JACK JOHNSON’S CHART SEA CHANGE

June 2, 2010

 

It’s summer and surf’s up, so what better time Jack Johnson to hang 10 on next week’s HITS Album chart. His new Brushfire/Universal Republic album, To the Sea, will easily be the #1 record next week, with a range of 240-260k in sales. His last release, Sleep Through the Static, came out in Feb. 2008, with a first-week total of 375k.

 

Next highest debut will be Mercury/IDJ U.K. hip-pop producer/writer/performer Taio Cruz, who’s already topped the stateside singles chart with “Break Your Heart,” featuring Ludacris. His stateside bow, Rokstarr, is the week’s next highest debut, with a total anywhere from 22-27k.

 

Decca American Idol alum Clay Aiken’s new album, Tried and True, looks on target for 17-20k in first-week sales.
