New albums from Feist (Interscope), John Mellencamp (Republic), Old Crow Medicine Show (Sony Music Nashville), Trombone Shorty (Blue Note) and The Cranberries (BMG) occupy slots 11 through 20.

On the singles side, "I'm the One," the new DJ Khaled featuring Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne, Chance the Rapper and Quavo (We the Best/Epic) sits at #1, and the Biebs-enhanced Luis Fonsi smash "Despacito" (Universal Latin) sits at #2.
