Industry sources say that the set     may sell  between 60,000 to 70,000 copies by the end of the     tracking week on  Sunday, Feb. 5. That should easily give the     album at No. 2 debut on  the Billboard 200 chart next week. <a href="/bbbiz/industry/retail/lana-del-rey-and-leonard-cohen-billboard-1006097752.story">&raquo; Full Story</a>
