Linkin Park*has sold more albums in the U.S. than any other act that has emerged since January 2000, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The band's new album,*The Hunting Party, is expected to sell about 100K copies in its first week, which will extend its lead. But keep an eye out for*Taylor Swift. The country/pop superstar has a new album due in the fourth quarter, which may enable her to move up to the top spot. – Paul Grein
