ONE-DAY SALES: McGRAW SADDLES UP, CHASES TWAIN
Country Duel Leads Mighty Pack of New Releases into Post-Turkey Sellathon
November 27, 2002
That said, weeeeeeeeeeeee-doggggggggies, cowboys ’n’ cowgals!!!!! We got us a big ole rodeo of a contest for #1 on next week’s chart, according to early reports from national accounts. Shania Twain’s UP! (Mercury/IDJ), which bowed with a whopping 861k this week, will have to fend off Tim McGraw’s Tim McGraw and the Dancehall Doctors (Curb), which appears (repeat: appears) likely (repeat: (likely) to do over 500k in its first week, with a chance at 600k.
That means if Shania experiences the usual second-week dip, she could be ousted from the top of the chart by Mr. Faith Hill. Notice how we said “could” there? As in maybe?
Perhaps as surprising is rap icon Tupac Shakur’s latest posthumous release, Better Dayz (Amaru/Tha Row/Interscope), which at this point looks like it’ll do about 400k, depending on whether stock issues can be sorted out. As one can imagine, this isn’t the easiest week to deal with a stock problem, but word is ’Pac will be taken care of.
Jennifer Lopez, meanwhile, stops rubbing up on sexy-guy hubby Ben Affleck for long enough to see her This Is Me... Then (Epic) rack up, in all likelihood, more than 300k in its first week. Not bad for lil’ ol’ Jenny from the Block.
