Weakend Chart Preview

Evanescence will score the #1 album next week. It's the #2 spot that may be up for grabs as Adele, in her 34th week, will face some competition from Scotty McCreery, down only 50-55% in his second week, and from Jeff Kwatinetz's Five Finger Death Punch, who will more than double their previous best chart week. Here's how it looks headed into the weekend:

*Evanescence (Wind-up) 110-120k
Adele (XL/Columbia) 95-105k
Scotty McCreery (Mercury Nashville/19/Interscope) 90-95k
*Five Finger Death Punch (Prospect Park/EMI Label Services) 90-95k
*Lauren Alaina (Mercury Nashville/19/Interscope) 60-65k
Tony Bennett (Columbia) 55-60k
*Ryan Adams (PAX-AM/Capitol/EMI) 50-55k
Lady Antebellum (Capitol Nashville/EMI) 45-50k
Lil Wayne (Cash Money/Universal Republic) 40-45k
*Martina McBride (Republic Nashville) 35-40k
J Cole (Roc Nation/Columbia) 30-35k
Foster the People (Columbia) 27-30k
*Joe Jonas (Hollywood) 21-24k
Jay Z & Kanye West (Roc-a-Fella/Roc Nation) 18-21k
