Billboard 200 Update (October 14, 2009)

The Backstreet Boys (May 4 - 11, 2008) debuted at #9 this week with their seventh album "This Is Us". The album moved 42,000 copies, which is almost half of the sales for 2007's "Unbreakable" in its first week, which debuted at #7. Their peak had already ended, but this was no fault to the boys. They could have gotten a lot more promotion in this week to boost the sales if Brian Littrell hadn't caught the swine flu. We were sure that promotion would take a good hit after that.
