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.

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
*Debuts
