Bob Marley's 'Legend' Finally Heading for Top 10

 

Billboard (September 5th, 2014):

 

"Bob Marley & the Wailers' greatest-hits album Legend is on course for the Billboard 200 chart's top 10 next week. The album, which was released in 1984, has been a steady seller for years, but has never visited the top 10. The sudden surge in sales is owed to discounting of the album in the Google Play store to 99 cents. Normally, the album sells for around $8. Industry sources forecast the album to sell between 20,000 to 24,000 copies in the week ending Sept. 7 -- with the bulk of those sales coming from Google.

 

Marley's Legend album won't be the only exciting news in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 next week, as Maroon 5 are set for their second No. 1 album. The pop band's new V could sell around 150,000 copies, which should easily give them the top slot for the first time since 2007's It Won't Be Soon Before Long.

 

Also aiming for high debuts: Jeezy's Seen It All: The Autobiography, which should start in the No. 2 slot with around 100,000, and Counting Crows' Somewhere Under Wonderland, which should debut in the top 10 with 28,000 or so."
