Usher's album comes out May 27th.

Oh I see, thanks. Then I think we should expect a second single before the album is released?

Did you expect Kylie to STAY ON the chart?

LMAO. Not really.

Apparently Usher, Fergie, and Rihanna are going at it on the 27th. Most likely Usher will win since its a new release.

Usher will win, well since the other 2 are re-releases, Rihanna will not beat Fergie obviously. I dont even see Rihanna being in the Top 3 when this comes...

Hey, new here. Found out about this from Box Office Mojo.

If you don't mind my asking, where do these sales figures come from? Is there a site or a part of this site where you can pull up sales figures on artists and albums?

[M Z N A]

WEAKEND SALES FORECAST: It’s all about Island/IDJ’s Mariah Carey this week, as she notches her best-ever first week for L.A., Steve B. and company with a total that looks headed for around 500k, give or take, good enough for #1 by a wide margin over last week’s chart-topping debut by J/Syco’s Leona Lewis, who should do between 95-100k. Disney’s Hannah Montana Best of Both Worlds is next with 40-45k, the same projected total as Warner Bros. Nashville act Lady Antebellum’s bow. SBMG/ Commercial Music Group’s Now 27 and MCA Nashville’s George Strait follow at around 40k, trailed by Razor & Tie’s Alvin and the Chipmunks soundtrack (32k) and Big Machine/Universal Republic CMT winner Taylor Swift (28-30k), with WB’s R.E.M., Island/IDJ’s Rick Ross and WB Nashville’s James Otto all battling it out for the Top 10 at about 26-28k apiece.

They post weekly estimates for the Top 50 Albums in the United States.

The Top 200 comes from Billboard.

Thanks!

I'm a chart freak, so I know what I'll be doing the rest of the evening...

LMAO @ people who thought Hannah Shitana would be competition for Mariah.
