New releases

YOUR NEW RELEASES: It doesn't look like any of this week's new releases will debut at #1, though we're duty-bound to say that R. Kelly's Black Panties has one of our favorite titles ever. For now, Garth Brooks seems most likely to repeat and with a total that appears to be north of 150k. Tonight, however, Kelly Clarkson and Duck Dynasty’s The Robertsons go head to head with Christmas specials. Who will finish with the season’s best-selling holiday album? To date, The Robertsons have nearly a 70k lead over Clarkson. Will tonight's specials tighten or widen that gap? Here are this week's key debuts:

R. Kelly (RCA) 90-100k
Childish Gambino (Glassnote) 80-90k
Neil Young (Reprise) 18-22k

In a related story, the Chanukah compilation I Think the Soup Is Saltier This Year is not expected to sell impressively. (12/11p)
