David Bowieย is on track to score his first No. 1 album in the United States.

According to Billboard, the late singer’s 27th album, “Blackstar,” could sell up to 130,000 copies by Jan. 14 and hit No. 1ย on the Billboard 200 chart on Jan. 30. That would launch Bowie’s latest offering past Adele’s “25,” which has been on the top of the chart for seven straight weeks.

The British singer has had seven Billboard top 10 albums in the United States — 2013’s “The Next Day” debuted at No. 2.

Bowie’s sales have increased both on iTunes and Spotify as well.
