Quantcast

Top 15

YOUR TOP 15 (PLUS TWO): It’ll be another banner chart week for Steve Barnett’s reorganized, revitalized Capitol Music Group, as Arcade Fire (seen above performing at the Tower) will be the #1 album and Katy Perry claims the #2 spot. The Top 10 will feature no fewer than six debuts, including the year's highest-charting holiday albums to date (from Kelly Clarkson and Duck Dynasty's The Robertsons). Judging by early indications, these two may well go head-to-head for the Yuletide album crown. Here's how it looks headed into the weekend.
