Luke is doing extremely well, I can't belive Drunk on You catapaulted that kind of success for his album. It's well deserved though.

Carrie keeps falling, I really hope Blown Away the single helps boost sales.

Who knew wide awake would help teenage dreams sales so much. Coldplay holding on good but I'm still dissapoonted with Carrie

And she also has Olympics promo I think.

You do know that maroon 5 and linkin park are releasing this week right? She's not getting back in top 5 this week and probably not at all, sadly.

Linkin Park should debut on top next week with a total that will come close to and may exceed the first week of its last album, A Thousand Suns, which opened with 241k in Sept. 2010. This will also give WEA its first #1 album of 2012. Hot on the heels, but not quite within striking distance at midweek, is Maroon 5, which will also best the 142k first week of its last album, Hands All Over, also from Sept. 2010. Here's how it looks at midweek:

*Linkin Park (Warner Bros.) 230-250k
*Maroon 5 (A&M/Octone) 200-220k
Justin Believe (Island/IDJ) 130-140k|
*MMG Presents, Vol. 2 (Maybach Music Group) 80-90k
Kenny Chesney (Blue Chair/Columbia Nashville) 65-70k
*R. Kelly (RCA) 63-68k
Adele (XL/Columbia) 40-45k
One Direction (Syco/Columbia) 37-42k
Usher (RCA) 35-40k
Rock of Ages (WaterTower) 30-35k
Fiona Apple (Epic) 24-27k
*Offspring (Columbia) 21-24k
Luke Bryan (Capitol Nashville/EMI) 20-23k
Let It Shine (Walt Disney) 17-20k
Now 42 (Capitol/EMI) 17-20k
Smashing Pumpkins (Martha's Music/ELS) 17-20k
*Pentatonix (Madison Gate) 17-20k
Alan Jackson (Capitol Nashville/EMI) 17-20k

*Debuts (6/28p)

Justin Bieber's second week is gonna be bigger than Usher's first week. It held up better than I thought it would. He's definitely selling at least a million in the US.

Great numbers for Linkin Park & Maroon 5. Especially M5, that opening is at least a 40% improvement over HAO's opening (which was 142K if I remember correctly).

Linkin Park's prediction went up? The promo helped.

What is the next major release?

@Phoenix83 I'm sure Adele will pull at least a few more weeks in the top five.

[Cap10Planet]

I forgot Chris was releasing next week. I predict his album will flop.

[ClashAndBurn]

Maroon 5's prediction went up as well. It was 190K yesterday.

I think that Overexposed will sell more its second week. Hopefully, they can sell enough to get number one, because I don't think Chris will sell enough to even get around Justin.

The other option is to have Justin rebound and go back to number one, and I don't really want that...

Wait, Rick Ross has surprisingly good first weeks, doesn't he? What are the predictions for him?

EDIT: Also, don't Zac Brown Band have a good country following?

[MusicTalker]

I'm predicting 90-100K for Fortune & will be shocked if he does any higher. I'm not getting a feeling of any hype from the public. I haven't heard people mention his entire album can be listened to on iTunes yet.

Yes ZBB has a very strong country following. I think they'll pull off about what Chesney did during his 1st week. Chris Brown has a very dedicated fanbase as well so I think he'll easily sell enough to be #1 when his album comes out.
So the next 3 weeks will be Linkin Park, Chris Brown and than ZBB. I really hope my prediction for ZBB is right

[iamvladd]

I don't feel like doing the math. What % drop will Bieber have, based on those predictions?

And I don't think Fortune will hit 200K, saying the least.

[Jennifer]

As expected, Bieber isn't having the longevity that his previous releases had.

That's around a 65% drop I believe.

About a 62 - 65% drop.

Oh ok. Were the 2nd week drops on his other albums similar to this?

I'm not sure about his remix album, movie soundtrack or EP, but My World 2.0 actually increased in sales, but that could be thanks to Easter.

Hmm, the tour should keep the sales steady then. I wonder if he has anymore promo planned. Last week he was everywhere, even 106 tryna get them Urban sales. I saw the album at Hot Topic today.
