The Charts Prepare To Yawn At Beck
All the positive mind powers that come with being “clear” couldn’t push Beck to a No. 1 debut on next week’s album charts. With an estimated 80,000 copies sold, Beck’s Danger Mouse-assisted Modern Guilt couldn’t manage to get past the seemingly indestructible sales juggernauts of Coldplay, Lil Wayne, and the Camp Rock soundtrack. Coldplay and Weezy will likely fight it out for the top spot to the very end, with both discs selling somewhere in the 100-125,000 range. Those adorable Jonases and their cohorts will sllde into third with just under 100,000 sold; Kid Rock, who’s still riding “All Summer Long,” surges up another two spots this week to No. 5. The bottom half of the top ten starts with Now 28; Rihanna, G Unit, and the Mamma Mia! soundtrack will have quite the tuneful brawl as they fight for Nos. 7-9. John Mayer should take the final spot in the top ten, although he’s likely too busy brainstorming his next viral video while rolling around in a big pile of money to care. [HITS Daily Double]
