Next week's numbers

THE (VERY) EARLY SHOW: With the battle for #1 on this week's chart still raging, we give you some early numbers (with the usual caveats) on next week's contenders.

Coldplay (Parlophone) 325-350k
Brantley Gilbert (Valory) 170-190k
Phillip Phillips (19/Interscope) 30-35k

Monday releases are always a bit difficult to predict for a number of reasons; this week we’re hearing that several accounts failed to put out the new titles at a substantial number of their stores. And Target, which has the Coldplay exclusive, advertised the Monday release in their circular as “in stores Tuesday.” In any case, stay tuned for updates. (5/20a)
