Emerging from its winter doldrums, next week’s chart promises at least three new albums that could crack the so-far elusive 100k mark, according to one-day sales reports from our crack network of retailers.
Musiq Soulchild, now signed to
Next up is Universal Motown’s Atlanta-based R&B singer Lloyd, whose projected 140k will put him in a dogfight with Musiq for #1.
Zone 4/Interscope’s
The week’s biggest surprise after Musiq, though, might well be highly touted
Veteran rockers Type O Negative are looking at a robust first-week total of between 25-30k for their new album, Dead Again, on the indie SPV label.
Another
Next week’s releases include Virgin soul queen Joss Stone, Capitol’s incarcerated gangsta rapper C-Murder and American Idol album Elliott Yamin on newly launched Sony/ATV-backed indie Hickory Records.
The market was up 2% vs. last week, down almost 20% vs. same week last year and now down over 16% year-to-date.
