If the reporting goes at an even pace, 60,000 and 37% would mean 162,000 at 100%. If it goes at an uneven pace, we'll have to wait until the final tally. Either way, the sun should still rise in the East.
Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river
Notice how far last week's big debuts, Muse and Kid Cudi, fall this week (Muse from #3 to outside the top 20*; Kid Cudi from #4 to outside the top 30*). It will be interesting to see how Pearl Jam does in the weeks ahead. "Pearl Jam" held up relatively well (2-8-10-17-22 the first 5 weeks); "Riot Act" did not (5-36-67-90-100 the first five weeks). If I had to wager, I would bet on a fall from #1 to outside of the top 10, but still in the top 20.
* On The Billboard 200, the Muse and Kid Cudi albums will not fall quite so far. The chart in the link is comprehensive (i.e., it includes catalog albums including those by artists like Michael Jackson and The Beatles, which are not included in The Billboard 200).

Interesting chart numbers there to remember, I used to be a chart freak many years ago.
ps-Both S/T and BS debuted top 10 in the UK but poor R/ACT entered there @34!
