R&B star Trey Songz is expected to make a big splash on next week’s Billboard 200 chart.
Billboard.com is reporting that the singer’s new album, “Passion, Pain & Pleasure,” is projected to sell between 230-and-250-thousand copies in its first week.
That may not be good enough for number one, however, as Linkin Park’s “A Thousand Suns” is anticipated to sell as many as 260-thousand copies. “Passion, Pain & Pleasure” features Trey Songz’s current single, “Bottoms Up,” which moved up to number 17 on this week’s Hot 100.
The vocalist’s last album — 2009’s “Ready” — opened at number three on the Billboard 200 with first week sales of 131-thousand. The record has gone on to sell more than 800-thousand copies in the U.S..
