Top 15

YOUR TOP 15: Maroon 5 will debut at #1 next week, powered by hit single “Maps” and a TV onslaught by the band and frontman Adam Levine. UMG looks set to score eight of the Top 10, including Bob Marley and the Wailers’ Legend, which is surging this week thanks to being the 99 cent Album of the Week at Google Play. Here’s how it looks headed into the weekend:

*Maroon 5 (222/Interscope) 150-160k
*Jeezy (Def Jam) 95-105k
Guardians of the Galaxy (Hollywood) 50-55k
Ariana Grande (Republic) 45-50k
Sam Smith (Capitol) 30-35k
Now 51 (NOW) 30-35k
*Counting Crows (Capitol) 27-30k
Frozen (Walt Disney) 27-30k
Bob Marley and the Wailers, Legend (Island) 21-24k
Miranda Lambert (RCA Nashville) 19-22k
Wiz Khalifa (Atlantic) 19-22k
5 Seconds of Summer (Capitol) 17-20k
KEM (Motown) 17-20k
Ed Sheeran (Atlantic) 16-18k
Brad Paisley (Arista Nashville) 16-18k

Technically, the 99-cent price point on Marley is offset by the fact that you have to spend at least ten bucks on weed to enjoy it properly. Speaking of which, can somebody reload this GPen already? (9/4p)
