Thursday Billboard Update - 5/31/12

John Mayer's Born & Raised debuts at #1 selling 219,300 copies in the first week. Mayer has a throat condition called granuloma, which has severely limited his ability to promote the album, so this is a bit of a surprise.

Another boring week on the Hot 100 as Phillip Phillips' Home debuting at #10 is literally the only change from last week.
