Thursday Billboard Update - 1/13/11

Speak Now
Taylor Swift's Speak Now is still #1, but with 52,000 copies sold this week, it now holds the unfortunate honor of having the lowest sales week of any #1 album in the history of Nielsen SoundScan. But with sales declining by the year, I'm sure she won't hold the dishonor for long.

Over on the Hot 100, a lot of nothingness happened in the top 10.

  • Flo Rida's Who Dat Girl featuring Akon jumps 14 spots 53-39 this week.
  • Nicki Minaj's Moment 4 Life with Drake leaps 12 spots 63-51.
  • P!nk's Fuckin' Perfect re-enters the Hot 100 with a new peak at #57.
  • Travis Porter's wack and dated Make It Rain debuts at #100. Something tells me this won't be the last we see of this unhotness.
