Thursday Billboard Update - 2/3/11

Amos Lee - Mission Bell
Hey Cake, you're off the hook. Amos Lee's Mission Bell has bested your album Showroom Of Compassion and is the new lowest selling #1 album in SoundScan history with 40,500 sold first week. Also debuting in the top 10 is Wisin Y Yandel's Los Vaqueros: El Regreso at #8 with 30,700 sold.

Some new blood is injected into the top 10 this week by P!nk and the Far*East Movement. P!nk's Fuckin' Perfect shoots to #2, up 9 spots from last week, and Far*East Movement's Rocketeer lands at #9 after previously sitting at #16.

On another Hot 100 note, it'll be interesting to see what Wiz Khalifa's Black & Yellow does next week if the Steelers win the Super Bowl Sunday.
