The huge, soon-to-be #1 album was trending up by the end of last week, and before the chart is finalized this afternoon, the numbers are expected to show that the trend held up through the weekend.
Slipknot’s Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) (Roadrunner/IDJ) also still appears to be besting predictions from early last week, with reports pointing to an impressive 275k first week, lining it up for a big #2.
