Based on first-day sales Tuesday cited by retail chains, chart pundits figure Backstreet's "Never Gone" (Jive/Zomba Label Group) could hit 300,000 copies in the week ended June 19. The group's chances of landing its third No. 1 album depend on how large a second-week decline Coldplay's chart-topping "X&Y" (Capitol) suffers from its opening stand of 737,000. Of the last six albums to bow at No. 1 on The Billboard 200, the largest second-week dip was 67% for Nine Inch Nails' "With Teeth" (Nothing/Interscope), while the smallest was 42% for Rob Thomas' "...Something To Be" (Melisma/Atlantic). Foo Fighters' "In Your Honor" (Roswell/RCA) should open in the neighborhood of 260,000-280,000, says a source close to the album. The band's largest prior week was 121,000 for fourth album "One By One" the week that it opened at No. 3 in 2002. Reuters/Billboard Comment on this item.
