HITS:

YOUR WEAKEND TOP 10 (OR 15) CHART PREVIEW: A shitload of debuts (figuratively speaking) will infiltrate the top of next week’s chart. Outside the holiday months of November and December, next week could mark the first time in nearly two years when each of the Top 15 sells more than 40k. Next Tuesday they may well be popping the champagne corks at Hollywood, in Disney’s first hat trick since they sold the Mighty Ducks. Congrats to topper Peter Paterno… Scratch that—we just learned Peter’s no longer at the label… Anyhoo, here’s what we’re looking at—and while we’re at it, here’s looking at you, kid....

* Paramore (Fueled by Ramen) 185-195k

* Mariah Carey (Island/IDJ) 160-170k

* Barbra Streisand (Columbia) 150-160k

* Breaking Benjamin (Hollywood) 140-150k

* Alice in Chains (Virgin) 130-140k

Jay-Z (Roc Nation) 80-85k

* Miranda Lambert (Columbia Nashville) 70-75k

* Madonna (Warner Bros.) 65-70k

Pearl Jam (Monkeywrench) 65-70k

* AFI (Interscope) 55-60k

* Selena Gomez & the Scene (Hollywood) 55-60k

Whitney Houston (Arista/RMG) 45-50k

Miley Cyrus (Hollywood) 40-45k

* Dethklok (Williams Street) 40-45k

Harry Connick Jr. (Columbia) 40-45k

* Denotes debut

You may now return to debating a possible re-fi with your spouse. (10/2p)

It's looking better now guys keep the faith!

We all knew already for days that Madonna will make the Top 10 and sell around 65K - 70K.

Don't have a cow! (you just might make the COW go #1 with all the negativity!! hehe)

Anyone visit any Lamb boards? Are they slitting their wrists? :demonic:

Evidently I found out being on the Twilight soundtrack is what gave Paramore their push into the mainstream, so I guess we can thank that silly movie and wannabe fat goth chicks everywhere for this! :clap:

"Celebration" making the Top 10 with minimal promotion(at least in the first half of last week): good result for Madonna!

Mariah debuting at a "lowly" #3, despite all the over the top promotion & U.S radio relentlessly pimping her crap music: LMFAO! :lmao:

I tell ya, "Pariah" is headed for a colossal flop!

I'm sure this is the last time for Mariah. Her single got 85 million audience impressions, it struggled to sell 1 million and her album is opening with Janet sized flop sales. They rushed this album out because they knew next year it would even sell less, killing any anticipation and demand outside her core fanbase. Mariah constantly talks about starting a family now so I can see her taking 1 or 2 years off and by then CD sales won't even be counted, so I'm not even sure if she'll ever have a comeback, but probably will become a Vegas staple, singing "Hero" and "We Belong Together" night after night till the end of time...

The difference between Hits & Soundscan figures are around 10K-15K.

To secure a Billboard #1, Paramore must sell 20K or more.

I betting on Paramore will top both Hits & Billboard Chart.
