Weakend Chart Preview

A strong weekend for Jay Z and Kanye West, in their third week, could see the duo challenge Game for The #1 Throne on next week's HITS Album Chart. For now, though, Game gets the slight edge. Country female supergroup Pistol Annies holds strong after two days, thanks to a good look from being #1 at iTunes (Lil Wayne, in pre-order, is currently #1). Here's how it's shaping up headed into the MTV Video Music Awards weekend:

*Game (Interscope) 90-95k
Jay Z and Kanye West (Roc-a-fella/Roc Nation) 85-90k
Adele (XL/Columbia) 70-75k
*Barbra Streisand (Columbia) 68-73k
Now 39 (Capitol/EMI) 50-55k
*Pistol Annies (Columbia Nashville) 45-50k
Luke Bryan (Capitol Nashville) 30-35k
Jason Aldean (Broken Bow) 27-30k
*Muppets: Green Album (Walt Disney) 24-27k
Eric Church (Capitol Nashville) 21-24k
Mumford & Sons (Glassnote) 18-21k
Beyonce (Columbia) 18-21k
Foster the People (Columbia) 18-21k
Lady Gaga (Interscope) 18-21k
Eli Young Band (Republic Nashville) 17-20k

*Debuts (8/25p)
