Hit One Days | Usher @ #1 with 425-450k
Quote:
HOUSE OF USHER: Next week's chart-topper, Usher's new LaFace/ZLG album, Here I Stand, hit the streets today to brisk sales. The debut will be one of the biggest of the year, so stay tuned as we crunch the numbers and tell you just how big. Mariah Carey's Island/IDJ album E=MC2 is the year's top bow at 475k, followed by Jack Johnson at 380k with his Brushfire/Universal Republic release, Sleep Through the Static. (5/27p)
STANDING TALL: Usher's just-released LaFace/ZLG album Here I Stand will be #1 in a romp next week, based on one-day sales from relieved retailers around the country. The album should do between 425-450k, which will challenge Mariah Carey for the year's best first-week sales. New Line Records' Sex and the City soundtrack is next up, at 30-35k, which could go higher based on the eagerly anticipated film opening this Friday. Blue Note's critically acclaimed new Al Green album, Lay It Down, produced by the Roots' ?uestlove, should do between 25-30k. The market was down 3% from last week, down 13% vs. same week last year and now down 11% year-to-date. (5/28p)
