Thursday Billboard Update - 9/16/10

Sara Bareilles - Kaleidoscope Heart
We have a new #1, but not much to talk about in the Billboard 200 this week.

Same goes for the Hot 100, though Flo Rida's Club Can't Handle Me hops 13-9 and enters the top 10. But that's it.

The Billboard 200 1-10
first week debuts in bold

1. Sara Bareilles - Kaleidoscope Heart (1)
2. Eminem - Recovery (3-2)
3. Various Artists - Now 35 (2-3)
4. Katy Perry - Teenage Dream (4-4)
5. Disturbed - Asylum (1-5)

  • Young Buck's The Rehab project debuts at #56 with 6,400 copies sold.
  • Dorrough's Get Big checks in at #68 with 5,500 albums sold.
  • Chingy's Success & Failure fails to chart on the Billboard 200. I think we can go ahead and drop the "Success &" portion from the title.
The Billboard Hot 100 1-10
first time top 10's in bold

  • Jay Sean's 2012 (It Ain't The End) featuring Nicki Minaj is up 8 spots 49-41.
  • Waka Flocka's No Hands with Roscoe Dash and Wale debuts at #45. I heard people talking about this song but had no idea who sang it. Now I do. Great.
  • Drake's Fancy is up 8 spots 57-49.
  • Rihanna's Only Girl (In The World) debuts at #75. If you're gonna add the "In The World" part of the time in the parenthesis, why not just make it a part of the title?? It's not like you can take the "Only Girl" part out and the song could be called "In The World." The parenthesis is supposed to be for a secondary title, not a continuation of the title. Thank you.
  • Jazmine Sullivan's Holding You Down (Goin In Circles) (see how it's done Rihanna??) jumps 12 spots 88-76.
  • The awful song will.i.am and Nicki Minaj did in their awful VMAs pre-show performance, Check It Out, debuts at #78. Awful, just awful.
  • Sean Kingston's Dumb Love debuts at #84.
