Chris Brown Set for Sixth Straight Top 10 Album

 

Billboard (September 19th, 2014):

 

Chris Brown is on the verge of earning his sixth consecutive top 10 album on the Billboard 200 chart -- his entire output of releases. The artist's new X, which was released Sept. 16 on RCA Records, could debut in the No. 2 slot on the next Billboard 200 chart. Industry forecasters suggest the album could sell around 130,000 to 140,000 copies in the week ending Sept. 21.

 

Blocking Brown from the top slot will likely be Barbra Streisand's new duets album, Partners. The all-star collaborative set could start with 175,000 -- a better start than forecast earlier in the week. If Partners debuts at No. 1, Streisand will earn her 10th No. 1 album and become the first act with No. 1s in each of the last six decades ('60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s and '10s).

 

Streisand and Brown's latest albums lead a starry release week, where they join new efforts from Tim McGraw, George Strait, Train and Slash. McGraw's Sundown Heaven Town could enter at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 (and No. 1 on Top Country Albums) with around 70,000, while Strait's live album, The Cowboy Rides Away: Live From AT&T Stadium, might sell 50,000.

 

Train's Bulletproof Picasso might bow with 45,000, and Slash's World on Fire, featuring Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators, may start with 25,000."
