BASICS GROWS FOR AGUILERA

New Album Now Looks Set to Top 350k, With Five Other Top 10 Debuts in Jennings, Adkins, Cheetah Girls, Cherish and Obie Trice
She’s Back to Basics and how.

RCA diva Christina Aguilera’s new album will easily top the HITS album chart next week, with a first-week total that could soar past 360k.

She is one of six newcomers to the Top 10, with Columbia rapper Lyfe Jennings (125-135k), Capitol Nashville’s Trace Adkins (115-125k) and Disney’s Cheetah Girls 2 soundtrack (85-90k) making it four for four debuts in the Top Four.

Lone Top 5 holdover Sony Music Group’s Now 22 remains steady at #5, followed by two more chart crashers in Capitol’s sister R&B foursome Cherish (75-80k) and Eminem posse member Obie Trice’s new Shady/Aftermath effort (75-80k).

Last week’s #1, Def Jam/IDJ hip-hop hustler Rick Ross drops to #8, with 70-75k, while Jive/ZLG’s Step Up soundtrack (60-65k) and Roadrunner/IDJ’s perennial Nickelback round out the 10 best.

Downtown/Atlantic’s Gnarls Barkley and Bad Boy/Atlantic’s Cassie are up next with between 45-50k apiece, trailed by Capitol’s LeToya (40-45k).

Tuesday, look for LaFace/ZLG’s massive new OutKast album, the soundtrack to their upcoming motion picture Idlewild, to hit retail with force.
