Clear at this point is the fact the “Pitch Perfect 2” soundtrack will win the weekly album sales race.<\/p>\n

Unclear is how many albums it will sell during the official May 11-17 tracking week.<\/p>\n

According to Hits Daily Double, the official film soundtrack is currently on track to move 60-65,000 first-week copies. If movie drives a hotter than anticipated reaction upon release this weekend, it could easily top that forecast.<\/p>\n

Even a failure to do so would doubtfully put the album’s sales race victory in jeopardy. Mumford & Sons’ “Wilder Mind,” which is expected to claim the runner-up position, is on track to move a decidedly lesser 45-49,000 during the official tracking week.<\/p>\n

Other albums on the map include the “Trust Fall (Side A)” EP (~34-38,000), Josh Groban’s “Stages” (~32-36,000), NOW 54 (~31-35,000) and Zac Brown Band’s “Jekyll + Hyde” (~30-34,000).<\/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":[183,1047,206],"tags":[4218,4058,119,4121,4217,1671],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n"Pitch Perfect 2" Soundtrack to Win Album Sales Race; Mumford, Incubus, Josh Groban to Follow<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Clear at this point is the fact the "Pitch Perfect 2" soundtrack will win the weekly album sales race.
