Weakend Chart Preview

Adele hangs on to #1 next week before surely surrendering to Lady Gaga the following week. With album sales off just 1% now vs. last year, can this be the week we break even? Or do we need Gaga to ga-get over the mark? Either way, albums sales should go into June in the black. Here's how it looks headed into the weekend:

Adele 21 (XL/Columbia) 145-155k
*Seether (Wind-up) 55-60k
Now 38 (Capitol/EMI) 50-55k
Jason Aldean (Broken Bow) 28-32k
Christina Perri (Atlantic) 27-30k
Lonely Island (Universal Republic) 25-28k
Jennifer Lopez (Island/IDJ) 25-28k
Mumford & Sons (Glassnote) 25-28k
Beastie Boys (Capitol/EMI) 24-27k
Fleet Foxes (Sub Pop) 21-24k
Justin Bieber Never Say Never (Island/IDJ) 21-24k
*Michael Grimm (Epic) 20-22k
*Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi (Capitol/EMI) 20-22k
*Il Volo (Geffen) 20-22k
Adele 19 (XL/Columbia) 18-20k
Lemonade Mouth (Walt Disney) 18-20k
Foo Fighters (Roswell/RCA/RMG) 18-20k
