Look for new albums from Atlantic hip-hop star Lupe Fiasco and Columbia’s Glee Vol. 5 to battle for the top spot on next week’s chart, with Arista/RMG’s Avril Lavigne, Warner Bros.’ R.E.M., H2O/EMI’s Raekwon and RCA Nashville’s Sara Evans also hitting retail and online sites this week.
Goodbye Lullaby deserves to flop. Avril made her fans wait four years for her alleged "acoustic" art record and it turned out to be her blandest, least creative effort yet.
