Next week’s second-highest bow should go to hip-hop icon LL Cool J, whose Def Jam/IDJ release should come in just shy of 100k. LL could get some competition from Maverick rookie Daniel Powter, who’s looking 60k-70k-ish right now, but tonight another contestant will get voted off American Idol, and tens of millions of viewers will hear that damned song once again...so the crooner’s tally could go up.

And now for the weekly perspective. Album sales for the week ending last Sunday were up around 3% compared to the previous week, and up about 15% over the comparable week of 2005, thanks to Rascal Flatts posting the biggest April debut of all time. That’ll bring the year-to-date deficit down to around 2%.
