Thursday Billboard Update - 3/7/13

Coming in at #1 for the first time in his career this week is Bruno Mars as his Unorthodox Jukebox slides a spots north with 95,000 copies sold. This is largely due to Amazon MP3 selling it for $1.99 last Tuesday and for $3.99 ever since (and that's still going on now, if you haven't checked the album out yet). Also benefiting from Amazon MP3's low pricing is Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' The Heist, which climbs 16-4 this week. I'm sure being on SNL didn't hurt either.

Baauer enjoys yet another bogus week atop the Hot 100 and everything else remains static for the most part as well.
