Thursday Billboard Update - 2/24/11

Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber's Never Say Never: The Remixes debuts at #1 this week with 165,000 copies sold...and that's pretty much it on the Billboard 200 this week.

Lady Gaga's Born This Way remains at #1 on the Hot 100, but we have a new #2 as Cee-Lo's Fuck You continues to have a post-Grammys renaissance. After debuting at #5 2 weeks ago, Dr. Dre's I Need A Doctor feating Eminem and Skylar Green fell all the way down to #32 last week. Then he performed at the Grammys and now it flies 28 spots to #4. Madness. And the last Grammys based bump hits Justin Bieber's Never Say Never featuring Jaden Smith, which hopped 25-8. Maybe it was the leopard print tights Jaden wore during the performance?
