Top 15

YOUR TOP 15: RCA should top both the album and singles sales charts next week, as A$AP Rocky and Justin Timberlake (with expected first-week sales in the neighborhood of 350k) make noise in an otherwise typical January sales week. Here's how it looks headed into the weekend:

* A$AP Rocky (RCA) 140-150k
* Kidz Bop Kids (Razor & Tie) 65-70k
Les Misérables (Republic) 40-45k
Bruno Mars (Atlantic) 35-40k
Pitch Perfect (UMe) 35-40k
Taylor Swift (Big Machine) 35-40k
Lumineers (Dualtone) 27-30k
Mumford & Sons (Glassnote) 21-24k
Phillip Phillips (19/Interscope) 20-23k
One Direction (Syco/Columbia) 18-21k
Chris Tomlin (Six Steps) 18-21k
Adele (XL/Columbia) 18-21k
Rihanna (Def Jam/IDJ) 17-20k
Kendrick Lamar (Aftermath/Interscope) 17-20k
Imagine Dragons (Interscope) 17-20k
T.I. (Grand Hustle/Atlantic) 17-20k

* Debuts

That's all for now. You may return to toggling between doping-cyclist stories and fake-dead-girlfriend stories. (1/17p)
