Arcade Fire Heading To The Top

08/06/2010
. (Gibson) Arcade Fire are poised to hit the top of the U.S. album charts this week. The Canadian indie rockers' third album, The Suburbs, is tracking to take over the top slot from Avenged Sevenfold, whose Nightmare album looks to hold that spot for only one week, according to Hitsdailydouble.com. The website is estimating sales for The Suburbs to come in around 125,000.

It is certainly an eventful week for the band, as award-winning filmmaker and erstwhile Python Terry Gilliam directed the band's performance for the kick-off concert of "Unstaged: An Original Series from American Express" last night. The show was live-streamed on YouTube, with fans tweeting questions and requests to the band.

Arcade Fire will appear at Lollapalooza on Sunday, August 8 and at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on Monday, August 9. -
