Forecasts suggest a first-week total in the 170-190,000 range.<\/p>\n<p>The Killers will follow with new studio album &#8220;Battle Born,&#8221; which is pacing for 110-120,000.  Its significant drop-off from the near-200,000 opener for 2008&#8217;s &#8220;Day &#038; Age,&#8221; though unfortunate, is not unexpected due the brand&#8217;s profile reduction in that timespan.  Lead &#8220;Day &#038; Age&#8221; single &#8220;Human&#8221; was the only hit from that album, and &#8220;Battle Born&#8221;&#8216;s first release &#8220;Runaways&#8221; has not taken off too briskly.<\/p>\n<p>Behind Carly Rae Jepsen&#8217;s 35-40,000 total for &#8220;Kiss&#8221; will be Easton Corbin&#8217;s &#8220;All Over the Road&#8221; and Band of Horse&#8217;s &#8220;Mirage Rock,&#8221; both of which should net 25-30,000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[],"tags":[],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>P!nk&#039;s &quot;Truth&quot; Leads Album Sales Race, GOOD, The Killers Follow<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Veteran pop hitmaker P!nk is pacing for what will surprisingly be her first number one album; after an opening day of sales, Hits Daily Double predicts\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2012\/09\/19\/pnks-truth-leads-album-sales-race-good-the-killers-follow\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"P!nk&#039;s &quot;Truth&quot; Leads Album Sales Race, GOOD, The Killers Follow\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Veteran pop hitmaker P!nk is pacing for what will surprisingly be her first number one album; after an opening day of sales, Hits Daily Double predicts\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2012\/09\/19\/pnks-truth-leads-album-sales-race-good-the-killers-follow\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Headline Planet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2012-09-19T19:57:54+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Brian Cantor\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cantorpedia\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@headlineplanet\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2012\/09\/19\/pnks-truth-leads-album-sales-race-good-the-killers-follow\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2012\/09\/19\/pnks-truth-leads-album-sales-race-good-the-killers-follow\/\",\"name\":\"P!nk's \\\"Truth\\\" Leads Album Sales Race, GOOD, The Killers Follow\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2012-09-19T19:57:54+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2012-09-19T19:57:54+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\"},\"description\":\"Veteran pop hitmaker P!nk is pacing for what will surprisingly be her first number one album; after an opening day of sales, Hits Daily Double predicts\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2012\/09\/19\/pnks-truth-leads-album-sales-race-good-the-killers-follow\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/\",\"name\":\"Headline Planet\",\"description\":\"Music News &amp; Charts, TV News &amp; Spoilers\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\",\"name\":\"Brian Cantor\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"Brian Cantor\"},\"description\":\"Brian Cantor is the editor-in-chief for Headline Planet.
