As Christmas rapidly approaches any good artist/entrepreneur knows that its the best time of the year to release an album as you are almost guaranteed the best possible commercial reception. So true to form the Billboard 200 will be flooded with a handful of major releases this coming week.
There is something for everyone in this weeks releases from Michael Buble', Rihanna, Mary J Blige and Nickelback and Daughtry. Michael delivers this years biggest Christmas LP, a smart move indeed, as past trends have shown each year has one major Christmas LP dominate the chart like no other (remember Josh Groban, and Su Bo?). Rihannas delivers her 6th studio album titled "Talk That Talk" almost exactly a year since she released "Loud", a number 1 album has eluded Riri on all 5 previous attempts and alas it appears "Talk" is not about to upset that trend! Dont worry Riri you are the singles queen and ""We Found Love " remains at the penthouse position of the Hot 100.
According to the numbers as they stand right now the competition for that number one spot is between Michael and Nickelback each expected to sell around 250000 to 270000 units, Riri is expected to sit at No.3. By the way, is anybody even checking for Mary J anymore?
