Thursday Billboard Update - 1/13/11

Taylor Swift's Speak Now is still #1, but with 52,000 copies sold this week, it now holds the unfortunate honor of having the lowest sales week of any #1 album in the history of Nielsen SoundScan. But with sales declining by the year, I'm sure she won't hold the dishonor for long.

Over on the Hot 100, a lot of nothingness happened in the top 10.
