YOUR NEW RELEASES: Frozen will easily rule next week's album chart and—thanks to its arrival in Starbucks (presumably at child's-eye-level) and Easter, could approach 200k. You'll note that Disney's relentless soundtrack just passed the 2 million sales mark. Meanwhile, here are this week’s key debuts, including Frozen Karaoke, a dream gumbo of our two favorite things: Frozen and karaoke.
August Alsina (Grand Hustle/Def Jam) 50-60k

NEEDTOBREATHE (Atlantic) 45-50k
