The Disney rockers will debut at #1 next week with their Hollywood Records album, Lines, Vines and Trying Times, their third for the label, and first since last year’s A Little Bit Longer.
Based on one-day sales reports from those record retailers who haven’t reopened as medicinal marijuana dispensaries, the band is looking at a total of 300k, give or take.
Next highest debut will be Epic’s Incubus, with Monuments and Melodies, a greatest hits package that includes five new songs, which should debut in the Top 5 with 60-65k.
Concord Music Group’s Will Downing and Reprise’s Michael Buble are up next in the 20-25k range, followed by Columbia’s Pete Yorn and Curb’s Hank Williams Jr., with 12-15k apiece.
Street Sweeper Social Club, the collaboration between Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello and The Coup’s Boots Riley, on their own Street Sweeper label, is just behind with a total that could be anywhere from 10-15k.
A2M’s Spinal Tap acoustic album is next, with estimates between 8-10k, and perhaps an outside shot at “11”?
The market was down 1% vs. last week, down 32% vs. same week last year, which was when Lil Wayne scored his million-selling debut, and now down 14% year to date.
