Weakend Chart Preview

Eleven titles will likely debut in next week's Top 15. In what looks like the kick-off to the holiday season, nine of the Top 10 titles will finish the week with a total north of 100k. For the same week last year, ending 11/22, only six titles sold in the six digits with a couple just shy of hitting that mark. Overall volume in the Top 15 could be up by as much as 300k vs. last year. Here's how it looks as we head into the last weekend before Thanksgiving.

Susan Boyle (Columbia) 300-325k
