Billboard Chart Updates

Another week has gone by, huh? New #1's all around - here's a recap.
On the Billboard 200, Kid Rock managed to open at #1 with his new album "Rock N Roll Jesus" which sold 172,000 this week. Not bad. Then at #2 we find Bruce Springsteen with his "Magic" that has sold another 133,000 copies on its second week on the chart. Further down at #3 we find country group Rascal Flatts with "Still Feels Good" that sold 96,000 this week. Another country star, LeAnn Rimes debuts at #4 with "Family" - album that sold just about 74,000 copies. There are many more country starts at top, Reba McEntire's album "Reba Duets" holds on to the #7 spot, Sarah Evans debuts at #8 with her "Greatst Hits" album, and Josh Groban has rounded up the top 10 with "Noel" his christmas album that sold 64,000 copies. At all this, where's Jennifer Lopez? Her album, "Brave" made a dissapointing debut - her biggest flop yet, the album opened at #12 selling just 53,000 albums... ouch!
Moving on to the Billboard Hot 100, Soulja Boy holds steadily to that #1 spot with his tune, "Crank That" for the sixth week now. Kanye West holds on to #2 with "Stronger" as Timbaland and One Republic move up to #3 with their single, "Apologize". Alicia Keys also takes a jump up to #4 with "No One", and Colbie Caillat brakes the top 5 with "Bubbly". Britney Spears you ask? She has dropped three spots to #6 with "Gimme More".
Let's go on to Country now, and the Billboard Hot Country Songs. At #1, we find Kenny Chesney and his hit "Don't Blink". Losing the top to go down at #2, Toby Keith is found with "Love Me if You Can". Tim McGraw climbs one more to stay at #3 with "If You're Reading This". WhileDierks Bentley moves up three spots with "Free and Easy". Rounding it up, we find American Idol champ Carrie Underwood who also climbs three spots to #5 with her newest hit, "So Small".
Don't think I forgot about my spanish visitors, here are the top spots on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs. Obviously at #1 for the fifth week in a row, we find Colombian rockstar, Juanes, who seems unstopable with his new single "Me Enamora". As for the rest of the top 5 - it stayed exactly the same as last week. Aventura at #2 with "Mi Corazoncito" and Vicente Fernandez at #3 with "Estos Celos".
There is the report, hope you enjoy.
