*UPDATED* Billboard Update


^This week's #1 album on the Billboard 200 chart
This week's #1 single on the Hot 100 chart^

See full chart HERE.

Again this week. You know how I feel about these (*gag*), but the top spots aren't the big news this week. With the release of the 25th Anniversary Edition of his classic album Thriller, Michael Jackson had the second-best selling album of the week, with 166,000 copies sold. Unfortunately, despite even getting past all those post-Grammy sales spikes (see: Amy Winehouse), Thriller 25 is ineligible to chart on the Billboard 200, according to them, because it is a "catalog" album. Even with all that time in the recording studio and all those new tracks ... sad. Well, go MJ anyway! (Read the article HERE)

UPDATE: Mariah Carey had the top debut of the week on the Hot 100 with "Touch My Body" at #57, Billboard reports. Exciting!
