Top 15

YOUR NEW YEAR TOP 15: There could be a battle brewing for #1 next week. Bolstered by sale pricing at iTunes and a strong holiday box office, Disney’s Frozen soundtrack gets the edge as of now. Meanwhile, the self-titled smash from Columbia’s Beyoncé will become the fastest album ever to sell 1 million digital copies, taking just four weeks to hit that milestone. Once again, please expect a greater than usual margin of error, as info is still limited due to the holidays. Here's how it looks headed into the weekend:

Frozen (Walt Disney) 140-150k
Beyoncé (Columbia) 130-140k
Eminem (Shady/Aftermath/Interscope) 55-60k
One Direction (SYCO/Columbia) 50-55k
Katy Perry (Capitol) 50-55k
Lorde (Lava/Republic) 45-50k
Luke Bryan (Capitol Nashville) 45-50k
Imagine Dragons (KidinaKorner/Interscope) 35-40k
Now 48 (UMe) 35-40k
Miley Cyrus (RCA) 30-35k
Lady Gaga (Interscope) 30-35k
Justin Timberlake (RCA) 27-30k
Garth Brooks (Pearl) 27-30k
R. Kelly (RCA) 27-30k
OneRepublic (Interscope) 27-30k
