Thursday Billboard Update - 12/29/11

Being that Christmas is over, this is most likely Michael Buble's Christmas last week on top. If it is, he goes out with a bang with 467,000 sold. Likely to takeover for Buble next week is Adele's 21, which remains on fire at #2 with another 399,000 sold. Either way, she's locked up the best selling album of 2011 as 21 has sold 5.68 million since its release in North America on February 22nd. Debuting at #3 is Young Jeezy's TM103: Hustlerz Ambition with 232,938 sold.

After 8 straight weeks, Rihanna's We Found Love gets dethroned by LMFAO's Sexy And I Know It. Entering the top 10 this week is Adele's Set Fire To The Rain (13-7) and Big Sean's Dance (A$$) remix with Nicki Minaj (12-10). This is Big Sean's first top 10 record, and Nicki's 4th.
