Stone Temple Pilots ready to knock 'Glee' from the top of the album charts
Who else debuts in next week's Top 10?
Stone Temple Pilots are ready to top the charts once again.
After a nine-year recording hiatus, Stone Temple Pilots are cleared to land in the top spot on the Billboard 200 with their self-titled set. The foursome’s last album, 2001’s “Shangri-La Dee Da,” peaked at No. 9. It will do so with around 65,000 in sales, one of the lowest tallies to land an act at No. 1 since the start of the Nielsen SoundScan era in 1991.
There’s one possible obstacle in STP’s way: that pesky “Glee” soundtrack, which may decide to spend another week at No. 1, although as of Friday, STP had a 5,000-copy margin. Justin Bieber and Lady Antebellum are duking it out for the No. 3 spot with both targeted to sell around 50,000 copies.
After STP, the only title looking strong enough to debut in the top 10 is the “Sex & the City 2” soundtrack, although poor-to-dismal movie reviews may help sink the soundtrack as well.
Also, Brooks & Dunn, following May 23’s CBS’s tribute concert to the retiring duo, burst back into the Top 10.
