LOS ANGELES (Billboard) – Eminem has a good shot at taking the top spot on the U.S. pop album chart next week, although an 11-year-old talent show contestant could steal his thunder.
The hip-hop star could sell about 150,000 copies of "Hell: the Sequel," his collaboration with Royce da 5'9" under the Bad Meets Evil moniker. The sales week ends Sunday evening.
Aiming for the runner-up slot -- or perhaps No. 1 if things really go her way -- is Jackie Evancho with her full-length major-label debut "Dream With Me." The young soprano, who finished in second place last year on "America's Got Talent," recruited Barbra Streisand and Susan Boyle for "Dream." It could sell around 140,000 copies.
After 10 nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1, Adele's "21" might slip to No. 3. Owl City's "All Things Bright and Beautiful" which should enter in the top five. Also likely heading for a top 10 debut is Ledisi's new set "Pieces of Me."
Sales data will be issued on Wednesday. Adele sold 114,000 copies of "21" during the week ended June 12.
