From HITS:
IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMA$: You want big numbers? We got big numbers. Thanks to the pre-Xmas shopping frenzy, it’s the same as it ever was (to borrow David Byrne’s line), albeit for one week only—so enjoy it while it lasts. Here’s what we’re projecting as we head into the big weekend:
1. Josh Groban (Reprise), 700-725k
2. Mary J. Blige (Geffen), 600-625k (debut)
3. Alicia Keys (J/RMG), 450-475k
4. The Eagles (ERC), 325-350k
5. Hannah Montana 2 (Disney), 275-300k
6. Now 26 (EMM), 225-250k
7. High School Musical 2 (Disney), 200-225k
8. Carrie Underwood (Arista/RMG), 200-225k
9. Taylor Swift (Big Machine), 180-190k
10. Rascal Flatts (Lyric Street/Disney) 170-180k
11. Mannheim Steamroller (AG), 160-170k
12. Chris Brown (Jive/ZLG),160-170k
13. Colbie Caillat (Universal Republic), 160-170k
14. Jaheim (Atlantic), 150-160k (debut)
15. Led Zeppelin (Atlantic), 150-160k
16. Lupe Fiasco (Atlantic), 140-150k (debut)
In an active week like this one, things can change dramatically, of course. But if this heat holds up, we’ll be looking at more triple-digit totals than we’ve seen since President Kerry took office and withdrew our troops from Iraq back in 2005. Amen. (12/21a)
