beyonceWith no new major urban releases in the last week, it was one of the first breathing points for the charts this past week. There was plenty of movement. For another week, Taylor Swift’s Fearless reigned supreme yet again. The Country star was one of the few staple positions in R&B took the top of the charts. Beyonce bumped Keyshia Cole back for her #2 spot with I Am…Sasha Fierce .

Kanye West’s 808’s & Heartbreak returned with a vengeance, from not Top 10 to Top 5. The album, received to varying reviews, made the million mark this week. Keyshia Cole’s A Different Me fell close behind, remaining strong in her second week out. Jamie Foxx followed two positions after, with his Intuition album fell a simple six spots from its debut week. T.I. returned too, with his award-winning Paper Trail coming back into the Top 15.
