Beyonce’s self-titled album is slated to be the #1 album in the country next week, with sales between 260,000 and 280,000, according to hitsdailydouble.com.

The story attributes the sales figures to the release’s iTunes sales and its arrival at retailers in CD form.

Last week, Beyonce sold 617,000 copies, as per Nielsen Soundscan. The sales figure, which was the most any of the singer’s albums have sold in their first week of release, earned Beyonce the #1 spot on the charts.
