Jack Johnson Dominates Taio Cruz, Clay Aiken in Album Sales Race

Though looking to be down from his last studio release, Jack Johnson’s “To the Sea” will have no trouble dominating the album sales charts for this week.

Based on one day sales extensions from Hits Daily Double, the latest from Johnson should be good for around 240-260,000 copies solid this week. No holdover or fellow new release will contend with that figure.

Elsewhere, Taio Cruz’s “Rokstarr” serves as the latest album to prove that mainstream radio success does not correlate with album sales performance. Despite featuring his smash hit “Break Your Heart,” the album might not even cross the 30,000 barrier in its first week, with 22-27,000 standing as the current forecast.

Clay Aiken’s new “Tried & True” is tracking for just shy of 20,000.
