Usher's Here I Stand continues to charge its way towards a No. 1 debut on next week's Billboard 200 album chart, as it will once again lead Nielsen SoundScan's Building chart when it is released later today (May 30).
Unweighted sales of Stand through the close of business Thursday (May 29) were 267,000. Depending on weekend sales, Usher has a chance to meet or possibly exceed the year's best sales week -- when Mariah Carey's E=MC2 bowed with 463,000 in April.
