Top 15

YOUR TOP 15: While it remains pretty close in the race for #1, we're still giving the edge to Capitol Nashville's Keith Urban. A #1 debut for Urban will give Mike Dungan's Universal Nashville its fifth chart topper this year (following Gary Allan's Set You Free, Luke Bryan's Spring Break... Here To Party and Crash My Party and Lady Antebellum's Golden) and two in this week's Top 5. Half of this week's Top 15 are debuts. Here's how it looks headed into the weekend:

*Keith Urban (Capitol Nashville) 100-105k
*The Weeknd (XO/Republic) 90-95k
*2 Chainz (Def Jam/IDJ) 55-60k
Luke Bryan (Capitol Nashville) 50-55k
*Janelle Monae (Bad Boy/Atlantic) 45-50k
*Arctic Monkeys (Domino) 35-40k
*Sheryl Crow (Warner Bros. Nashville) 30-35k
Ariana Grande (Republic) 30-35k
Tamar Braxton (Epic) 30-35k
*Earth Wind & Fire (Legacy) 27-30k
John Legend (Columbia) 25-28k
Avenged Sevenfold (Warner Bros.) 21-24k
*Kaskade (Ultra) 20-23k
Nine Inch Nails (Columbia) 20-23k
Robin Thicke (Star Trak/Interscope) 18-21k

*Debuts

OK, back to listening to our insufferable office-mates talking about football. Wheee. (9/12p)
