Chart preview
YOUR ROCKIN’ WEAKEND CHART PREVIEW
The boys and girls at Steve Barnett’s Columbia are rockin’ out and singing cover versions of cover versions, as the red-hot label appears poised to drop two debuts into next week’s Top 10, one from the Glee franchise, the other from heralded indie outfit Band of Horses (the subject of a big thumbs-up review from our own Bud Scoppa in the current ish of Uncut). Another indie mainstay group, the two-man Black Keys, is trending even stronger on its major label debut. Enough people are buying into the Exile legend—prodded along by the wall-to-wall TV appearances by the Glimmer Twins—to land the remastered/expanded reissue at #2. Universal Republic also has a pair of debuts in the thick of it. Here’s the story as of late Thursday:
