Whitney Houston has four albums in the Top 10 Next Week


Late Whitney Houston may have four albums in the Top 10 on the Billboard 200 next week, so the industry prognosticators say.

Sources suggest that Houston "Whitney: The Greatest Hits" may end up at No. 2 on the third week straight, and joined the top 10 by the Houston business, "The Bodyguard" soundtrack "Whitney Houston" and "I look at you."

"Greatest Hits" may sell around 100,000 copies by the end of the week on Sunday, March 4, while "The Bodyguard" will probably try to move 40,000 to 50,000. "Whitney Houston" and "I Look to You" is looking at selling about 20,000 to 30,000.

New Billboard 200 chart, top 10 will be unveiled on Wednesday morning, March 7.

Adele "21" is apparently blocked at 23 weeks at No. 1, as the singer's second album is on track to sell another 200,000 to 220.000. Her first album, "19", can also be in the top 10, with about 30,000 to 40,000.

Just call the Billboard 200 Top 10: Presented by Adele and Whitney Houston.

As for the rest of the top 10, album collaboration with Kid Cudi and producer Dot da Genius "WZRD" may debut at No. 3 with about 60,000 to 70,000. Holdovers in the region may include Tyga's "Careless World" (35,000 to 45,000 in the second week), the "Now 41" compilation and Drake's "Take Care".

The graph Nielsen SoundScan's Building (below), Adele is No. 1, while "WZRD" set is at number 2 Tally building is a precursor to the final ranking of the Billboard 200 - reflects the first four days (Monday to Thursday) in SoundScan's tracking week (ending Sunday, 04 March) as reported by the six major merchants.

Houston four albums, including "19" Adele is missing from the chart Building, because it contains a catalog (older) albums. But all will be present on the Billboard 200 next week.

An interesting title is in the No. 9 on the chart Building - a package of three previously released albums from Houston. Titled "Triple Feature" set combines 1990's "I'm Your Baby Tonight", 1998's "My Love Is Your Love" and 2002 "Just Whitney". The package was released in 2010 and has never sold more than a few hundred copies in a week until two weeks ago. In the week ending on February 19 is moved a little over 1,000 copies, while last week, it moved 7000. It was enough to allow its debut at number 73 on the Billboard 200 list

You probably will not "function" in the top 10 on the Billboard 200 next week, but seems destined to enter the top 20.
