Weakend Chart Preview

As the fourth quarter retail rush begins in earnest, Pittsburgh rapper Mac Miller could be looking at the first indie debut to bow at #1 since Tha Dogg Pound did it for Priority back in 1995, along with the first-ever chart-topper for Fontana, whose Ron Spaulding just happened to be at Priority when Tha Dogg Pound album came out. In all, look for up to five albums to score in six figures, as big releases Drake and Rihanna wait on deck.

Michael Buble (Reprise) 110-120k
*Now 40 (Capitol/EMI) 105-115k
*Twilight: Breaking Dawn (Chop Shop/Atlantic) 100-110k

Justin Bieber (Island/IDJ) 85-90k
Susan Boyle (Syco/Columbia) 70-75k
