Blake Battling Babs for No. 1 on Billboard 200 Chart

 

Billboard (October 3rd, 2014):

 

"Blake Shelton might nab his second No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart next week with Bringing Back the Sunshine… that is, unless Barbra Streisand’s Partners puts up a fight. Industry sources forecast Shelton’s new album, released on Warner Bros. Nashville Records, to sell between 85,000 and 90,000 copies in the week ending Oct. 5. Streisand’s album, however, might sell 85,000 or more as well.

 

Also on tap for a top 10 debut next week: Lady Antebellum's 747 (with perhaps 70,000), Prince’s Art Official Age (40,000) and The Script’s No Sound Without Silence (25,000). Prince released a second album in addition to Art Official Age on Sept. 30, PlectrumElectrum, with the band 3rdEyeGirl. It may debut outside the top 10 with around 20,000. Also eyeing a start outside the top 10: Tove Lo’s debut album, Queen of the Clouds, with maybe 20,000."

Shocked that Tove Lo is debuting so low :( She had been #5 for the past week on itunes

Tove was never gonna get a spectacular start, 'Habits' isn't THAT big yet and still has time to grow. I would have released the album a month later honestly.

Actually, it's not that bad a start.
