CHART PREVIEW: IT’S FIVE FOR 50

Massacre’s #1 Reign Continues, Top Debuts Fight for Second Place
With many of the incoming sales reports in the hopper and making their way through our retail department’s abacus array, this much is clear: 50 Cent will once again be #1 on this week’s chart.

That makes five weeks on top for the riddled rapper and around 2.8 million copies sold. And with radio still playing more Fitty than not, there's no telling how long this could continue.

Meanwhile, fighting it out for #2 and top debut honors are Beck and Beanie Sigel, whose Guero (Interscope) and The B. Coming (Def Jam) are each on track to sell around 135k apiece.

Also debuting on the chart this week are 112, whose Pleasure & Pain (Def Soul) looks headed for #4 based on sales of around 115k; Will Smith, whose Lost and Found (Interscope) is looking like #6 at just under 100k (behind Now 18, which should come in at just over 100k); blue-collar comic Larry the Cable Guy, whose The Right to Bare Arms (Warner Bros.) looks like it will come in over 80k; and new artist The Bravery, whose self-titled debut (Island) looks like it will finish impressively with a first-week total of over 30k.
