YOUR EARLY READS: We may be looking at a four-way race for #1 next week. Jason Mraz (Atlantic), Kidz Bop Kids (Razor & Tie), "Weird Al" Yankovic (RCA) and Rise Against (DGC) all appear headed to the 50-60k range, which should be good enough to top next week’s album chart. You may take all this with the proverbial boulder of salt, but we're resuming our accordion lessons just in case. The following week, of course, will see the big chart bow of Capitol's 5 Seconds of Summer. (7/15p)
