Chrisette Michele and Ciara Debuts, Will Vie with Hanna Montana for Top Spot
May 6, 2009
Three very different divas hold the key to next week’s HITS Album Sales chart race.
A pair of debuts from LaFace/JLG’s Ciara and Def Jam/IDJ’s Chrisette Michele will be next week’s top chart newcomers, each looking to score in the 70-80k range.

wow i figure she would do more than that and i'm actually listening to the album right now and i'm actually liking it;those previews didn't do the album justice..i think it's a lot better than the evolution.

I'm happy for her but this time around she hasn't released anything that would make me go out and by the record.
