Eric Clapton, Shawn Mendes Aiming for Top Five Debuts on Billboard 200

 

Billboard (August 1st, 2014):

 

"Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Eric Clapton is aiming for his 14th top 10 album on the Billboard 200, as The Breeze: An Appreciation of JJ Cale, should debut in the top five of the chart next week. Industry sources suggest the star-studded tribute set will sell around 50,000 copies by the end of the tracking week on Sunday, Aug. 3.

 

One of the guests on Clapton’s album, Tom Petty, looks like he’ll block Clapton from the top slot on the Billboard 200. Petty’s own new album with his band the Heartbreakers, Hypnotic Eye, is set to debut at No. 1 next week with around 100,000 sold.

 

Also on tap for top 10 debut next week is Shawn Mendes' self-titled debut EP, which might move around 45,000. Rock band Theory Of a Deadman could also nab its second top 10 album, as Savages could sell around 25,000 in its debut frame."

5SOS look like they'll drop around less than 80%, but more than 70%. Aka, a pretty standard fall. Not awful!

 

Very impressive for Shawn :kink:

I'm astonished that Frozen is still selling that well! Great to see though.

Isn't Frozen a bit too happy/adorable for your tastes? :o

Surprisingly not! It's not the usual Disney GLOOPFEST, it's got light and shade and even the ''goodies'' aren't just bland, morally upright cutouts. Plus the music is amaze, I can't resist me a good old BELTATHON *.*
