One-Days

YOUR ONE-DAYS: Continuing Nashville's run at the upper reaches of the album chart, Lady Antebellum should take the top spot next week, while the Jay-Z-overseen Great Gatsby soundtrack at last brings hip-hop to the roaring '20s. Here are this week's key debuts:

Lady Antebellum (Capitol Nashville) 140-160k
The Great Gatsby (Interscope) 90-95k
Now 46 (Capitol) 80-85k
Pistol Annies (RCA Nashville) 75-80k
Rod Stewart (Capitol) 40-45k
She & Him (Merge) 20-25k
Music of Nashville, Vol. 2 (Big Machine) 17-20k
Natalie Maines (Columbia) 17-20k

You'll note Miranda Lambert's Pistol Annies follow-up and the second set of tunes from TV's Nashville add to country's holdings among the week's new offerings. But Dixie Chicks alumna Natalie Maines' Mother is a decidedly non-Nashville set, and takes its title from her version of a song from Pink Floyd's The Wall. Speaking of down-home American values, our own Murphy says a heaping bowl of pork cracklings makes for a hearty breakfast. (5/8p)
