be a lock for a 6th week at #1. But no. Recovery still moves an impressive 158,658, but Avenged Sevenfold's Nightmare moved 162,505 to takeover at #1. Em could very well return to #1 next week if it keeps up its steady pace, so this is just a bump in the road for Marshall.

Not much has changed from last week, Eminem's Love The Way You Lie featuring Rihanna remains #1. Katy Perry's Teenage Dream (20-7) and Usher's DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love (12-9) cross into the top 10.

  • 50 Cent said Fat Joe's new album The Darkside Vol. 1 sold 5,000 copies the other day. Well it actually sold 12,000 (12,186 to be exact). Nothing to write home about, but about at least he can say 50 was wrong if that helps lol.
