Thursday Billboard Update - 6/2/11

Gaga
Adele's 21 has ruled the Billboard 200 thus far in 2011...then Lady Gaga's Born This Way dropped. Born This Way sold 1,108,400 albums first week, the most any album has sold since 50 Cent's The Massacre in 2005. All isn't bad for Adele though as 21 sells another 126,000 and is rounding the bases on double platinum. Also, Maybach Music Group's Self Made Vol. 1 debuts at #5 with 58,900 sold.

Adele's Rolling In The Deep remains #1 for a 5th consecutive week, but the big story today is DJ Khaled's I'm on One featuring Drake, Rick Ross, and Lil Wayne skyrocketing 68 positions 78-10. Now if you ask me, it's the most overrated song of the year, but the people seem to love it so there you have it. And this marks DJ Khaled's first career top 10.
