Big Time Rush! 
Also glad about Jessie J getting a top 10 debut. I still don't think the album is great but I'm liking it more.

ADELE’S ENCORE
U.K. Pop Diva Returns to #1 as Glee’s Warblers Will Be Week’s Top Debut
April 20, 2011
So far 2011 has turned out to be the year of Adele.
The U.K. pop diva’s XL/Columbia album 21 had the year’s best debut and now returns to #1 for the fifth time since coming out in February and selling 350k in its first week.
The Easter shopping week could boost the platinum-plus album to another six-figure week in sales. Meanwhile, her previous album, 19, is also climbing the charts. At this rate, next year’s Grammy race will be over sooner than the New York Mets’ season.
Based on one-day sales from those retailers still in shock at how much vinyl product they can sell, the week’s biggest debut comes from Columbia’s cottage Glee industry with Glee Cast: Glee Presents the Warblers, featuring songs performed by the show’s a cappella choir, led by star-in-the-making Darren Criss. Look for between 75-85k in sales for that.
Next highest debut in a week painfully short of them is Virgin/EMI’s Gorillaz album, The Fall, the physical/digital release of an album previously available to fan club members as a download last Christmas. The entire album was actually recorded on an iPad during an Oct. 2010 performance from the band’s last tour.
The market was up 8% vs. last week, up 16% vs. same week last year and now down just 3% year to date. In a world of bad news, consider that a ray of light.
You may now go back to programming your glowing LED computer-controlled Arcade Fire Coachella balls.

The hits from Fox's "Glee" show no signs of stopping, as the TV series' latest spin-off album, "Glee Presents the Warblers," is aiming to debut near the top of the Billboard 200 chart next week. The new album consists of songs heard and performed on the show by its fictional Dalton Academy male a capella troupe, led by Darren Criss and Chris Colfer.
Industry gurus suggest the title may sell around 70,000 copies by week's end on April 24 (Easter Sunday). Though its first-week figure could be goosed by those looking for Easter basket gifts. (Anything that's family or kid-friendly tends to perform well over the holiday weekend.)
But a No. 1 bow is likely out of reach for the Warblers men; Adele's latest album, "21," will probably return to the top slot for a fifth non-consecutive week.
Aside from the Warblers, the only other new release looking to impact the top 10 next week is Gorillaz's "The Fall." Sales of the set could be curbed by how the album -- recorded completely on an Apple iPad -- was already available for free to the band's fan club members via its website.
Aiming to make a jump into the top 10 is the soundtrack to Disney Channel's "Lemonade Mouth," which bowed this past week at No. 18 with 21,000, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Encore airings of the highly watched TV movie (and Easter-basket-fueled purchases) will likely push its second week sales to a robust figure -- prompting its move to the top 10.

How much has Katy sold thus far? They should think about re-releasing her album.
