Thursday Billboard Update - 1/6/11

Welp, the holiday season is over, all the Christmas albums dropped like a rock, and all the cream rose to the top. Nobody sold more than Taylor Swift's Speak Now's 77,000, and that's why she starts the year at #1 despite a 72% sales decrease. Up to #2 is Eminem's Recovery with 63,000, despite a 54% loss. I think you get the point with how this is going this week. But in other Eminem news, Recovery was the top selling album of 2010 with 3.42 million sold.

Nothing really going on on the Hot 100 side of things. Nelly's Just A Dream (12-10) returns to the top 10, and Trey Songz's Bottoms Up exits once again.
