She took some time off to have a baby, and baby is she back.

Epic’s Celine Dion, 14 months after delivering her first child, looks to deliver a #1 debut with A New Day Has Come, dethroning last week’s #1, Now Vol. 9 (UTV). As predicted, sales look to cross the 500k mark.

MJM/MCA’s Avant is in ecstasy, as his Ecstasy also having a biiiiiiig week, with a probable Top 5 debut.
