Thursday Billboard Update - 5/12/11

Adele 21
Adele's 21 remains #1 with another 155,200 sold. I guess I can't blame her ex for trying to get some of that money. The Beastie Boys' Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 debuts at #2 with 128,200 sold. Jennifer Lopez's Love? begins at #5 with 83,100 sold. Sade's The Ultimate Collection starts off at #7 with 37,600 sold. Musiq Soulchild's MusiqTheMagiq debuts at #8 with 34,800 sold.

Adele's 21 has spent 7 non-consecutive weeks at #1 on the Billboard 200, now it's time for her to try her hand at #1 on the Hot 100, as her hit single Rolling In The Deep rises 2-1 this week. Lady Antebellum's Just A Kiss debuts at #7, and Pitbull finds himself with another top 10 as Give Me Everything jumps 13-8.
