Thursday Billboard Update - 4/12/12

Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (which I finally found out was a new album and not a re-release) debuts at #1 with 253,000 sold. I thought she would sell more, but oh well. Madonna's MDNA, which sold 359,400 copies last week, falls to #8 with 48,000 sold, down 86.7%. That's the greatest 2nd-week sales decline for a #1 album since SoundScan began tracking sells in 1991. Debuting at #9 is Marvin Sapp's I Win with 37,000 sold.

Fun.'s We Are Young featuring Janelle Monae remains at #1 for a 6th week.
