'21' to earn 24th week at #1; 74K on Hits
Quote:
With the impact of her NBC special this past Sunday now clear, it looks as though Adele will score another week at #1, her 24th, tying the record for fourth longest run on top of the album charts with the Purple Rain and Saturday Night Fever soundtracks. West Side Story holds the record for most weeks at #1 with 54, with Michael Jackson's Thriller #2 at 37 weeks. Tied for third place are Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, Harry Belafonte's Calypso and South Pacific, all with 31 weeks.
Alan Jackson's 30 Miles West, his Capitol Nashville/EMI bow after many years with Arista Nashville, looks to be the top-charting debut, with between 65-70k, based on one-day reports from whatever retailers haven't paved paradise and put up a parking lot.

Hopefully this week isn't a flop like this one. 
Billboard Update:
Quote:
That Adele reign just won't stop. The diva's "21" album could return to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart next week, according to industry sources. Those in the know suggest the set will sell over 70,000 copies by week's end on June 10 -- enough to secure the top slot.
The new Billboard 200 chart's top 10 will be revealed on the morning of June 13.
If "21" returns to No. 1, it will mark the longest run at No. 1 since Prince and the Revolution's "Purple Rain" soundtrack also spent 24 weeks at the top in 1984 and 1985. Additionally, "21" would become one of only eight albums to rack up six months atop the list.
Sales are up a bit for "21" this week thanks to NBC's hour-long prime time special, "Adele Live In London," which aired on the night of June 3.
The highest debut next week will likely come from country king Alan Jackson with his "30 Miles West" album. It may sell in the range of 60,000 to 70,000. His last studio effort, 2010's "Freight Train," rolled in at No. 7 with 72,000 sold in its first week according to Nielsen SoundScan.
