Katy Perry's New Album Takes Eminem's Out Of Top Spot
http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/chart_watch/65105/week-ending-aug-29-2010-lifes-upsdowns/Like I said to Chaim in an Ask JTF question, it's plain to see that you have to be a filthy sodomite in order to make it in the recording industry anymore. Such is the state of affairs when a [censored] faggot rapper is only replaced on the top of the charts by a dyke lesbian pop strumpet.
Welcome to Sodom and Gomorrah, 2010-style.

Week Ending Aug. 29, 2010: Life's Ups & Downs
Posted Wed Sep 1, 2010 4:33pm PDT by Paul Grein in Chart Watch
Ever since "California Gurls" exploded four months ago, it was obvious that Katy Perry's sophomore album, Teenage Dream, would be a contender for #1. But few pegged Fantasia's third album, Back To Me, as a candidate for a top chart berth. But the sad events in Fantasia's personal life in recent weeks put a spotlight on the singer, which helps her album debut at #2, just behind Teenage Dream.
This is Perry's first #1 album. Her 2008 debut, One Of The Boys, peaked at #9. This is also a career high for Fantasia. Her 2004 debut, Free Yourself, hit #8. Her 2006 sophomore album, Fantasia, peaked at #19.
Perry's album dethrones Eminem's Recovery, which has logged seven weeks at #1, more than any other album this year. It falls to #3.
Teenage Dream sold 192,000 copies this week, which is the most that an album by a female solo artist has sold since Susan Boyle's I Dreamed A Dream moved 510K in the week ending Dec. 27, 2009. The two artists are rather different. Not to be ungentlemanly, but Boyle dreamed her last "Teenage Dream" in March 1981.
Teenage Dream sold more than four times as many copies in its first week as One Of The Boys did in June 2008. It started with sales of 47,000. In fact, Perry's new album sold more digital copies in its first week (50,000) than her previous album sold overall (physical and digital combined) in its first week. Teenage Dream is the week's #1 Digital Album.
The title song, "Teenage Dream" moves up from #2 to #1 on Hot Digital Songs. It also tops the 1 million mark in paid downloads this week. It jumps to #2 on the Hot 100. (Eminem's smash collabo with Rihanna, "Love The Way You Lie," logs its seventh week on top.)
