The Black Eyed Peas Reign the Charts

In this week chart success story, the Black Eyed Peas destroy at least eleven charts in Billboard chart issue this week. This in all honesty is a first for the group, scoring their first #1 song in the country with "Boom Boom Pow" and their first #1 album with The E.N.D. "Boom Boom Pow" has been at the top spot for eleven weeks now and The E.N.D. sold 304,000 copies in it's first week. They truly deserve this. The album is great you all, so I recommend you buy it, for real.

Other debuts on the album chart were Pleasure P's The Introduction of Marcus Cooper, charting at #10 for the 1st week, selling 39,000 copies. This is Pleasure P's solo debut, following his departure from R&B group Pretty Ricky. Personally, I couldn't really bite into this one. It's a bit premature. Mos Def's recent album The Ecstatic stomped on at #9.

As for the singles charts, the Black Eyed Peas also hold the #2 spot with their brand new single, "I Gotta Feeling". Keri Hilson keeps it cute and consistent, staying at #3 with "Knock You Down". Lady GaGa glides up one spot from #6 to #5 with "LoveGame". "Fire Burning" from Sean Kingston climbs a spot as well from #9 to #8.

Mary J. Blige: "Stronger"

"Stronger" is a clip of a song by Mary J. Blige obviously in the works for her upcoming album. Before this song was recorded by Mary, singer Keri Hilson wrote and recorded the song with production done by Polow Da Don. Take a listen and compare both clips below.
