YOUR MID-WEEKS: Michael Buble will debut at #1 on next week's album chart with a total greater than his previous non-holiday album, Crazy Love, which opened in October 2009 with 132k. Crazy Love was released on a Friday, however, so its total represents only the first three days of sales. With Mother's Day quickly approaching, Buble's latest is expected to stay on pace to match the three-week total of Crazy Love. Here's how it looks headed into the weekend:
* Michael Buble (Reprise) 150-170k
* Fantasia (RCA) 85-95k
Justin Timberlake (RCA) 60-65k
* Phoenix (Glassnote) 45-50k
