With one-day sales pouring in from around the country, it appears Universal Records' Curious George soundtrack, which is essentially a new Jack Johnson album, will be headed north of the 100k sales mark, maybe even to 120k, which ordinarily might be good enough for a #1 debut.
The animated film version of the classic children's tale opens Friday, and that could be enough to catapult the soundtrack to the top of the chart jungle.
Or not depending on what goes down at the Staples Center tonight.
A number of high-profile Grammy hopefuls and performers should experience sales jumps this week, most notably this week's #2 finisher, Mary J. Blige, who saw a big boost last week thanks to an appearance on Oprah dissing James Frey. Hey, only kidding.
Who else will experience the Grammy Effect? Among the hot candidates for upward movement: Jamie Foxx, John Legend, Mariah Carey, Kanye West, Gwen Stefani and, of course, perennial Grammy fave Jimmy Sturr and His Orchestra.
Other chart newcomers include the following:
