Springsteen to open at #1 with 345-375k with Magic - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

BOSS IS BOSS IN CHART RACE:

Bruce Springsteen’s Magic will reign atop Tuesday’s HITS Top 50 Albums chart, one of what could be up to seven newcomers in the Top 10. The Boss’ ballyhooed latest, sporting a five-star Rolling Stone review and pre-Grammy buzz, will sell between 345-355k, with an outside shot at 360k depending on weekend traffic.

Lyric Street’s Rascal Flatts, last week’s #1, fall to #2 with close to 200k, followed by yet another debut in Atlantic’s Matchbox Twenty greatest hits plus six new songs set at #3 set to score between 125-130k.

Interscope Dirty South rapper Soulja Boy will crack the six-figure mark with between 115-120k for his first week, good for #4, followed very closely by Capitol’s R&B “Bed” man J. Holiday at #5 with 105-110k.

Geffen diva Keyshia Cole follows up last week’s #2 bow with 105-110k at #6, while Roc-A-Fella/IDJ’s Kanye West continues strong for a possible 100k week, placing him #7.

Atlantic’s Virginia soul crooner Trey Songz is up next, bowing at #8, selling from 90-95k, while Arista’s Annie Lennox debuts Top 10 with 75-80k. Hidden Beach’s Jill Scott, WB’s Faith Hill in her first week and Disney’s perennial High School Musical 2 battle it out for #10, all between 70-75k. (10/5p)

As a huge Springsteen fan I am happy to see Magic at the top of the charts. I''ve played the CD three times already, and I'm not sure I would say that it is one of his best, but there are still a number of songs on it that I love. It's funny, but back in the late 1990's people were writing Bruce off as a has-been. It seem since the release of The Rising five years ago, he's been selling a lot of albums again.

I listened to Magic over the weekend, and it's very good.

Pick it up if you get the chance. Or download it or whatever you kids do these days.

I'm glad to see it hit #1, although that comes as no surprise. I really like the album a lot, probably more than The Rising.
