Daft Punk”s “Random Access Memories” will spend a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 next week, as it fends off three newcomers.
The French duo”s set drops considerably from the 335,000 this week to sell between 90,000-100,000 copies, but that”s still enough to give it a handy lead over Alice in Chains” “The Devil Put Dinosaurs” here, which will sell up to 65,000 copies for No. 2 and John Fogerty”s “Wrote A Song For Everyone” and Little Mix”s “DNA,” both of which are on target to sell between 45,000-50,000 for No. 3 and No. 4, according to Hits Daily Double.
The rest of the Top 10 are veterans as Darius Rucker”s “True Believers” and the soundtrack to “The Great Gatsby” are in a dead heat for No. 5 with sales of 40,000-45,000 each.
Vampire Weekend”s “Modest Vampires of the City” and Imagine Dragons” “Night Vision” find themselves in a similar situation with the titles tied going into the weekend for No. 7 with between 30,000-35,000 units each.
Justin Timberlake”s “The 20/20 Experience” logs another week in the Top 10, most likely at No. 9, while Blake Shelton”s “Based On A True Story…” leaps back from No. 16 to No. 10.
