Both Ciara’s & Chrisette Michele’s albums dropped this week. They both could be vying for the number 1 spot.

Me personally, I hope Chrisette wins, because so far her album is chock full of WIN. I will be doing a review this weekend if I can squeeze it in. Ciara…well, I will probably do a review of that alongside the other for posterity.

WHICH did you buy? With all of the Ciara leaks and failed singles, her album to me was DOA. Chrisette’s “Epiphany” has been a growing beast out of the gate…

The latest albums from Chrisette Michele and Ciara are on track to debut high on the Billboard 200 chart next week — both with a shot at a No. 1 bow.

Industry prognosticators suggest both Michele’s “Epiphany” (Def Jam) and Ciara’s “Fantasy Ride” (LaFace) will sell over 70,000 copies in their first week of release. With the Mother’s Day holiday on Sunday (May 10), both could see a bump in sales over the weekend due to mom-inspired gift-shopping. Additionally, Ciara is slated to perform on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” on May 9.

Ciara’s last release, 2006’s “The Evolution,” started at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 338,000 in the thick of the Christmas shopping season, while Michele’s freshman effort “I Am” debuted and peaked at No. 29 with 27,000 in 2007. (Source)

However, who in the world would buy their mother a Ciara CD for Mother’s Day!? ROFL I don’t see that happening. I wish I would come up in my mama’s house with some “Fantasy Ride”. She’d toss the dirt over my grave.

PS I heard that $2.99 special got extended…is that true? I got mine already though…
