Tony’s iconic band Black Sabbath is heading for its first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart. Industry sources suggest the group's new "13," released on Tuesday (June 11), may sell over 120,000 copies by the end of the tracking week on Sunday, June 16.
The new Billboard 200 chart's top 10 will be revealed on the morning of Wednesday, June 19.
Sabbath's projected sales figure should easily be enough to trump the rest of the week's new albums, along with fighting off any challenges from holdover titles.
Black Sabbath's "13" is the band's first studio album with singer Ozzy Osbourne since 1978's "Never Say Die!" The band has notched just one top 10 album so far, 1971's "Master of Reality," which reached No. 8.
