Thursday Billboard Update - 2/16/12

And for a 20th non-consective week, 6-time Grammy award winning singer Adele's 21 is at #1. Whitney Houston's Whitney: The Greatest Hits sells 64,000 copies and re-enters the Billboard 200 at #6 due to a 10,419% sales gain since she passed Saturday. I guess it was only Michael Jackson that Billboard wanted to shit on with their bum ass "catalog albums" rule. (If you remember back in 2009 when MJ died he dominated sales, but Billboard said his albums were considered "catalog albums" and weren't eligible for the Billboard 200 because they were over 18-months old and below #100. Fortunately, this rule somehow didn't apply to Whitney, whose greatest hits album dropped May 16th, 2000.)

Kelly Clarkson's Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You) remains #1 for a 2nd week, and then things start getting crazy. Soaring 41-3 after their Chevrolet Super Bowl ad is fun.'s We Are Young featuring Janelle Monae. Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You (which was #1 for 14 weeks back in 1992) re-enters the Hot 100 at #7 thanks largely to a 6,723% sales increase since Saturday. Madonna extends her lead for the most top 10s in Hot 100 history (she now has 38, the Beatles are the next closest with 34, followed by Michael Jackson with 28) as Give Me All Your Luvin featuring Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. moves up 3 spots 13-10.

Thursday Billboard Update - 9/24/09

Jay-Z's Blueprint 3 hangs on to his #1 spot with 297,913 copies sold in its 2nd week on shelves. He should be getting his platinum plaque in 2 weeks. Whitney's comeback album I Look To You bounces back to #2 this week and also goes gold with 155,600 in its 3rd week. KiD CuDi's debut album Man On The Moon shits on my prediction and sells 104,300 while coming in at #4. Drake's So Far Gone EP goes just over what I predicted and does 73,600 at #6. If he can do that with an EP filled with songs he gave out for free just months ago, imagine what Thank Me Later is gonna do. Right behind Drake is Lil Boosie at #7 as his Superbad sells 48,900. This is Boosie's first top 10 of his career.

A lot of action going on on the Hot 100 this week. Jay-Z and Drake dominate this week in a major way. Jay's Run This Town with Kanye West and Rihanna shows no signs of slowing down as it moves to a new high at #2. At #5 is Empire State Of Mind with Alicia Keys which sold 205,000 in digital downloads over the past week (shout out to Lil Mama lol). Drake makes his first dent with Forever featuring Kanye, Lil Wayne, and Eminem starting out at #8.

This is the 100th issue of the Thursday Billboard Update! Thank you, me!

Michael Jackson's Number Ones (98,000) outsold everybody again this week. Shocker.

Drake's Best I Ever Had looks to be showing some crack this week as it finally give way of that #2 spot and slides to #3. I hope they are actually working on his album because I think this song is now on the way out. Joining the top 10 this week is Pitbull's Hotel Room Service. It was on a bullseye to the top 10 since I picked it up July 23rd and its finally made it. And of course this is not only Pit's 2nd top 10 this year, its the 2nd top 10 of his career!
