YOUR TOP 15: Nearly half of the Top 15 are new releases—and whether your taste runs to masked metal marauders, pop icons, a cappella carolers, hip-hop comers or Nashville upstarts, there’s something for you. Here’s how we think the top of next week’s chart will look.

*Slipknot (Roadrunner) 100-110k
*Neil Diamond (Capitol) 75-80k
*Logic (Def Jam) 65-70k
*T.I. (Grand Hustle/Columbia) 65-70k
Florida Georgia Line (Republic Nashville) 55-60k
