Mid-Weeks

YOUR MID-WEEK ROUNDUP: Gary Allan will score his first-ever #1 album next week (meaning the BBQ is on MCA Nashville chief Mike Dungan). The Lumineers, following their SNL appearance, see a nice increase to land at #2. Their self-titled Dualtone release is approaching 900k to date, which would merit an admiring "Ho Hey" even if they weren't on an indie label. Here's how things look headed into the weekend.

Lumineers (Dualtone) 55-60k
Pitch Perfect (UMe) 40-45k

Bruno Mars (Atlantic) 35-40k
Kidz Bop 23 (Razor & Tie) 35-40k
Taylor Swift (Big Machine) 30-35k
Les Misérables (Republic) 30-35k
