Top 15

YOUR TOP 15: We dreamed a dream that Republic's Les Misérables soundtrack would occupy the top of the chart barricade, and woke up and found it was true: The box-office phenom's OST will claim the #1 spot in its third week of release. Here's what we hope is a somewhat accurate look at the first chart of 2013.

Les Misérables (Republic) 120-130k
One Direction (Syco/Columbia) 95-105k
Mumford & Sons (Glassnote) 85-95k
Taylor Swift (Big Machine) 85-95k
Phillip Phillips (19/Interscope) 60-70k
Pitch Perfect (UMe) 55-60k
Lumineers (Dualtone) 50-55k
Bruno Mars (Atlantic) 50-55k
P!nk (RCA) 50-55k
Alicia Keys (RCA) 45-50k
Now 44 (Capitol) 35-40k
Maroon 5 (A&M/Octone) 35-40k
Justin Bieber (Island/Def Jam) 35-40k
Imagine Dragons (Interscope) 35-40k
Kendrick Lamar (Aftermath/Interscope) 30-35k
T.I. (Grand Hustle/Atlantic) 30-35k

None of the other dreams we've had lately have manifested as chart developments, but since they mostly involve us suddenly being naked in Spanish class, that's probably a good thing. (1/3p)
