NE-YO APPROACHING 250K, BUBLE 200K+

Def Jam Urban Star Will Bow #1, Buble #2
Ne-Yo is riding Because of You to the top of the charts.

The Def Jam Urban superstar's new album will debut at #1 tomorrow with a total that could approach 250k, taking over from Arista's Avril Lavigne, whose The Best Damn Thing slips to #3 after two weeks on top.

Reprise crooner Michael Buble's Call Me Irresponsible is on target to go above 205k, good enough for #2.

Anthem/Atlantic Canuck perennials Rush's Snakes and Arrows has activated the band's huge fan base with a first-week total of 85k, putting just behind Lavigne in the battle for #3.

SBMG Nashville's Miranda Lambert is next up, debuting at #5 with 54k, followed by RCA/RMG perennial Daughtry, still strong at #6 with 50k.

Another country star, WB Nashville's Blake Shelton, appears set for a Top 10 bow with 49k, neck-and-neck with fellow newcomer, Epic's Tori Amos, both around the 49k mark.

EMI's Now 24 and Arista Nashville's Carrie Underwood round out the week's top 10 with around 45k apiece.
