Thursday Billboard Update - 3/31/11

F.A.M.E.
Chris Brown's F.A.M.E. didn't reach the 1 million sold plateau he was hoping for, but it does reach #1, selling 271,000 copies first week. While Chrisqo has had an album that's sold more first week, this is his first career #1. Coming in at #2 is Jennifer Hudson's I Remember Me with 165,100 sold. Kirk Franklin's Hello Fear debuts at #5 with a robust 78,800 sold. Last, but not least, Bobby V's (I'm assuming he's officially dropped the Valentino?) Fly On The Wall at #9 with 37,600 sold.

Over on the Hot 100, we have a new #1 and its Katy Perry's E.T. featuring Kanye West. The top debut this week is Wiz Khalifa's No Sleep blasting off at #6. And sadly Bruno Mars' Grenade finally exits the top 10 this week. But look on the bright side, maybe this will finally put an end to people making the fucked out jokes about not being willing to catch a grenade for anyone.
