Your Weakend Chart Preview


Adele's XL/Columbia sophomore release, 21, will explode onto the chart next week with a total that will go between 325-350k, thanks to a spate of high-visibility TV performances. The rest of the Top 15 is made up of the usual suspects from the last few weeks, only with a lot lower numbers as the post-Grammy/Valentine's Day hangover begins. Of note this week, Mumford & Sons and Rihanna are both expected to cross the 1m mark.

Adele (XL/Columbia): 325-350k
Justin Bieber Never Say Never-The Remixes (Island/IDJ) 110-120k
Now 37 (Capitol/EMI) 65-70k
Mumford & Sons (Glassnote) 60-65k
Justin Bieber My World 2.0 (Island/IDJ) 45-50k
Bruno Mars (New Elektra) 35-40k
