IB tease: 2012 albums, 2013 hits

I.B. RUNS THE NUMBERS: No one in the business would dispute that Justin Timberlake’s The 20/20 Experience is the story of the year. The RCA album continues to steamroll at retail, this week’s 76k tally bringing it close to 1.7m, with no slowdown in sight—and a second volume coming this fall. The other 2013 success stories involve 2012 albums that have continued their momentum into this year, one of which has been out for 56 weeks. So what are these albums with legs? You'll find out tomorrow morning via industry insider I.B. Bad, who will roll out the shortlist and provide the pertinent stats. (5/2a)
