Thursday Billboard Update - 10/6/11

Oh how wrong I was about the shipment of J. Cole's debuts album Cole World: The Sideline Story. As it turns out, plenty copies were shipped and a robust 217,279 were purchased. That's damn good for anyone these days, and especially good for someone with no hit single on the radio. Dare I say the real is back? In other Billboard 200 news, Blink-182's reunion album Neighborhoods moved 151,463 and claimed the #2 spot this week.

Adele's Someone Like You rises back to the #1 position, bumping Maroon 5's Moves Like Jagger featuring Christina Aguilera to #2. B.o.B is back as his Strange Clouds featuring Lil Wayne debuts at #7. I'm still not sure who David Guetta is, but his song Without You with Usher hops into the top 10 (11-8). Rihanna's We Found Love also cracks the top 10 in its 2nd week jumping 16-9. This is Rihanna's 20th top 10 song on the Hot 100, making her the fastest solo artist to hit the career milestone. Congrats, baby.
