1-Days

YOUR NEW RELEASES: It looks like Blake Shelton will battle Barbra Streisand for next week's #1. It just so happens that The Voice coach Shelton (seen here in a mullet-tastic pic from more than a decade ago) is one of Streisand's duet Partners, so he'll have some claim on the top spot no matter what. Here are this week’s key debuts:

Blake Shelton (Warner Bros. Nashville) 80-90k
Lady Antebellum (Capitol Nashville) 65-70k
Prince (NPG/Warner Bros.) 40-45k
The Script (Columbia) 24-27k
Prince & 3RDEYEGIRL (NPG/Warner Bros.) 21-24k
Tove Lo (Island) 19-22k
Colbie Caillat (Republic) 17-19k
Melissa Etheridge (Me) 10-12k
Gerard Way (Warner Bros.) 10-12k

And yes, Prince is indeed releasing two albums this week, a funky affair under his own name and a rock-skewing workout with distaff trio 3RDEYEGIRL. We'd love 2 know what U think of them. (10/1p)
