Top 15

YOUR TOP 15: Frozen will spend its eighth non-consecutive week at #1 as the Disney soundtrack remains strong in the week following the DVD release. Next week, the soundtrack will likely have to concede the top spot to Capitol's 5 Seconds of Summer. The Aussie popsters' debut EP is expected to open in the 150k-200k range. Here's how it looks headed into the weekend:

Frozen (Walt Disney) 150-160k
*Shakira (RCA/Sony Latin) 75-80k
*Johnny Cash (Legacy) 45-50k
*Memphis May Fire (Rise) 30-35k
Pharrell Williams (Columbia) 24-27k
Kari Jobe (Capitol) 21-23k
YG (CTE/Def Jam/IDJ) 21-23k
Lorde (Lava/Republic) 20-22k
*Erica Campbell (eOne) 19-21k
*Barry Manilow (Stiletto) 18-20k
Rick Ross (Def Jam/IDJ) 17-19k
