Thursday Billboard Update - 7/12/12

Chris Brown's (I'm assuming mostly techno) album Fortune debuts at #1 with 134,000 sold. Also, Amazon put 20 albums on sale for 99 cents for one day, and as a result, 4 old albums (Katy Perry's Teenage Dream, Gotye's Making Mirrors, fun.'s Some Nights, Black Keys' El Camino) return to the top 10.

And as usual, a lot of nothing happened in the top 10 of the Hot 100.
