HDD – Album Sales Prediction : May 28-June 3

With 54.02% reporting in, John Mayer is set to top the charts for a second week. Adele is, as usual, haunting the top 3. She is currently in 2nd, waiting to pounce. Now 42, a collection of recent hits including Kelly Clarkson’s “Stronger” and “One Direction’s “What Makes You Beautiful”, plods on at 3rd. Right behind, the boy band that Simon a la Dr. Frankenstein constructed out of the parts left over from an X-Factor audition, One Direction, is in 4th. Luke Bryan soldiers on in 6th. Lionel revived a bunch of dead songs from the 80s and they continue to eat up the sales like zombies at a brain buffet (7th). Eric Church and Nicki Minaj make it 8th/9th. Regina Spektor has the top debut of the week in 10th.

The top selling Idol this week is Carrie Underwood. Her “Blown Away” is blowing away the sales in 5th and she looks to have topped Gold sales this week (486K last week). This is her 4th studio album. Adam Lambert is the next solo Idol and he is at 16 with his second album. Kelly’s solo album is at 25 and she makes appearances on Now 42 in 3rd and Jason Aldean’s album in 11th. Haley Reinhart’s debut album is at 33 and Kris Allen’s “Thank You Camellia” is at 47. Katharine McPhee is featured on the Smash cast album at 39.

X-Factor’s Rebecca Fergusen debuts at 27 and the latest Glee album is 20th.
