The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' soundtrack hits number two on Billboard Top 200

'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' OST - Summit Ent./Atlantic Records

Despite predictions that The Twilight Saga: Eclipse's official motion picture soundtrack would debut at number one on the Billboard Top 200 chart, it has finally hit the charts . . . at the number two spot.
Reports Billboard, "Well, Gleeks rejoice! The 'Journey to Regionals' EP debuts at No. 1 with 152,000 sold according to Nielsen SoundScan, besting the 'Eclipse' album at No. 2 with 144,000."
Predictions which vetted Eclipse for number one estimated that it would earn "possibly as much as 140,000 to 160,000 copies sold," so these numbers fall right in line with expectations.
The Glee soundtrack wasn't originally considered the Eclipse soundtrack's biggest contender, but instead folks thought that Christina Aguilera's album would be the biggest competition.
Last year with The Twilight Saga: New Moon's OST, it debuted at the number two spot as well against Michael Buble but went on to take number one the following week and become certified platinum (speaking of which, you should check out the Hurricane Bells' picture of the platinum record). While Billboard's article predicts Drake's release will hit next week's charts heavily, perhaps history will repeat itself and we'll see Eclipse at number one then.
