Young Jeezy's Def Jam/IDJ album The Inspiration looks headed for the #1 spot on next week's HITS Top 50 with between 325-350k, but don't count out American Idol winner Taylor Hicks' RCA/RMG debut, either, which looks like 300k now, though it could go higher based on weekend sales.

That's the word from our crack staff of retail gurus nationwide. At least those who haven't fled for the hills just yet. Actually, it will be a three-way race for the top with the surging Disney Records' Hannah Montana soundtrack having an outside shot at springing the upset and giving the House of Mouse three of the top albums of 2007 alongside High School Musical and Lyric Street's Rascal Flatts. Hey, it good to be Bob Cavallo.




ouchhh... considering their predictions are usually more than actual. hell probably just do 280k. that's like less than Chris Daughtry

Cyea!! and I LUV IT, CHEAH! AND I LUV IT!!

It should be Taylor that's #1, not Jeezy. Taylor is more deserving IMO...even though he is kinda weird.

I don't know how else to say it, but you just need to stop being so obnoxious. I have no problem with you being a fan of urban music, but there is no need for post after post after post of your nonsense. Arith is an avid urban fan and he is definitely tolerable unlike you. God, your name is even obnoxious. I think I speak for most of us when I say TONE IT DOWN A BIT!

Oh yeah...Taylor Hicks sucks.

Young Jeezy? Pssh, I smell a quick fall after the first week. Taylor Hicks? LMAO. Go die.

I'm going to give Taylor Hicks's CD a few track sample run, but I'm glad to see Daughtry *possibly* selling more than him.

Yay. Great news.
It made my day, die Grandpa!

LMFAO

They both deserve it.

Yay. I Love Jezzy

So I assume Tyrese is not even 'up' there. That's sad. His rap/r&b idea wasn't a great idea because he can't rap, but the cd was pretty decent. I guess he is gonna flop if he's not even mentioned in the article.

I guess I'll take that as a compliment? Anyways, I'm buying "The Insporation", but I doubt I'm gonna buy Tayylor Hicks's CD.

he sucks

they both suck jeezy is wack and hicks is a ***

Neither of them deserve it.

Quoting Timbaland Wait A Minute, I did not double post I guess Jon, you don't like it when I say the word cheah that's fine I'm just a huge fan I'm trying not to annoy anybody I just get excited that these past rap albums have owned the billboard charts

wait a minute??

They predicted around 100k for Tyrese

Katharine McPhee & Daughtry are better than Hicks

I hope Jeezy gets it, I LUV IT <3
