The new Vampire Weekend album 'Contra' will be the number one album in America by the end of the week.
Hits Daily Double is reporting that the 'Contra' album is on its way to registering upwards of 120,000 sales over the week, based on first day sales.
This means Ke$ha's number one with 'Animal' will be short-lived after debuting this week and knocking Susan Boyle from the top of the chart.
New York City based Vampire Weekend formed in 2006 and released their first album 'Vampire Weekend' in 2008.
'Contra' was one of the first albums of 2010, released on January 8.
The first single from the album is 'Cousins'.
