Billboard Update

While Taylor refuses to 'swift'ly remove her Fearless booty from the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 album chart, slow album sales allowed for Mariah Carey's new compilation The Ballads to enter in as the Hot Shot Debut at #10 with 29,000 copies sold. Kelly Clarkson, however, has a bit more reason to celebrate. Her new single "My Life Would Suck Without You" not only tops the Hot 100 singles chart this week, but it jumped 97-1, breaking the record for largest leap to #1 set by Britney Spears not too long ago. First week digital sales of 280,000 copies allowed for this feat, which makes Kelly the first person from American Idol to achieve a Hot 100 #1 unrelated to the show. A big congrats goes out to Kelly!
