Jennifer Hudson might be able to hit high notes with her voice but Chris Brown’s dance moves may help him to go even higher. As the chart rumble intensifies, Brown is set to outsell his belting counterpart on the Billboard 200 next week.
‘F.A.M.E’ (Brown’s 4th studio album) is projected to sell 250-275k copies next week, putting it on track to claim the #1 spot on the Billboard lineup. These figures will give him the honor of having the 2nd highest 1st-week sales of 2011 to date behind only Adele’s ’21’ which opened with 351k earlier this year.
Hudson’s ‘I Remember Me’ is in line to claim the #2 spot with an impressive 150-175k copies sold. However, these numbers represent a significant decline from the 217k units that the ‘Where You At’ singer sold when her self-titled debut album which entered the chart with 217k in 2008.
Still, these numbers are subject to change. With an entire week of shopping ahead, anything can happen!
