According to the Reuters wire story:
“The U.S. album chart is finally heating up after a lengthy lackluster spell, with the latest “Twilight” soundtrack set to lead a trio of notable newcomers next week.
“The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” is going up against Christina Aguilera’s first studio release in nearly four years and the latest EP from the cast of the Fox TV show “Glee.”
Industry prognosticators think “Eclipse” will likely debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, with possibly as much as 140,000 to 160,000 copies sold by week’s end on June 13. The last “Twilight” release, “New Moon,” was released on a Friday and sold 115,000 in just three days, debuting at No. 2. In its first full week, it sold 153,000 and moved up to No. 1.
Sources also predict that the “Glee” album, “Journey to Regionals,” might sell around 110,000 to 130,000 while Aguilera’s “Bionic” could move 100,000 to 120,000 copies.”

I totally believe so. It’s an amazing CD, just can’t get enough of it. All the songs are perfect, they fit the story line and I can imagine it in Eclipse. Great job.
Do they include iTunes sales in these numbers? This was the first time I’d bought anything on iTunes because I wanted the bonus tracks. I absolutely love “The Line” by Battles so I’m glad I got them.
I am ticked off at the iTunes store. The song “Ours” won’t download and gives me the message that it’s a corrupt file. I sent a message yesterday after multiple attempts to download it (I can see the cover, info but no song).
They sent me an email perhaps I can download the whole thing again. Wish me luck.
SIA-MY LOVE. So beautiful
I love Metric and Bravery !
I love this CD. The Bravery song “Ours” sounds like the 80s. Love it..especially since I was a teen in the 80s..lol..Team Edward!
so far I have a few favorites, of course the MUSE song was my favorite since I heard it.
im going with paramore also
The Muse song is awesome – not sure about the others but will listen some more. It stands out WAY above the rest and I am not even a Muse fan.
florence and tha machine + band of horses= awsomeness
I really like the soundtrack. Much better than the one for New Moon, I think.
I LOVE THE soundtrack!! its really really good .. they just keep getting better and better for each movie
THIS IS THE BEST CD OF THE TWILIGHT SAGA SERIES SO FAR! Absolute great cd. My favorites on the album are “Eclipse (All Yours)” and “Heavy In Your Arms.” The entire album is the best.
totally agree best so far! and like I’m a major paramore fan, ha but its just brilliant I love it so much! Florence & Muse & vamp weekend & BBC.. love love love!
Love Metric, UNKLE, MUSE, Sia…WTH…they’re all great! Can’t wait to see where they fit in the movie!!
The soundtrack is just AMAZING love florence and the machine very powerfull tune!!
I’m listening to it right now.
It is a pretty good cd but I still think that TW is my fav soundtrack. On this cd Neutron Star Collision is my fav. It won’t be surprising if it is #1.
I can’t wait untill I get the “SOUNDTRACK!!!!”…I ordered it on-line from Amazon.com….it has been shipped already…and is on its’ way!!…I have only listened to the first track…Muses’ “Neutron Star Collision(Love Is Forever)”…the video for it..is totally AWESOME!!!!…looking forward to hearing/seeing the rest of the soundtrack!!!!
