Not really tough though, not taking away from him but this has been a dismal Xmas season for sales, so him jumping in at one is not to far a stretch

Looks like Bruno Mars may orbiting the top of the Billboard album chart after all. After it experienced stronger-than-usual sales over the weekend, Bruno's new album Unorthodox Jukebox now has a shot at becoming his first #1 album. Initially, projections had Taylor Swift 's Red taking the #1 spot on the chart, followed by Michael Buble 's Christmas album, leaving Bruno in the dust at #3. But the album sold between 180 and 190 thousand copies over the weekend: way more than expected. Now, it's a fight to the death with Taylor Swift for the top spot, since Red sold around the same amount. We'll find out for sure on Wednesday morning. If Unorthodox Jukebox debuts at #1, it'll be Bruno's first chart-topping disc. His debut, Doo-Wops & Hooligans , peaked at #3 in 2010. Meanwhile, Bruno's hit "Locked Out of Heaven" has reached #1 on Billboard 's Pop Songs chart, which measures airplay. That ties him with Nelly and Justin Timberlake for the most #1s on that chart among solo male artists: they all have five.

Really glad for him. Plus I'm loving the mini jheri curl.

I was thinking today how I like his hair like that. He looks more attractive some how. I think he dersves to go to number 1. His album is the best pop album out right now, I can think of. I hope musically he gets even freakier.

He actually deserves it this time.

This might make Tyler the Creator insane!

His lead single is a rip-off

so happy for him! he deserves it!

Taylor Swift is # 1 damn her. I got Bruno's new deluxe gotta listen to it.

fuckin' Taylor Swift and her fans I like some country here and there but not into this girl at all.

Hopefully Bruno will have a chance to be #1 next week...

Swift ain't country...
