Despite still serving time in jail, Lil Wayne scored the top album spot this week with sales of his “I Am Not A Human Being” CD reaching 125,000 units.
“I Am Not A Human Being” debuted a fortnight ago at number two as a digital album release only at the Billboard 200 album charts. It dropped to number sixteen last week before surging to number one with the release of the physical CD.
Over at the singles chart, electro-pop and dance act Far East Movement slides in on the number one spot with “Like A G6” featuring Cataracs & Dev. The California-based quartet end Bruno Mars’ four-week reign as they push down the latter’s “Just The Way You Are” to number two.
“Just A Dream,” the new Nelly track, is still doing well, hanging on to number three. Slowly but surely inching its way to the top is Rihanna with “Only Girl (In The World),” which improves from number six to four.
Maintaining a solid presence in the charts at number five is Usher with “DJ Got Us Falling In Love” featuring Pitbull.
Taylor Swift’s brand new single “Back To December” debuts this week at number six. Swift scores the number one spot at the Digital Songs Chart with an impressive 242,000 downloads.
Katy Perry, meanwhile, slides down three notches to number seven this week with “Teenage Dream.” Likewise Taio Cruz inches down from seven to eight with “Dynamite.”
Flo Rida is unmoving this week with the “Step Up 3D” movie track “Club Can’ Handle Me” featuring David Guetta who stays put at number nine. Rounding off this week’s rundown of the top singles is Trey Songz with “Bottom Up” featuring Nicki Minaj who rises from thirteen to ten.
