Weakend Chart Preview

Michael Buble soars this week to possibly over half a million in sales following his highly rated prime-time NBC special. Can he sustain his momentum through the next to last Christmas shopping weekend of the year? The #2 spot appears to be solid right now for The Black Keys. But nipping at its heels is the formidable Adele, who has thus far defied almost every sales trend in the modern music era. Here's how it looks headed into the weekend:

Michael Buble (Reprise) 475-525k
*The Black Keys (Nonesuch) 180-200k
Adele (XL/Columbia) 170-180k
Justin Bieber (Island/IDJ) 160-170k
*Amy Winehouse (Universal Republic) 95-100k
Andrea Bocelli Concerto (Decca) 90-95k
Drake (YM/CM/Universal Republic) 75-80k
Nickelback (Roadrunner) 60-65k
Jackie Evancho Heavenly Christmas (Syco/Columbia) 60-65k
Andrea Bocelli My Christmas (Decca) 60-65k
Rihanna (Def Jam/IDJ) 55-60k
Scotty McCreery (Mercury Nashville/19/Interscope) 50-55k
Now 40 (Capitol/EMI) 50-55k
*Glee, Vol. 7 (Columbia) 50-55k
Glee Christmas, Vol. 2 (Columbia) 45-50k
*Korn (Roadrunner) 45-50k
*Chevelle (Epic) 45-50k

*Debuts (12/8p)
