Justin Bieber & Monica to battle it out for #1 album next week on Billboard



Quote:
Justin Bieber and Monica have two things in common, chart-topping success during their teenage years and albums set to debut atop the charts next week.

According to early figures, Justin Bieber is set to top the Billboard 200 albums chart with his anticipated album "My World 2.0,' while Monica is likely to top the Billboard R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart thanks to "Still Standing".

"My World 2.0," Bieber's second effort in less than a year, is a shoe in for the no.1 spot according to Billboard. While at least three days remain in the sales week, Bieber's album is expected to sell anywhere from 225,000 - 250,000 copies !

Led by the Ludacris assisted single, "Baby," "My World 2.0" features production from The Dream, The Stereotypes, Bryan Michael Cox and Tricky Stewart.

"Still Standing," Monica's sixth studio album, is also set to sell well through the week with projections calling for 165k - 190k.

Also featuring production from Bryan Michael Cox, "Still Standing' includes the single "Everything To Me".

Both albums were released Tuesday, March 23. Final numbers will be released Wednesday, March 31.
