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.

Wale & Meek Mill - Actin Up (feat. French Montana)

Some newness off of MMG's Self Made 2 album dropping June 26th.

Wale & Meek Mill - Actin Up (feat. French Montana)

Can't wait to hear the radio edit if they decide to push this as a single.

Anyway, this song it self definitely isn't as hard as it should be. The track is incredible, and the verses were fine, but that hook was lazy as fuck. "Deez hoes be actin' up, deez hoes be actin' up, deez hoes be actin' up, and deez niggas be lettin' 'em." That's it? Uhh, okay then...

Thursday Billboard Update - 6/2/11

Adele's 21 has ruled the Billboard 200 thus far in 2011...then Lady Gaga's Born This Way dropped. Born This Way sold 1,108,400 albums first week, the most any album has sold since 50 Cent's The Massacre in 2005. All isn't bad for Adele though as 21 sells another 126,000 and is rounding the bases on double platinum. Also, Maybach Music Group's Self Made Vol. 1 debuts at #5 with 58,900 sold.

Adele's Rolling In The Deep remains #1 for a 5th consecutive week, but the big story today is DJ Khaled's I'm on One featuring Drake, Rick Ross, and Lil Wayne skyrocketing 68 positions 78-10. Now if you ask me, it's the most overrated song of the year, but the people seem to love it so there you have it. And this marks DJ Khaled's first career top 10.
