Mid-Weeks

YOUR MID-WEEK ROUNDUP: Gary Allan will score his first-ever #1 album next week (meaning the BBQ is on MCA Nashville chief Mike Dungan). The Lumineers, following their SNL appearance, see a nice increase to land at #2. Their self-titled Dualtone release is approaching 900k to date, which would merit an admiring "Ho Hey" even if they weren't on an indie label. Here's how things look headed into the weekend.

* Gary Allan (MCA Nashville) 90-100k
Lumineers (Dualtone) 55-60k
Pitch Perfect (UMe) 40-45k
A$AP Rocky (RCA) 35-40k
* 2013 Grammy Nominees (Capitol) 35-40k
Bruno Mars (Atlantic) 35-40k
Kidz Bop 23 (Razor & Tie) 35-40k
Taylor Swift (Big Machine) 30-35k
Les Misérables (Republic) 30-35k
Mumford & Sons (Glassnote) 25-30k
* Randy Houser (Stoney Creek) 21-24k
Imagine Dragons (Interscope) 21-24k
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (Macklemore) 18-21k
Phillip Phillips (19/Interscope) 18-21k
One Direction (Syco/Columbia) 17-20k
Alicia Keys (RCA) 17-20k
P!nk (RCA) 17-20k

* Debuts

Speaking of the weekend, who's up for some sitting at home all alone and eating oyster crackers in the dark? Just us? Figures. (1/24p)
