Country crooner McGraw’s Live Like You Were Dying (Curb) is now set to move in on 750k sold in the album’s first week, making it #1 by a mile, though slightly less than the 800k we were predicting before the weekend. Kelly’s sex-and-holiness double Happy People/U Saved Me (Jive) should make 400k for the week, putting it at #2. And newcomer Young Buck, out of 50 Cent’s G-Unit posse (like Lloyd Banks), appears headed for #3 based on first-week sales of 275k or so.
Last week’s top two, Now 16 (UTV) and Ashlee Simpson’s Autobiography (Geffen) will likely round out the Top Five.
Hitting the streets tomorrow (8/31) are albums from LL Cool J, Papa Roach and Ray Charles (see story). Each is initially forecasted to sell 100k or better, with LL Cool J expected to reach as high as 150k.Site Powered by |
