HOIST THE BUBLE,
BLACK KEYS REV UP

Reprise’s Sinatra-like crooner will easily remain at #1 next week, with sales that will be in the 400-500k range. His NBC special last night was the network’s highest-rated prime-time show since July.

Warner Bros. will also have the top debut next week with the Black Keys' critically lauded Nonesuch release, El Camino, looking like between 160-180k, where it will battle with XL/Columbia’s indomitable U.K. thrush Adele for #2.

Universal Republic’s posthumous Amy Winehouse album, Lioness: Hidden Treasures, should do around 90-100k. The album is expected to debut at #1 in the U.K. next week.

Columbia’s Glee Vol. 7 is on target for a debut of between 50-55k, followed by Roadrunner’s Korn album The Path of Totality (45-50k), Def Jam/IDJ rap group The Roots’ Undun (35-40k), Star Trak/Interscope’s Robin Thicke (30-35k) and Nappy Boy/RCA’s T-Pain album RevolveR (25-28k).

Finally, Legacy/Columbia’s The Very Best of Neil Diamond, which arrives on the heels of his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year, is slated for 15-18k.

Album sales were down 18% vs. last week, down 13% vs. same week last year and up 2% year to date.

Track sales were down 6% vs. last week, down 2% vs. same week last year and up 9% year to date.

Is it 2012 yet?
