Although they will likely fall behind country singer Taylor Swift's Red LP, Tip's Trouble Man and Chief Keef's Finally Rich should put up substantial opening week numbers.
YOUR ONE-DAYS: New week, same chart champ. The unstoppable force of nature known as Taylor Swift should remain at #1 next week, with Michael Bublé's resurgent Christmas album and Trouble Man by hip-hop hero T.I. vying for runner-up. Here's how the week's key debuts are shaping up: T.I. (Grand Hustle/Atlantic) 150-175k, 12/12/12: The Concert for Sandy Relief (Columbia) 125-150k Chief Keef (Interscope) 50-55k(HITS Daily Double)
Tip recently talked to SOHH about his emphasis on putting out a classic solo effort.
"For an artist of my caliber, at this point in my career, it's my eighth abum," Tip told SOHH about the delays behind Trouble Man: Heavy Is the Head. "With all the time I've been away [in jail] and the expectations of the performance of it, I think [it was necessary] to perfect it and to deliver a classic. [I wasn't] trying to lock myself into a date and compromise my art. Ideally, [I wanted it] before the new year but if [I had to wait] until a few weeks after to get a better shot at delivering to the fans classic material then that's the path [I would have taken]."(SOHH)
