Weakend Chart Preview

Lil Wayne will easily repeat at #1 next week despite a second week drop of around 75%. Although there is only one debut in this week's Top 15, there are, however, a few new entries. The Beatles 1 album re-enters the chart (and Top 5) thanks to becoming available digitally for the first time this week at iTunes. Maroon 5's Hands All Over benefits from a reissue with the new track, "Moves Like Jagger," and sale pricing at iTunes. Here's how it looks headed into the weekend:

Lil Wayne (Cash Money/Universal Republic) 230-250k
Adele (XL/Columbia) 115-125k
*George Strait (MCA Nashville) 80-90k
Red Hot Chili Peppers (Warner Bros.) 70-75k
Beatles 1 (Capitol/EMI) 60-65k
Jay Z & Kanye West (Roc-a-Fella/Roc Nation) 55-60k
Maroon 5 (A&M/Octone) 35-40k
Katy Perry (Capitol/EMI) 30-35k
Now 39 (Capitol/EMI) 27-30k
David Guetta (Capitol/EMI) 24-27k
Jason Aldean (Broken Bow) 24-27k
Luke Bryan (Capitol Nashville/EMI) 24-27k
Foster the People (Columbia) 24-27k
Beyonce (Columbia) 24-27k
Barbra Streisand (Columbia) 21-24k
Lady Gaga (Interscope) 21-24k
