Your Weakend Chart Preview

YOUR FACEBOOK-LESS WEAKEND CHART PREVIEW

In yet another close call this week, it appears that the Zac Brown Band and Maroon 5 will battle it out for #1 on next week's chart. Also, Eminem's Recovery officially becomes the best-selling album of the year with a total of 2.656m vs. Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now" with 2.641m. For what it's worth, last year at this time didn't look too much better than this week. For the week ending 9/27/09, Pearl Jam's Backspacer opened with 189k, but it did take over 30k to make in into the Top 15.
