HDD UPDATE:
YOUR YEAR-END TOP 15: We sincerely hope you're fully occupied with chilling the bubbly, loading the confetti cannon and affixing the sex swing to the ceiling ahead of your New Year’s Eve festivities (and for safety’s sake, people, please secure that swing with toggle bolts). But in case you’ve got a hankering to see what next week’s retail action will look like, we present our final Top 15 of 2013. With the 1 million sales mark dead ahead, #1 Beyoncé already has the year's best-selling release by a female artist. #2 One Direction also pass the million-unit milestone this week, so Rob Stringer and team say pass the bubbly. Note also that an iTunes $6.99-$7.99 sale applies to Frozen, Katy Perry, Luke Bryan, Lorde, Imagine Dragons, Now 48, Lady Gaga and several others listed below, as the download emporium calls its gift cards home.

Beyonce On Course for Third Week at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Chart
Beyonce is on course to score her longest-running No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart. Based on sales forecasts from industry sources, her new self-titled set should stay put atop next week's Billboard 200 for a third consecutive week.
Sources suggest the album could sell upwards of 250,000 copies by the end of the tracking week on Sunday, Dec. 29. This past week, it spent its second frame at No. 1, moving 617,000 according to Nielsen SoundScan. In the album's first 10 days of release, it sold 991,000 copies.
If "Beyonce" is No. 1 for a third week, it will mark the diva's longest-reigning chart-topper. While all five of her studio albums have reached No. 1, her longest rule atop the list is two weeks (for both "Beyonce" and "4").
The new Billboard 200's top 10 will be revealed on Thursday, Jan. 2.
