Thursday Billboard Update - 6/30/11

Jill Scott
We have another new #1 this week and it's Jill Scott's The Light Of The Sun, which moved 135,600 in its first week in stores. Last week's #1, Bad Meets Evil's Hell: The Sequel, slips to #6 with 62,600 in its 2nd week. One spot below Royce and Em is Pitbull's Planet Pit, which opened to 55,000 copies sold (more on Pit in a minute). And coming in at #9 is Weird Al Yankovic's Alpocalypse with 44,100 sold.

As with the Billboard 200, the Hot 100 also has a new #1 and it's Pitbull's Give Me Everything featuring Ne-Yo and a bunch of folks no one cares about. Despite being one of the most successful Hot 100 performers, this is Pit first ever #1 single. Anyway, debuting at #8 this week is Maroon 5's Moves Like Jagger featuring Christina Aguilera, and entering the top 10 is Lil Wayne's How To Love (13-10).
