YOUR NEW RELEASES: Avenged Sevenfold will score their second #1 album and likely best their previous bow of 162.5k (for 2010’s Nightmare). Here are this week's key debuts:

Avenged Sevenfold (Warner Bros.) 170-180k
Big Sean (Def Jam/IDJ) 75-85k
Juicy J (Columbia) 60-65k
Various: Alabama & Friends (Show Dog) 24-27k
Bob Dylan (Columbia) 15-17k

The deluxe version of Bob Dylan’s Bootleg Series Vol. 10 is not being merged with the regular version; the deluxe is on track to sell about 6-8k. And if you're in the market for bootlegs, the UMPG security staff highly (and we mean highly) recommends Deep Purple at the Spectrum in 1978. It pairs beautifully with an unoaked Chardonnay and a spleef the size of a tree branch. (8/28p)
