Thursday Billboard Update - 4/28/11

Adele 21
Guess who's back at #1? That's right, Adele's 21! With a sales increase of 65%, 21 again returns to #1 by pushing out another 153,000 copies.

We might need to run the Katy Perry/Rihanna .gif in reverse because Katy Perry's E.T. returns to #1, knocking Rihanna's S&M down to #4. With the domination of her album, its only right that Adele's single Rolling In The Deep would end up at #2. Will she cover take Katy Perry next week? Maybe. Recording his 5th top 10 (Damn, already??) is Bruno Mars with The Lazy Song (11-6). And oddly enough, after debuting last week, Lady Gaga's Judas actually falls out of the top 10. Oh well, I'm sure it'll be back soon enough.
