Hits 1/29 Gary Allan 80-90K

[Deleted]

YOUR ONE-DAYS: Nashville cat Gary Allan will score his first #1 album next week, a triumph for Mike Dungan's MCA Nashville. We congratulate Gary, Mike and their team, and hope our readers will join us in commemorating this landmark with an extra plug of chaw. Here are this week's key debuts:

Gary Allan (MCA Nashville) 80-90k
2013 Grammy Nominees (Capitol) 35-40k
Randy Houser (Stoney Creek) 24-27k
12/12/12: Concert for Sandy Relief (Columbia) 17-20k (physical release)

In other news, Manti Te'o's real ex-girlfriend told People the Notre Dame star was the victim of a hoax, but also revealed that she was really a 57-year-old male trucker from Tallahasse. (1/23p)

[Ballroom Blitzed]

How many albums are likely to be number one for more than a fortnight this year? There were three last year, three the year before, and six the year before that.

[Deleted]

Albums are just like movies, everything is geared towards a big opening week (or in the case of January, as big as possible)

More often than not, #1 is only for a week


If things weren't so front loaded, more albums could last longer at the top than just the handful that do now.

[ListenToItTwice]

^It would also be nice if the big releases weren't so concentrated in Q4

[Enigma.]

Very good for Gary Allan but he has a current hit too.

[Queen of Insomnia.]

YOUR MID-WEEK ROUNDUP: Gary Allan will score his first-ever #1 album next week (meaning the BBQ is on MCA Nashville chief Mike Dungan). The Lumineers, following their SNL appearance, see a nice increase to land at #2. Their self-titled Dualtone release is approaching 900k to date, which would merit an admiring "Ho Hey" even if they weren't on an indie label. Here's how things look headed into the weekend.

* Gary Allan (MCA Nashville) 90-100k
Lumineers (Dualtone) 55-60k
Pitch Perfect (UMe) 40-45k
A$AP Rocky (RCA) 35-40k
* 2013 Grammy Nominees (Capitol) 35-40k
Bruno Mars (Atlantic) 35-40k
Kidz Bop 23 (Razor & Tie) 35-40k
Taylor Swift (Big Machine) 30-35k
Les Misérables (Republic) 30-35k
Mumford & Sons (Glassnote) 25-30k
* Randy Houser (Stoney Creek) 21-24k
Imagine Dragons (Interscope) 21-24k
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (Macklemore) 18-21k
Phillip Phillips (19/Interscope) 18-21k
One Direction (Syco/Columbia) 17-20k
Alicia Keys (RCA) 17-20k
P!nk (RCA) 17-20k
Florida Georgia Line (Republic Nashville) 17-20k

* Debuts

[Push The Button]

Pitch Perfect is going to outsell Les Miserables.

This time last year, who could have seen THAT happening?

Probably not in the long run... Pitch Perfect's selling really consistently right now, but once that dies down, there's nothing to keep it going. Les Mis still has the rest of its theatrical run to sell, plus the Oscar boost and its eventual DVD release.

Next week, if these predictions hold, the score will be Pitch Perfect - 399k to Les Miserables - 391k.

[forg]

Pitch Perfect's performance is suprising, I thought it would only last for a week or two thanks to the DVD release/discount hype but it's so consistent

Wow, Gary blew past those predictions! :O

[renfield75]

So glad to see Gary finally get a #1 album on the Billboard 200, and with a six figure debut in January no less! I remember being happy to see his 2001 album "Alright Guy" debut at no. 39, so for him to finally reach the summit is amazing. Long overdue for an often overlooked artist.

What's in the pipeline after that? Could he be the first new multi-week number one of the year?

^Thanks. People still don't know about that thread.

Tim McGraw/Josh Groban are out Feb. 6.

Stupid. One album should have ben held until Feb. 13 so both men could have #1 debuts.

[areyoureadytojump]

Justin's last Acoustic album debuted at #7 with 115k in late November.
