To wit, country mainstay George Strait is poised to see his new one, Somewhere Down in Texas (MCA Nashville), top this week’s proceedings with a first-week total approaching 250k. And following Strait in one of the more tantalizing contrasts of recent weeks, steaming-hot crunk duo the Ying Yang Twins are set to take #2 with United State of Atlanta (TVT), which looks like it will debut with about 150k in first-week sales.
That means last week’s #1 and #2, Coldplay and Mariah Carey, will each likely move down two slots to #3 and #4, respectively.
Also debuting this week is Cassidy’s I’m a Hustla (J Records), which should fill out this week’s Top 5 with first-week sales of 85k-90k. Meanwhile, Vivian Green’s Vivian (Sony Urban/Columbia) and Anthony Hamilton’s Soulife (Atlantic/Rhino) are expected to move about 50k apiece.
Check this space for a final rundown once this week’s chart is final this afternoon.SONG REVENUE: CALM BEFORE THE STORM
