Arcade Fire‘s “The Suburbs” is making a run for No. 1 on next week’s Billboard 200 albums chart. Industry sources suggest the new set could sell maybe between 120,000 to 140,000 by week’s end (Aug. 8).

It’s understood that “The Suburbs” is greatly benefiting from its promotion in Amazon’s MP3 store, where it’s been sale priced for $3.99 since Monday. (The store began selling the album one day earlier than its official street date.)

There’s a chance that Eminem’s “Recovery” may possibly retake the No. 1 slot. The album slipped to No. 2 this past week, selling 159,000 (down just 15%).

Arcade Fire’s last release in 2007, “Neon Bible,” started at No. 2 with 92,000. It was blocked from the top spot by the No. [Billboard]

Arcade Fire, Spoon, and Owen Pallett played their first of two NYC shows at MSG on Wednesday night. The second show, which will also be streaming online, happens tonight, Thursday, August 5th. Tickets are still on sale.

More pictures and the setlist from Wednesday (8/4), and a video of “Wake Up” with the entire very large venue singing along, below…
