WHITE EARNS HIS STRIPES

Guitar Maestro's Debut Solo Album Headed for His First-Ever #1 Debut

April 25, 2012

The Blunderbuss stops here.
Rock guitar god Jack White's debut solo album on Third Man/Columbia is headed for the top of next week's chart with a sales total projected at between 110-120k for his first-ever #1 bow.

That's based on one-day sales reports from those retailers still conscious after partying over last weekend's impressive Record Store Day sales results. Can we get a vinyl witness?

MCA Nashville Tifton, GA, country singer-songwriter Kip Moore's debut album, Up All Night, is set to bow with a total in the 40-45k range after scoring a Top 10 country single with potential novelty crossover in "Somethin' 'bout a Truck."

Curb country songwriter-turned-performer Lee Brice's sophomore album, Hard 2 Love, his follow-up to 2010's Love Like Crazy, is on target for sales of 37-42k.

Mercury/IDJ's entry into the neo-boy band sweepstakes, U.K.'s The Wanted, arrive with a seven-track EP that includes their megasmash, "Glad You Came," which appears ready to sell 35-40k.

Josh Abbott Band, a country-rock group out of Texas which has been hovering near the top of the iTunes album chart all week, will see sales of 23-27k for Small Town Family Dream, their third release on indie label Pretty Damn Tough.

Finally, world-renowned Dutch DJ Tiesto's Club Life Volume Two Miami, on the Musical Freedom label, looks set to bow in the 12-15k range.

That would be negative sales. I wouldn't be surprised :oops:

37-42k is poor for The Wanted considering One Direction sold 176k copies of their album although they haven't had a hit by the time of release and are more boyish, while The Wanted is a more grown up boygroup...

it is not their full album
but i think it is very difficult for them to have 1 direction album type success

by **Timmy94** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 2:17 pm

But Justin Bieber's My World EP also debuted with 137k...

justin bieber fan following is stronger than both ist erection(One Direction) and the wanted
he is in different league and hype around him was way more
crazy girls will buy his albums in millions and even 1 direction fan base is stronger than the wanted in us

Max George alone is hotter than all the pubescent One Direction kids alone :lol:

Of course, teen girls are threatened by anything that resembles masculinity. :lol:

Since Timmy's ascension to this forum, I have tried REPEATEDLY to explain there's not always a rhyme or reason to sales. Big single doesn't mean hype. Hype doesn't mean big album sales. Young doesn't mean download only. Old doesn't mean sales will be big!

It just is what it is!

Even so, the sales are not poor! They're pretty good actually!

@danbarj i agree with u

Sony Music returns to the top of the chart next week after being unseated by Universal Music for the past five weeks. The first third of 2012 has been dominated by both music groups during the 17-week span with Columbia Records, specifically, holding down the lead for 12 of those weeks. Columbia, which may have three in this week's Top 5, will score a 13th week at the top as Jack White debuts #1, the first ever for the guitar god, even as a member of White Stripes. For now at least, it looks as though Sony could remain in the pole position for a little longer as Carrie Underwood (19/RCA) is set to debut on top in two weeks and will likely hold there for a few charts. Here's how it looks headed into the weekend:

*Jack White (Third Man/Columbia) 120-130k
Adele (XL/Columbia) 85-90k
Lionel Richie (Mercury Nashville) 80-85k
One Direction (Syco/Columbia) 40-45k
Nicki Minaj (YM/CM/Universal Republic) 35-40k
*Lee Brice (Curb) 35-40k
Jason Mraz (Atlantic) 35-40k
*Kip Moore (MCA Nashville) 35-40k
Gotye (Fairfax/Universal Republic) 30-35k
*The Wanted (Mercury/IDJ) 30-35k
The Black Keys (Nonesuch) 27-30k
Train (Columbia) 27-30k
Luke Bryan (Capitol Nashville/EMI) 24-27k
*Josh Abbott Band (Pretty Damn Tough) 21-24k
Bonnie Raitt (Redwing) 18-21k
Think Like a Man (Epic) 17-20k
