Rock legend Jimi Hendrix's new archival album, "People, Hell and Angels," is set to debut at No. 2 on next week's Billboard 200 chart -- so say industry sources. The album might sell around 70,000 copies by the end of the tracking week on Sunday, March 10.
The new Billboard 200 chart's top 10 will be revealed on the morning of Wednesday, March 13.
The new album contains 12 previously unreleased studio recordings completed by Hendrix between 1968 and 1970. The singer/songwriter/guitarist died on Sept. 18, 1970.
If the title opens at No. 2, it will mark Hendrix's highest-charting album since 1968, when "Electric Ladyland" spent two weeks at No. 1. Hendrix most recently visited the top 10 of the chart when another from-the-vaults album, 2010's "Valleys of Neptune," debuted and peaked at No. 4.
As for who will be No. 1 next week: We earlier reported that country star Luke Bryan is on course for his first chart-topper. His new compilation "Spring Break . . . Here to Party" may sell around 120,000 copies.
