Bruno Mars vs. Taylor Swift for No. 1 on Billboard 200 Chart
BY KEITH CAULFIELD, L.A.
DECEMBER 17, 2012 | 1:40PM EST
After a surprisingly robust weekend of sales for BRUNO MARS' new
album "Unorthodox Jukebox," it is now in the hunt for a No. 1 debut
on the BILLBOARD 200 chart.
LAST WEDNESDAY, it looked like the Atlantic Records album was
on course to sell about 140,000 to 150,000 by the end of the
tracking week on Sunday, Dec. 16. However, the set defied those
industry projections. Thanks to holiday shoppers out in force over
the weekend, label sources say it ultimately sold somewhere in the
range of 180,000 to 190,000.
Bruno Mars, 'Unorthodox Jukebox':
That now puts it in contention for No. 1, where it was thought
Taylor Swift**'s "Red" was going to rule for a fifth non-consecutive
week. Her album is projected to move** about 185,000 to 200,000.
We'll know their official Nielsen SoundScan sales figures on the
morning of Wednesday, Dec. 19, when the new Billboard 200
chart's top 10 will be revealed.
If Bruno tops the list, it will be his first No. 1 album. His debut effort,
2010's "Doo-Wops & Hooligans," opened at its peak -- No. 3 --
selling 56,000 in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

I'm not too fussed about whether or not it will go #1 but 180 -190k is great, i think.

I see you, classic!
Glad to see Bruno sales increased, though Tay stomped out the #1 fire.  I hope he'll be stable and grab it in January/February.
What is Rihanna doing?
