According to Hits Daily Double, Chris Cornell's new solo album, "Carry On", is poised to sell around 40,000 copies in the United States during its first week of release.

AUDIOSLAVE's "Revelations" opened with 142,000 copies back in September 2006 to land at No. 2 on The Billboard 200 chart. This was a sharp drop from the first-week performance of 2005's "Out of Exile", which premiered with 263,000 units to debut at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 chart.

Cornell's video for the song "Arms Around Your Love" has been posted online at AOL Music.
