The physical release of Lil Wayne’s “I Am Not a Human Being” will keep the sales flame burning as the album looks to move into first place on next week’s chart.<\/p>\n
Based on one day sales extensions from Hits Daily Double, the Weezy album is projected to add 85-90,000 copies to its sales tally this week, enough for a comfortable first place finish. Two weeks ago, “Human Being” entered the Billboard 200 in second place on a digital-only sales total of 110,000.<\/p>\n
A handful of newcomers are also making chart waves this week. “Charleston, SC 1966,” the latest from Darius Rucker, should net between 65-70,000.<\/p>\n
Nickelodeon act Big Time Rush will be right on the Rucker album’s heels. The aggressive promotional campaign for “B.T.R.” is expected to result in a solid first week tally of 60-65,000.<\/p>\n
Other debuts include The Band Perry’s self-titled release (forecast for 40-45,000), All That Remains’ “For We Are Many” (25-30,000) and Far East Movement’s “Free Wired” (13-18,000). The lattermost’s tally hardly reflects the popularity of the group’s “Like a G6,” the most-downloaded song in America, but that asymmetry between album sales and pop\/hip-hop single performance has been a frequent occurrence in recent years.<\/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":[3],"tags":[],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
