According to Hits Daily Double, Janet Jackson's Discipline will enter the charts at #1 next week with Erykah Badu's New AmErykah following at #2. Janet's tenth studio release is expected to move somewhere around 180,000 units by the time the official numbers are released. Badu provided healthy competition this week with a stellar album that's garnering mostly positive reviews. Janet, on the other hand, seems to have a higher hill to climb critically.
