The top of next week's chart will be dominated by Sony Music with as many as seven titles in the Top 10. Chris Brown will lead the way with debuts by Jennifer Hudson, The Strokes and Kirk Franklin also on tap. Adele, this week's chart topper, could possibly remain in the Top 5. However, the spoiler to an all-Sony Top 5 could come from Universal Music as they are slated to release a compilation album tomorrow (3/25) to benefit the earthquake- and tsunami-ravaged Japan. The album will be digital only, at least for now, and will feature dozens of tracks from all the major music groups. Rihanna, Justin Bieber and possibly Lady GaGa have all contributed tracks. Where this will land on the chart won't be known until Monday morning. Overall, seven of the Top 15 may be new entries. Here's how it looks headed into the weekend:

*Chris Brown (Jive/JLG) 270-280k
*Jennifer Hudson (Arista/RMG) 160-170k
*The Strokes (RCA/RMG) 90-95k
Adele (XL/Columbia) 85-90k
*Kirk Franklin (Gospocentric/JLG) 85-90k
*Panic at the Disco (Decaydance/FBR/Atlantic) 50-55k
Mumford & Sons (Glassnote) 35-40k
*Bobby V (Capitol/EMI) 35-40k
P!nk (LaFace/JLG) 28-32k
Lupe Fiasco (Atlantic) 25-28k
Marsha Ambrosius (J/RMG) 25-28k
Now 37 (Capitol/EMI) 25-28k
*Yellowcard (Hopeless) 25-28k
*Green Day (Reprise) 25-28k
Glee Cast Vol. 5 (Columbia) 24-27k
Justin Bieber Never Say Never (Island/IDJ) 24-27k
Rise Against (Geffen) 24-27k
Rihanna (Def Jam/IDJ) 24-27k

The projections keep going up or down, which means they don't know what will happen , and I still don't understand why they are done so early, anything can change . I'll wait for the official numbers from soundscan ...

LOL, the projections are only going up. And it happens to many artists as HITS & Billboard (which actually has him predicted up to 300k) continue to receive daily sales reports. For example, Adele's 1st prediction was ~250-275k and then they changed it to 300k+ and she ended up selling 350k+. Same thing happened with Taylor Swift.

Sales numbers may change but I think we can conclude that C. Brown will be #1 (), Jennifer #2.

[nicsala]

I think the Japan album will crack 200k

Just like you were probably sure he'd never have another top 10 hit, never have a number 1 album at all and never sell more records this week than he did all of last year. You have presseditis boo.

More pressed than a pair of dress pants...

His naked pictures, hair coloring, and smashing windows helped greatly, maybe other male r&b artists should try that, so they can sale close to 300,000 copies the first week.

I just think he has a great( although very delusional) group of fans, who brought the album this time. Also, please don't be fooled by record sales boo boo, they do not mean the album/music is GREAT..

[chi-town_kidd]

The music is GREAT though. You're #pressed & will remain #pressed as this era continues to be successful.
