Ciara's sixth studio album, Jackie, will make a top ten debut on next week's Billboard 200 album chart, but the sales will be weak.
According to trusted projections, the personal project will sell 19-22k in its first week, with possibly another 3k after streaming tallies are calculated.
Led by the singles "I Bet" and "Dance Like We're Making Love," Ciara says Jackie, which is named after her mom, "really takes me back in time, to when I didn't overthink the creative process."
Mumford & Sons' 'Glassnote' is poised to top the chart with 245-265k albums sold, 265-285k SPS.
Official numbers will be revealed next week.
