New Releases

YOUR NEW RELEASES: With her fifth release, RCA Nashville's Miranda Lambert will score her biggest yet first week; with each album, she has bested her previous debut. Rhino's reissues of Led Zeppelin's first three albums look solid for a Top 15 debut, with at least one set likely to land in the Top 10. Sony Masterworks' If/Then: A New Musical ST, featuring Idina Menzel is also a strong Top 15 contender, as Frozen breakout Menzel will perform on the Tony Awards this Sunday. Here are the week's key debuts:

Miranda Lambert (RCA Nashville) 170-180k
50 Cent (G-Unit) 35-40k
Now Country 7 (NOW) 25-28k
Led Zeppelin I (Rhino) 25-28k
Led Zeppelin II (Rhino) 24-27k
Led Zeppelin III (Rhino) 24-27k
Lucy Hale (DMG Nashville) 22-25k
If/Then: A New Musical (Sony Masterworks) 15-18k
Soundgarden, Superunknown 20th Anniversary (UMe) 10-12k
Birdy (Atlantic) 10-12k
Jesus Culture (Jesus Culture) 10-12k
Emblem3 (Emblem3) 8-10k

Be advised that when those Zep and Soundgarden reissues come in there will be a lot of old guys in the office playing air guitar. You've been warned. (6/4p)
