Chart tease

TUESDAY MORNING CHART COUNTDOWN: As we look at the HITS Building Album Sales Chart a few hours before it goes final, we’re reminded of the immortal words of then-Arizona Cardinals head coach Dennis Green, who said of the opposing team after a defeat, “They are who we thought they were.” That modern-day aphorism applies to the debuting (and soon to be chart-topping) Kenny Chesney and seven other long-legged occupants of the building Top 10: Michael Bublé, Justin Timberlake, Blake Shelton, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Fall Out Boy, P!nk and Bruno Mars. We’ve grown accustomed to seeing these names in the upper reaches of all kinds of charts, and this week’s is no exception, as the Top 15 closely resembles our midweek projection from last Thursday. How’d we do that? Blind luck. (5/7a)
