"Asylum", the new album from Chicago heavy rockers Disturbed, is likely to sell between 145,000 and 160,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at the top of next week's The Billboard 200 chart, according to industry web site Hits Daily Double. The estimate was based on one-day sales reports compiled after the record arrived in stores on August 31.

Indestructible" (first-week sales: 253,000), 2005's double-platinum "
Ten Thousand Fists" (first-week sales: 238,000) and 2002's platinum "
Believe" (first-week sales: 284,000) — also debuted at No. 1.
Disturbed's best-selling release to date is its 2000 debut, "The Sickness", which has shifted more than four million copies in the US alone, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
