    The Billboard Charts are going to undergo a shake-up next week when R&B singer Jill Scott lands her first number one album when her fourth disc Light Of The Sun sells 135,000 copies according to figures provided by Nielsen Soundscan.
    .

    However Scott’s success was nearly overshadowed by another newcomer to the charts, indie folk artist Bon Iver (a.k.a. Justin Vernon) whose self-titled follow-up to 2008’s For Emma, Forever Ago, will debut at number two selling 104,000 copies.
    .

    Other notable entries to top ten include country singer Justin Moore whose Outlaws Like Me will land at number five selling 65,000 copies and Pitbull, whose Planet Pit is slated to sell 55,000 copies, which will be enough to help him land the number 7 spot.
    .

    Oh and how could we forget “Weird Al” Yankovic? The parody polka artist’s 13th studio album Alpocalypse will move 44,000 copies to sneak into the number nine spot.
