Billboard 200: 7/16/11: Beyonce #1: 310k

[HolidayGuy]

Target had a sale price for Prince's album again, or is it available at all outlets now?

[Honeymoon]

I Am Sasha Fierce must have sold another 5k+ this week. I wonder when they're going to certify it 3xp...

[Honeymoon]

I wonder how much B'Day sold this week, I would have expected it to do more than Dangerously in Love this week but the same thing happened in the UK album chart
