YOUR WEAKEND TOP 15 CHART PREVIEW

Hey, we know you’re busy, what with the NBA Playoffs and the NFL Draft, but we wanted to point out a couple of noteworthy aspects to this week’s competition. Columbia has a shot at two of the top three finishers, thanks to the power of Glee (whose album of Madonna covers will debut much higher than Madge’s own recent CD/DVD release) and the opening week of mighty AC/DC. We may also see a pair of six-figure totals, as Lady A picks up increased momentum behind Monday night’s ACMs. Oh, and one other thing: the latest episode of Glee re-airs tonight, to the delight of those who missed the ending of the show Wednesday night thanks to Idol going long. Finally, foot traffic is expected to be high behind the DVD release of Avatar. And now, without further ado…
