The sales forecast for Luke Bryan's new album just keeps getting brighter.

Two days ago, industry prognosticators suggested Bryan's "Crash My Party" album might sell 450,000 copies by the end of the tracking week on Sunday, Aug. 18. Now, that forecast has been upgraded to 500,000 -- if not more.

Unless something really "Crazy" happens, Bryan's album will open at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. It would be his second chart-topping album -- and second this year, following "Spring Break… Here to Party."

The new Billboard 200 chart's top 10 will be revealed on the morning of Wednesday, Aug. 21.

"Crazy's" debut will also instantly give Bryan the third-largest sales week of 2013. Only the debuts of Justin Timberlake's "The 20/20 Experience" (968,000) and Jay Z's "Magna Carta… Holy Grail" (528,000) captured bigger weeks.

Further, "Crash" may log the largest sales week for a male country artist since way back in 2004. That November, Tim McGraw's "Live Like You Were Dying" bowed with 766,000.

Stunningly, since 2008, only three country albums have sold more than a half-million copies in a single week -- and they're all by Taylor Swift. She's seen half-million bows with each of her last three studio albums: 2012's "Red" (a 1.21 million debut), 2010's "Speak Now" (1.05 million) and 2008's "Fearless" (592,000).

Wow. I LOVE Luke Bryan, but I did not expect this huge number. Pleased for him though

Here's his first single from the album: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WEpLzsdEeY

This doesn't surprise me. In my area, his songs are played like every five seconds.

God bless you and him always!!!

P.S. To me, "Is Someone Else Calling You Baby?" is his best song.
