YOUR TOP 15 (PLUS ONE): Universal appears headed to having an unprecedented nine of the Top 10 albums on next week's chart, with Lady Gaga (seen at right with the co-stars of her upcoming holiday special) leading the pack. Kelly Clarkson's holiday album, Wrapped In Red, is the lone non-UMG title. We don't believe this has ever happened in the modern charting era. Here's how it looks headed into the weekend:
1. Lady Gaga (Interscope) 240-260k
2. Eminem (Shady/Aftermath/Interscope) 200-220k
3. Now 48 (UMe) 95-105k
4. The Robertsons (EMI Nashville) 60-65k
5. Katy Perry (Capitol) 45-50k
6. Kelly Clarkson (RCA) 40-45k
7. The Beatles (Capitol) 35-40k
8. Drake (Young Money/Cash Money/Republic) 30-35k
9. Lorde (Lava/Republic) 30-35k
10. Jhene Aiko (Def Jam/IDJ) 30-35k
11. Celine Dion (Columbia) 27-30k
12. Miley Cyrus (RCA) 25-28k
13. Luke Bryan (Capitol Nashville) 24-27k
14. Florida Georgia Line (Republic Nashville) 19-22k
