Posted March 14, 200619 yr JUVENILE’S REALITY CHECK’S IN AT #1 Rapper’s Atlantic Debut Will Top 170k, Blunt Takes Oprah Power to #2, Matisyahu, David Gilmour, Scarface To Bow Top 10 March 10, 2006 New Orleans rapper Juvenile looks headed for #1 on this Tuesday’s chart, thanks to his Atlantic Records debut Reality Check, which appears on target for 160-170k in first-week sales. The album includes the single, “What’s Happening,†a bitter indictment of the government’s relief efforts in his hometown after Hurricane Katrina. Juvenile signed with Atlantic after a dispute with his previous label, Cash Money. He is one of four debuts slated to hit next week’s Top 50, including Or Music/Epic’s Matisyahu, Columbia’s Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour and Koch Records’ Scarface. The big news this week, though, is Custard/Atlantic’s James Blunt, who proves singing “You’re Beautiful†to the millions of housewives who watch Oprah everyday is good business, as his sales total swells to 135-145k, good enough for #2. Walt Disney Records’ High School Musical remains a cottage industry for the House of Mouse, remaining steady at 125-130k, placing it in a strong #3. Hasidic rapper Matisyahu’s debut studio album, Youth, continues the momentum of the gold Live at Stubb’s collection, parlaying #1 iTunes album downloads into an impressive 100-110k estimated total for the week and #4 on the chart. Last week’s chart-topper, Def Jam/IDJ’s Ne-Yo, drops to a still-potent 100-110k for #5, while Floyd guitarist Gilmour’s solo On an Island nabs an impressive 90-95k, good enough for #6. Holdovers Arista/RMG’s Carrie Underwood (80-85k), Island/UME’s Johnny Cash compilation (65-70k) and Geffen’s Mary J. Blige (60-65k) remain ensconced, while former Geto Boy Scarface’s 50-55k would seem good enough to nab him a Top 10 debut for his Koch Records effort, My Homies. Expect chart debuts from Lost Highway's Van Morrison, with a country album, Pay the Devil (30-45k) and EMI's Little Willies, a Norah Jones-led side project looking at between 25-30k. ______________________________________________________________________________ CHART DATE: 03/13/2006 LAST UPDATE: 03/13/2006 09:26:38 NOW IN: 0.56% LW TW artist / album label power index -- 1 MATISYAHU OR/EPIC 2,198 YOUTH -- 2 DAVID GILMOUR COLUMBIA/CRG 1,575 ON AN ISLAND -- 3 VAN MORRISON LOST HIGHWAY/IDJ 831 PAY THE DEVIL -- 4 NEKO CASE ANTI/EPITAPH 684 FOX CONFESSOR BRINGS THE FLOOD 9 5 JAMES BLUNT CUSTARD/ATLANTIC/ATL G 560 BACK TO BEDLAM 45 6 ARCTIC MONKEYS DOMINO 518 WHATEVER PEOPLE SAY I AM,.... 7 7 JACK JOHNSON & FRIENDS...CURIOUS BRUSHFIRE/UNIVERSAL 515 SOUNDTRACK -- 8 MOGWAI MATADOR 481 MR.
