Thursday Billboard Update - 1/24/13

Despite his album leaking online a month in advance, A$AP Rocky's Long.Live.A$AP debuts at #1 with 139,000 sold. I'm not sure why most rappers don't utilize the open terrain that is January, but this is a good look for Rocky.

After 6 weeks atop the Hot 100, Bruno Mars' Locked Out Of Heaven (1-2) is dethroned by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' Thrift Shop (2-1). Also, skyrocketing 80 spots in its 2nd week is Justin Timberlake's Suit & Tie featuring Jay-Z (84-4).
