Kesha's comeback album Rainbow is aiming for a No. 1 debut.

According to industry forecasters, the album, which was released last Friday (Aug. 11), is expected to move between 100,000 and 120,000 equivalent album units by the end of the tracking week this Thursday (Aug. 17).

That would be more than enough units to secure the top spot on the Billboard 200 album chart, thus giving Kesha her second chart-topper after her debut record Animal, which also started atop the chart when it was released in 2010.

The news comes as Rainbow's lead single "Praying" has quickly become a hit, rising from No. 32 to No. 24 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week.
