According to Hits Daily Double, the companion web site of music industry tip sheet HITS, former SOUNDGARDEN/AUDIOSLAVE singer Chris Cornell's third solo album, "Scream", is on track to move between 20,000 and 25,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release.

Cornell performed his new song "Long Gone" on the March 10 edition of ABC-TV's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" Watch footage of the appearance below.

Released on March 10 via Interscope/Mosley Music, "Scream" "showcases a new, seductive sound — dark, multi-layered and full of puzzles and surprises," according to a press release. "The songs bring a new cinematic scope to Cornell's performances, with potent visual imagery echoing the non-stop musical assault from his internationally acclaimed live band." "Musically, this is the most ambitious thing I've been a part of. It's almost like a movie soundtrack," says Cornell.

"Nobody is expecting from Chris to be the young bruised poetic soul he once was with Soundgarden. Neither we expect him to go back and research the ruins of Audioslave...В  But the question is: IsВ 'Scream' re-e-e-e-ally a jerk?'

Is the question in Stiff's review of teh album HERE.
