Top 15

YOUR TOP 15: Competition for the #1 spot on next week’s HITS Album Sales Chart remains tight between Lecrae and Jhené Aiko. A third player (and this week’s chart champ), Maroon 5, may enter the race come Monday, thanks largely to a bundled offering from Ticketmaster. Meanwhile, no fewer than eight new releases will debut in the Top 10. Here’s how it looks headed into the weekend:

*Lecrae (Reach) 75-80k
*Jhené Aiko (Def Jam) 70-75k
Maroon 5 (222/Interscope) 55-60k
*Ryan Adams (Blue Note) 38-43k
*Lee Brice (Curb) 38-43k
Jeezy (Def Jam) 30-35k
*Interpol (Matador) 30-35k
*Dustin Lynch (Broken Bow) 28-32k
*Banks (Harvest) 27-30k
