Hey, we know you’re busy, what with the NBA Playoffs and the NFL Draft, but we wanted to point out a couple of noteworthy aspects to this week’s competition. Columbia has a shot at two of the top three finishers, thanks to the power of Glee (whose album of Madonna covers will debut much higher than Madge’s own recent CD/DVD release, and the continuing strength of mighty AC/DC in week two. We may also see a pair of six-figure totals, as Lady A picks up increased momentum behind Monday night’s ACMs. Oh, and one other thing: the latest episode of Glee reairs tonight, to the delight of those who missed the ending of the show Wednesday night thanks to Idol going long. Finally, ffoot traffic is expected to be high behind the DVD release of Avatar. And now, without further ado…

Glee Cast, The Power of Madonna (Columbia) 100-120k
Lady Antebellum (Capitol Nashville/EMI) 90-100k
AC/DC (Columbia) 70-80k
Justin Bieber, My World 2.0 (Island/IDJ) 70-80k
Usher (LaFace/JLG) 50-55k
Now 33 (Capitol/EMI) 35-40k
Zac Brown Band (Atlantic) 30-35k
Sevendust (Asylum) 30-35k
Lady Gaga, The Fame (Interscope) 28-32k
Miranda Lambert (Columbia Nashville) 28-32k
Circa Survive (Atlantic) 28-32k
Ke$ha (RCA/RMG) 25-28k
Jimmy Buffett (Mailboat) 25-28k
Monica (J/RMG) 22-25k
Justin Bieber, My World (Island/IDJ) 22-25k

You may now return to memorizing the spelling of Ndamukomg Suh. (4/23a)

OMG @ Miranda! If sales increased more, she could get a new peak! Unlikely though, but still. Amazing numbers!

Go Miranda!

[Glove Slap]

Wow @ Lady A! At this rate it looks to cross 2m before June, very impressive for a Q1 release in 2010.

[HolidayGuy]

AC/DC in week two? Is this not the Iron Man 2 soundtrack's first week?

[areyoureadytojump]

^It's an error.

[singingrulebritannia]

So Congratulations seriously dropped out of the top 15 in its second week? And that's a drop of at least 50k. *sigh*

[Mark]

Ke$ha's still holding steady!

[jj99$ - - LeLe]

go Ke$ha an gaga

[metalfan87]

SEVENDUST IN THE TOP 10!!! WHOOO!!!

[Deleted]

Impressing numbers for ZBB. They've been selling consistently since last year...

[Tanisha Thomas.]

Are ZBB getting a boost from the awards or is it a random boost? Either way, ZBB are living up to their BNA title.

[asg4]

I have a feeling lady A will be #1

[Choco]

Well, they have a really solid shot to go #1 again, but all the predictions gave Glee the edge. They have been wrong in the past, but it's not an usual occurrence. Anyways, Lady A. is clearly going to sell more than Glee in the long run, so it's good for everyone.

[Deleted]

Wow! Awesome gains for Lady A and Miranda! Both won big and had great performances. Surprised Taylor and Carrie didn't get a bigger bump too.
Lovely to see Ke$ha still holding on.

[jgizzle89]

so now that we know what the numbers will look like this week, what are everyone's thoughts about B.o.B's numbers next week? im hoping for 200k, but that's probably a little high. Cudi got 104k though and that was months after 'Day N Night' peaked

[carrieidol1]

I wouldn't be suprised to see Carrie Underwood sneak up into the top 20 as well.

Agree, she had two majour television performances in the past week, so I could easily see a very high spike in sales.

I think 150k is reasonable - Cudi's hit was months old whereas B.o.B's is right now, plus he has "Airplanes".

[HolidayGuy]

I gather iTunes sales probably have yet to be factored in?

[areyoureadytojump]

^I think the 73k might be from iTunes.

[HolidayGuy]

^I only say that, because I would have thought Celebration would sell at least 1,676 from iTunes in the past week. But who knows. :)

But AC/DC wasn't available digitally yet had a decent total in that update.

[nicole]

Well final numbers will be fun to see for both Glee and Ac/DC

[HolidayGuy]

HITS' reported percentages lately have been odder than usual- for instance, saying 50-something percent and then the final numbers being exact to those totals. Get with it, HITS.

[Eloqueen™]

Wow, no Fearless in the top 50 this week (even if it is only 37% in). I'm very surprised by that.
