Mid-Weeks

YOUR TOP 15: As expected, Justin Timberlake will remain at #1 for a third week, leading a Top 15 that reads like a who's who of the music industry with almost as many individual labels represented. The 20/20 Experience, already the year's best selling album in just three weeks, extends its lead over 2013's #2 best seller, Mumford & Sons, by nearly double, approximately 1.42m to 717k. Here's how it looks headed into the weekend:

Justin Timberlake (RCA) 140-150k
*The Band Perry (Republic Nashville) 110-120k
*Tyler The Creator (Columbia) 85-95k
Blake Shelton (Warner Bros. Nashville) 75-80k
Lil Wayne (Young Money/Cash Money/Republic) 65-70k
*New Kids on the Block (The Block) 45-50k
*Killswitch Engage (Roadrunner) 45-50k
Imagine Dragons (Interscope) 35-40k
Pink (RCA) 35-40k
Bruno Mars (Atlantic) 30-35k
