In early reports, those two albums will fight it out for the #1 slot on this week's sales chart, with both looking to sell just this side of the 200k range.
Not surprisingly, the market will be down 50% from last week's end-of-the-year sales rush, though the extra 53rd week will result in 2004 being up 3% in total sales over 2003.
The rest of this week's Top 10, which should all top 100k, will be, in no particular order, Jay-Z/Linkin Park (Warner Bros.) Lil' Jon & the East Side Boyz (TVT) Now 17 (Capitol), Destiny's Child (Columbia), Usher (LaFace/ZLG), U2 (Interscope), Tupac and Ludacris (Def Jam South/IDJ).
Eminem, U2 and Tupac would give Interscope three of the Top 10 on the first chart of the new year.
