In Coldplay fashion, it seems like the living legendary band will find it’s way to the top spot next week with their latest album Mylo Xyloto, aiming for 440k-470k in their first week according to Hits Daily Double . This week also sees major debuts from Kelly Clarkson, who will no doubt come in 2nd place with her album “Stronger” and both Adele and Michael Buble are duking it out for that #3 spot.
