Weaknd Chart Preview

With an appearance tonight on American Idol, we're giving Adam Lambert the edge for #1 next week. Idol alumni hold down two of the Top 3 as Sony Music lands a whopping seven titles in the Top 10. Adele will record her lowest total yet and still likely remain at #2. In its 65 weeks on the chart, 21 has only dipped below 100k twenty times. Here's how it looks headed into the weekend:

*Adam Lambert (19/RCA) 70-75k
Adele (XL/Columbia) 60-65k
Carrie Underwood (19/Arista Nashville) 55-60k
Now 42 (Capitol/EMI) 45-50k
*Tenacious D (Columbia) 45-50k
*Glee Cast: The Graduation (Columbia) 40-45k
Lionel Richie (Mercury Nashville) 40-45k
