Chart preview

Usher will debut at #1 next week, while as many as six new releases could land in the Top 15. Seven of the projected Top 15 are country titles, including that ol’ cowhand Lionel Richie, but not counting Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, despite the fact that they're on the Kenny Chesney/Tim McGraw stadium/shed tour. Here's how things look as we head into the weekend:

*Usher (RCA) 120-125k
*Rush (Roadrunner) 90-95k
Adele (XL/Columbia) 60-65k
*Ed Sheeran (New Elektra) 45-50k
One Direction (Syco/Columbia) 40-45k
*Josh Turner (MCA Nashville) 40-45k
Alan Jackson (Capitol Nashville/EMI) 30-35k
