YOUR EARLY READS
Two Hit Comps, One From Earth and One From the Outer Reaches of the Galaxy, Vie for #1 Next Week
Now 51 is the top debut this week and has an early edge in the race for next week’s #1 album.
But we’re keeping a close eye on Disney's currently charting Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack, which will bow in the Top 5 very shortly and which has already blown away initial expectations. If sales grow as they could this week, the film's retro-pop Awesome Mix may take the top spot from Sony’s first Now compilation (this time via Legacy) since Now 32debuted at #5 in November of 2009.
Invariably, one or another anthology of established hits will rule, whether it's hits like "Rude"and "Stay With Me" or hits like "Spirit in the Sky" and "Fooled Around and Fell in Love."
Now 51 (NOW) 85-95k
