Universal Republic's The Hunger Games soundtrack will be the first non-Columbia title in 12 weeks to top the chart as the album appears on track for an opening just shy of 200k. With the film opening tomorrow, a strong weekend box office could potentially help drive sales even higher. UMG will also score the #1 album in the following two weeks as Madonna and Nicki Minaj will both debut on top. Columbia will have five of the Top Six albums next week and although Adele's 21 is no longer #1, it has sold a whopping 2.4 million albums this year alone and will repeat as 2012's best selling album. Here's how it looks headed into the weekend:

*The Hunger Games (Universal Republic) 180-200k
Adele 21 (XL/Columbia) 125-135k
*The Shins (Columbia) 70-75k
One Direction (Columbia) 55-60k
*Odd Future (Columbia/RED) 40-45k
Bruce Springsteen (Columbia) 35-40k
Whitney Houston (RCA) 28-32k
*Melanie Fiona (SRC/Universal Republic) 27-30k
Now 41 (Capitol/EMI) 24-27k
fun. (Fueled by Ramen/Atlantic) 21-24k
Gotye (Fairfax/Universal Republic) 20-23k
*Diggy (Atlantic) 20-23k
*Esperanza Spaulding (Concord) 20-23k
Adele 19 (XL/Columbia) 18-21k
Luke Bryan (Capitol Nashville/EMI) 17-20k
Rihanna (Def Jam/IDJ) 17-20k
Kelly Clarkson (19/RCA) 17-20k

*Debuts (3/22p)

[Cap10Planet]

Yes, Adele! Hold on to that 100k+.

Okay numbers for Melanie. If "4 AM" was a hit early on and another single was released (perhaps "Change The Record"), she could have done way more. I hope this becomes a slowburner like her last album.

Increase for Kelly!

So she'll spend the next 3 weeks at #2, giving her a total of 23 weeks @ #1 and 19 weeks @ #2.

Any other big releases after Nicki? Could she go back to #1 even though she'll probably be below 100k by then?

Kelly Clarkson (19/RCA) 17-20k

I hope so too.

I think that the albums in bold will have a hard battle for the top spot. And probably Adele will fall to #4 in that week. So, it seems that Adele can be #1 for 3 consecutive weeks after Nicki's release.

[Peep Show]

Diggy (Atlantic) 20-23k

I didn't expect much more since he had zero promo, it's okay I guess

[Cap10Planet]

Carrie will probably debut at #1 the week of May 1st. Norah and B.o.B will probably battle it out for #2. Hopefully, B.o.B proves that he has a bigger Hip Hop following with this album. If J. Cole can debut with 200k+ with no hit, then he should do it with a hit, but I feel that his Hip Hop following isn't very strong, or at least not as strong as his pop following.

How much is "The Adventures" at right now? And if not mistaken it went #1 right?
