JAY-Z LEADS THREE-WAY RACE
Chris Brown, Garth Brooks Trail in Battle for Next Week’s Chart
November 7, 2007
Jay-Z’s Roc-A-Fella/IDJ album American Gangster, his tribute to the Ridley Scott movie of the same name about legendary Harlem dope dealer Frank Lucas with an Oscar-worthy performance by Denzel Washington, looks like a pretty good shot to take the #1 spot on next week’s HITS Top 50.
According to retailers left around this great country of ours, he’s on track to sell between 400-450k. Judging how the Eagles do in their second week—and they will be performing on ABC’s nationally televised Country Music Awards tonight, so you never know—will determine next week’s #1.
Barry Weiss’ Team Jive continues its hot streak with the new Chris Brown album, Exclusive, with the smash single, “Kiss Kiss,” which appears headed for at the very least the Top Three and maybe even higher with between 300-350k.
The independently distribbed Garth Brooks album Ultimate Hits on Scott Borchetta’s Pearl Records imprint looks like it will do between 200-250k, though the CMAs could boost that number significantly.
Rapper Cassidy’s B.A.R.S. The Barry Adrian Reese Story, his new Full Surface/Ruff Ryders/J album, is on target for 70-80k
Suretone/Geffen’s Angels and Airwaves, the blink-182 spin-off, is looking at 65-75k.
Thanks to the Eagles, the market was up 11% vs last week, down 13% vs same week last year and now down 14.5% year-to-date.

i believe he will be #1 on the charts, but never listen to the ranges...sites was saying Ti vs Tip could sell 700K 1st week, and he did 469 ::)
-
Kingdom Come did 700k but they predicted I think 850k so this would be a big dropoff from his last album :-\

album is hot...deserves #1
-
i doubt it will do that big on numbers...not that major airplay i noticed on this one...mostly just like mixtape type of buzz and couple things here n there but no major push like kingdom come
