The Gift
Release Date:11/09
From: "Britain's Got Talent"
http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/search/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1004126987
"Boyle's "Gift" leads a total of six debuts in the top 10 as the music industry continues to gear up for the holiday shopping season. While last week's No. 1, Taylor Swift's "Speak Now," slips to No. 2 (212,000; down 34%)..."

"Industry prognosticators suggest that the Christmas-flavored "Gift" could sell upwards of 300,000 copies by week's end on Nov. 21. Considering it opened atop the list this week with 318,000, that would be a minuscule second-week decline. Normally, albums that post big opening weeks tend to drop significantly in week number two."

"Looking to come in at No. 2 is "America's Got Talent" runner-up Jackie Evancho with her debut EP "O Holy Night." The modestly priced four-track set might sell in the range of 250,000 to 280,000. Rihanna's fifth studio album, "Loud," is on track to give the diva her fifth top 10, as it's aiming for a start around 180,000 copies."

"Kid Cudi enters at No. 3 with "Man on the Moon II" (169,000). That easily beats the premiere (and best week) of his debut set, last year's "Man on the Moon," which started at No. 4 with 104,000."

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Release Date: 11/22

On Monday Mr. West, who is 33, will release his fifth album, “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” (Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam), and it’s terrific — of course it’s terrific — a startlingly maximalist take on East Coast rap traditionalism.
