Mid-Weeks

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
Fall Out Boy (Island/IDJ) 40-45k
Kid Cudi (Republic) 35-40k
Blake Shelton (Warner Bros. Nashville) 35-40k
* Rob Zombie (T-Boy/UMe) 27-32k
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (Macklemore) 27-30k
Lil Wayne (Young Money/Cash Money/Republic) 24-27k
P!nk (RCA) 24-27k
Bruno Mars (Atlantic) 24-27k
The Band Perry (Republic Nashville) 22-25k
* Will.i.am (Interscope) 21-24k
Imagine Dragons (Interscope) 19-21k
Florida Georgia Line (Big Machine/Republic) 19-21k
