WEEK IN PREVIEW: ALICIA HAS THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM

It’s over but the counting, as J Records neo-soul/R&B diva Alicia Keys will debut at the top of the chart this week. Her sophomore set, The Diary of Alicia Keys is on track to sell around 600k in its first week out.

Multiple TV appearances, such as Oprah, Good Morning America, and two nights on the Tonight Show and the fact that she was a superstar, multi-Grammy winner might have had something to do it

Hitting the streets Tuesday are new discs from Hoobastank (Island/IDJ), the Offspring (Columbia), American Idol’s Ruben Studdard (J), Musiq (Def Jam/IDJ) and Avant (Geffen). Now back to your regularly scheduled napping. Us too.
