HITS predix: Jennifer 215-225k, Kellie 40-45k

As usual, HITS Daily Double revised its predictions today for next week's building album sales chart. Of note to Idol fans were the predictions for Jennifer Hudson's and Kellie Pickler's self-titled albums, which were originally predicted to land at 215-225k and 40k, respectively, based on first day sales.

Today's numbers are mostly unchanged, but Kellie's album is now carrying a slighly more optimistic prediction of 40-45k copies for its opening week. Still underwhelming, but the album should see better days ahead as its lead single "Don't You Know You're Beautiful" begins to gain ground at radio.
