Matchbox Twenty’s First New Studio Album in a Decade to Debut at #1
September 5, 2012
September winds are starting to blow.
Look for Atlantic’s Matchbox Twenty to get the back-to-school season off to a flying start, when their new album, North, debuts at #1 with 110-120k in sales next Tuesday.
It’s Rob Thomas and company’s first all-new studio album since 2002’s More Than You Think You Are, which debuted in November of that year with 178k on the way to 2.43 million in sales. The band’s last release, 2007’s Exile on Mainstream, was a double-album set which included a single disc of greatest hits.
New Interscope band, Las Vegas alternative rockers Imagine Dragons’ major label bow, Night Visions, after four EPs, should debut nicely with 55-60k in sales. The group’s music clip for “It’s Time” is up for an MTV Video Music Award in the Best Rock Video category.
Reach Atlanta-based Christian rapper Lecrae’s Gravity is in the 55-60k range, but that’s based on very limited info, with plenty of religious bookstore sales yet to be counted as the week continues.
Kitsune/Glassnote Irish rockers Two Door Cinema Club’s sophomore album Beacon looks to be in the 15-20k range.
Next week’s (9/11) release slate includes RCA’s Dave Matthews Band and Columbia’s Bob Dylan along with American/Republic’s Avett Brothers and veteran Seven Arts rapper DMX.
