Hozier's big week continues to grow, as the Irish singer-songwriter's first full-length is expected to earn a top 10 debut in the United States.

Billboard reports the set, which was released Tuesday on Rubyworks/Columbia Records, is on track to finish with 50,000 copies sold in the first week.

Of course, the "Take Me to Church" singer is also set to perform this weekend on Saturday Night Live, which will likely give him a boost in the final 24 hours of the tracking week ending Sunday night.

Jason Aldean's Old Boots, New Dirt has been aiming for a secure No. 1 start with more than 270,000 copies. Meanwhile, new records from music vets Weezer and Stevie Nicks are also expected to debut in the top 10, but with lower tallies.

Weezer's Everything Will Be Alright in the End is tracking towards 30,000 in its first week, while Nicks' 24 Karat Gold: Songs From the Vault is hovering between 25,000 and 30,000.

As for Hozier, his star continues to rise. He announced last month he was adding a new, two-month tour because his current one is already sold out.
