Initial reports suggested that Paris Hilton's second studio album - Infinite Icon - was going to reach the Top 10 this week on the Billboard 200 with sales around 45K, this according to HDD. That however did not happen, and the album left the US charts altogether. 80% of its second week "sales" were filtered out. Alleged fraudulent sales by her team and/or the Hiltons? Who can never be sure.
The album initially debuted at no. 38 on the Billboard 200 in its first week with 18,000 album equivalent-units sold, making it Hilton's first appearance on the chart since her debut album Paris (2006).
