POST-HOLIDAY ONE DAYS: Sony Music's domination of the Top 5 comes to an end next week as holiday titles and new releases drop from the chart like a fat man sliding down a chimney. From very, very early and limited numbers, it appears that Taylor Swift and Eminem, as a result of sale pricing and circular placement, will battle it out for the #1 spot on next week's chart, according to one-day sales reports from those retailers who've shoveled out from all the snow. No estimates of actual totals yet, but we'll get those to you as soon as the Eastern seaboard begins to thaw. From early indications. though,
it appears that UMGD may have the entire Top 5 with Rihanna, Nicki Minaj and Kanye West rounding out slots #3-5. Spoilers, however, in the form of Bruno Mars and Katy Perry, are lurking just below. Stay tuned as more intelligence, and we use that term loosely, is gathered by our crack staff. (12/30a)
