Weakend Chart Preview

Headed into the Mother's Day weekend, it now looks as if Carrie Underwood will score her first-ever second week at #1. Shockingly, no album by Underwood has ever spent more than one week at the top. Adele, who earlier in the week appeared as a likely challenger, may now have to settle for #2. Past history, however, suggests she can never be counted out, especially with Mother's Day this Sunday. Here's how it looks headed into the weekend:

Carrie Underwood (19/Arista Nashville) 105-115k
Adele (XL/Columbia) 90-95k
Now 42 (Capitol/EMI) 70-75k
Lionel Richie (Mercury Nashville) 60-65k
Norah Jones (Blue Note/EMI) 60-65k
*Silversun Pickups (Dangerbird) 35-40k
One Direction (Syco/Columbia) 35-40k
Jack White (Third Man/Columbia) 30-35k
*Tank (Atlantic) 27-30k
B.o.B. (Atlantic) 24-27k
Gotye (Fairfax/Universal Republic) 24-27k
Luke Bryan (Capitol Nashville/EMI) 24-27k
*Keane (Interscope) 18-21k
Smash (Columbia) 18-21k
Nicki Minaj (Young Money/Cash Money/Universal Republic) 18-21k
*Karmin (Epic) 18-21k

*Debuts (5/10p)
