Weakend Chart Preview

Capitol/EMI's Now 43 will debut at #1 next week, the first time a Now compilation has debuted on top since Now 37 hit the summit in February, 2011, with 151k. Of course, there will likely be a surprise or two, thanks to Amazon MP3's 99-cent Daily Deals, starting with a probable #3 finish for Frank Sinatra's Nothing but the Best. In the meantime, here's how it looks headed into the weekend:

*Now 43 (Capitol/EMI) 110-120k
Rick Ross (Def Jam/IDJ) 60-65k
Frank Sinatra (Reprise) 40-45k
 Zac Brown Band (Atlantic) 30-35k
