Thursday Billboard Update - 12/30/10

Jamie Foxx's Best Night Of My Life is this week's highest debut at #6 and with 144,000 sold. Back into the top 10 in its 28th week in stores is Eminem's Recovery. Marshall's latest album sees a 100% sales increase and jumps 15 spots 22-7 selling 137,000. And last, but not least, Keyshia Cole's Calling All Hearts debuts at #9 with 128,000 sold.

Like I told you all last week, Bruno Mars' Grenade would close out 2010 at #1, and it does. Good job by me. Anyway, in "things I thought I'd never say when I first heard the song" news, Wiz Khalifa scores his first top 10 with Black & Yellow rising 6 spaces 12-6. Let's be honest, this song is mediocre at best, but I'll show the kid some love because I never thought he'd make it this far when illseed first gave him some shine in like 2005 (or whenever that was). Also jumping into the top 10 is Enrique Iglesias' Tonight (I'm Lovin' You) with Ludacris and DJ Frank E at #7.
