Why should this week be any different than the 18 that came before?
In other words, multi-Grammy nominee Adele’s XL/Columbia album 21, now approaching 6.3 million in the U.S. alone, will spend another week at #1 on next Tuesday’s HITS Album sales chart.
That’s according to one-day sales reports from all those retailers who haven’t paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
In the “controversy sells” category, Interscope’s Lana Del Rey album, Born to Die, is surpassing expectations with a first-week total that should do between 55-60k.
Columbia’s new Leonard Cohen album, Old Ideas, his first new studio effort in eight years, since 2004’s Dear Heather, hits retail, with estimates in the 30-35k range.
Finally look for Verity Records Dove and Grammy-award winning gospel singer, bass guitarist and record producer Fred Hammond’s latest, God, Love and Romance, to score in the 25-30k range.
Album sales were up 7% vs. last week, up 2% vs. same week last year and up 2% year to date.
Track sales were down 7% vs. last week, up 5% vs. same week last year and up 6% year to date.
TEA sales were up 2% vs. last week, up 3% vs. same week last year and up 4% year to date.

With only a week to go before the Grammys, Adele holds on to the #1 spot for an astounding 19th week. As of now, one more week will tie the Bodyguard soundtrack for the most weeks at #1 in the SoundScan era. Next up will be MC Hammer's Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em, which spent 21 weeks at #1 in 1990. Here's how it looks headed into the weekend:
Adele (XL/Columbia) 100-110k *Lana Del Rey (Interscope) 60-65k *Leonard Cohen (Columbia) 35-40k 2012 Grammy Nominees (Universal Republic) 30-35k Tim McGraw (Curb) 28-32k *Fred Hammond (Verity) 27-30k Drake (YM/CM/Universal Republic) 27-30k Kidz Bop 21 (Razor & Tie) 25-28k Rihanna (Def Jam/IDJ) 19-22k Tony Bennett (Columbia) 19-22k Young Jeezy (Def Jam/IDJ) 18-21k Mary J. Blige (Geffen) 18-21k LMFAO (Interscope) 17-20k Kelly Clarkson (19/RCA) 17-20k Black Keys (Nonesuch) 17-20k Luke Bryan (Capitol Nashville/EMI) 17-20k
