Young Jeezy

It was a white Christmas on the Billboard charts as Young Jeezy’s fourth album arrives in the top 3.

Thug Motivation 103: Hustlerz Ambition filled plenty of stockings this year, debuting at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 with 233,000 copies sold in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan. It becomes the Snowman’s fifth-straight top five set. His last effort, 2008’s The Recession, opened at No. 1 with 260,000.

Following Jeezy, the next highest debut of the week was from Common, whose ninth album The Dreamer/The Believer comes in at No. 18 with 69,000. His previous release, Universal Mind Control, sold 82,000 when it debuted in December 2008.

Elsewhere, Michael Bublé spent the holidays at No. 1 with his Christmas album (467,000), Adele continues her chart reign at No. 2 (399,000), Justin Bieber’s Under the Mistletoe falls 3-4 (225,000), Drake’s Take Care climbs 7-5 (131,000), and Rihanna’s Talk That Talk jumps 14-7 (99,000), boosted by an Amazon.com MP3 sale.

HAWAII LIVING: Sasha & Malia Obama Head Out With Dad For Some QT

The Obama family seems to be having a great holiday in Hawaii. Recently, President Obama was spotted taking Sasha and Malia to Sea Life Park. See the pics inside...

Yesterday, President Obama took daughters Malia (13) and Sasha (10) and a few friends to Sea Life Park in Waimanalo, Hawaii. Looks like the girls just finished swimming and playing in the sun.

The Obamas were joined by Mr. Obama's best friend Marty Nesbitt (in the yellow),his wife Anita Blanchard (in black) and their kids Alex and Roxanne).

Earlier in the day, the Presidential family released four green sea turtles that were born at Sea Life Park into the bay. Sweet!

I love to see family fun!
