QUEEN BEY REIGNS ON: Physical sales onBeyoncé's year-end blockbuster are now projected at over 100k, thus raising the overall projection to 375k+ for the chart week ending today; it's likely that the album will reach the 1 million mark imminently, if it hasn't already. Retailers who have chosen not to carry the Columbia megadiva's album (due to the first-weekiTunes exclusive) appear to have hurt only themselves. (12/23a)

YOUR NEW RELEASE:
Yep, we're in the singular mode, as B.o.B. is the only major new release this week. Based on one-day sales, he's looking at a first week of 35-40k. Meanwhile, Beyoncé will enjoy another week atop the chart #1 with 250-275k, in which case she'll be nearing the 900k mark RTD; with physical product not hitting stores until the end of this week, the Queen's just getting started.

'Beyonce' Set for Second Week at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Chart
Forecasters suggest the album could sell 260,000-280,000 copies in the week ending Dec. 22.
Beyonce's self-titled album is aiming for a second week atop the Billboard 200 chart, according to industry forecasters.
The set debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart this week with 617,000 sold in the week ending Dec. 15, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Label sources suggest it could sell another 260,000 to 280,000 in the week ending Dec. 22.
The new Billboard 200's top 10 will be revealed on Thursday, Dec. 26.
That second-week sales sum would include physical CD copies of the album, as well as digital downloads from other retailers outside of iTunes. The album bowed exclusively in the iTunes Store on Dec. 13, and debuted atop the chart this week after only three days on sale.
iTunes is the only seller of the album through Dec. 18. The physical version of the album should start to reach U.S. retailers sometime between Dec. 18 and 20. (The arrival day varies, depending on how far -- and fast -- the CDs travel from the distribution center to retailers.)
If "Beyonce" sells 260,000 in its second frame, that would bring its cumulative total to 877,000 -- making it among the top 20 biggest-selling albums of 2013. It's currently ranked No. 24 on the year's best-seller list.
The highest new entry on next week's chart will likely be B.o.B's "Underground Luxury," with perhaps 35,000 sold.
