PEAS, GLEE HAVE "THE TIME”
FOR TOP DEBUT

Two New Releases Are Only Six-Figure Bows

December 1, 2010
It’ll be a week to mind your Peas and Glees.

Although it’s beginning to feel a lot like a Black Friday hangover.

The Black Eyed Peas’ Interscope album, The Beginning and Columbia’s Glee Cast Vol. 4 appear to be the top debuts on next week’s chart, based on one-day sales figures from those retailers who haven’t sold out their supply of $198 42” LG flat-screen TVs. Both appear set to bow in the 110-125k range, which won’t be enough to unseat whoever sits at #1 next week.

That could be Miss Kris Kringle herself, Susan Boyle, if her Gift keeps on giving in the 225k-250k range, which should be enough to beat the likes of Kanye West and Nicki Minaj in their second week.

Other Top 50 debuts should be registered by J/RMG’s Jazmine Sullivan (55-60k), Def Jam/IDJ’s Christette Michele (40-45k) and Reprise’s AC stalwart Eric Benet (30-35k).

Curb Country veteran Tim McGraw’s Number One Hits, Geffen’s El DeBarge comeback and Def Jam’s Ron Isley are all expected to sell in the 18-22k area.

The market was up 26% vs. last week, down 5% vs. same week last year and still down 13% year to date. You may now return to getting full-body scanned by the TSA.

Pretty slow week. As much as they annoy me, I hope Glee outsells the BEP

[Wayne]

Id actually argue that these numbers are disastrous for the BEP's! Even if they aren't surprising. 120k at this time would almost certainly be 80k or less in January, so this is bad

Happy with MC's #'s!

I don't think anyone would argue otherwise.:baby:

[Wayne]

Yeah, Mariah's #'s are pleasing! She'll be on about 220k if she meets the top end of her prediction, nearly halfway to Gold!

[Wayne]

Wow at Mariah :o

[HeatSeeker]

Wow at Mariah :o

I was thinking yesterday I'd be OK with even 50K this week, so you bet I was excited when I saw her #'s :cheer: Bigger than her debut week. I'm scared it's gonna fall this week though, I hope it doesn't =@

[Wayne]

If Billboard have her on 60k-ish, she'll be at a total of around 230k, for five weeks! What gets me, is this:

Boccelli is doing ridiculously well!

[HeatSeeker]

Yeah, almost all Xmas albums had increases this week
