DCNATION Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 GREAT SCOTT! Veteran Neo-Soul Singer Scores First #1 Album of Career, Bon Iver Scores June 22, 2011 Neo-soul star Jill Scott’s fourth studio album, The Light of the Sun—the first for her own Blues Babe album through Warner Bros. after her litigious exit from Hidden Beach—will debut at #1 on next week’s HITS sales chart, with between 125-135k. It’s the first album from Scott since 2007’s The Real Thing: Words and Sounds Vol. 3 and her first to top the sales chart. Her previous high was the #3 ranking for 2004’s Beautifully Human: Words and Sounds Vol. 2. She has since gone on to star in movies for Tyler Perry and had the lead role in HBO’s African-based The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency. Second-best debut of the week goes to Jagjaguar’s indie folk sensation Bon Iver, aka Justin Vernon, with his self-titled sophomore album, the follow-up to 2008’s critically acclaimed breakthrough, For Emma, Forever Ago, which has sold more than 300k. Look for it to sell between 80-90k its first week, according to those music retailers who haven’t reopened as a combination pancake house and strip club. Valory/Big Machine country artist Justin Moore’s Outlaws Like Me, his sophomore effort, drops, and should do in the 60-65k region for the Arkansas native. His self-titled debut placed four songs in the Top 40 on the Country Music charts. Volcano rock parodist supreme “Weird Al” Yankovic’s Alpocalypse, his first since 2006’s Straight Outta Lynwood, which turned into his biggest seller, should bow with 45-50k. The album includes “Perform This Way,” his much-publicized parody of Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way,” for which he was at first refused permission by the superstar’s camp before they relented. J/RMG Latin hip-hop star Pitbull’s Planet Pit, his sixth studio album, featuring collaborations with Dr. Luke and RedOne and cameos by Enrique Iglesias, Ne-Yo, Marc Anthony and Chris Brown, should debut with 40-45k in sales, thanks to hits like “Give Me Everything.” Interscope electro hop party boys LMFAO, featuring Motown founder Berry Gordy’s son DJ Redfoo (Stefan Kendal Gordy) and grandson SkyBlu (Skyler Husten Gordy) return with their sophomore effort, Sorry for Party Rocking, which is looking at first-week sales in the 20-25k range. Vanguard Internet phenom Matt Nathanson’s Modern Love is next up, with a figure of between 18-22k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
