Mid-weeks

YOUR TOP 15: As many as eight new releases could debut in the Top 15 next week. The biggest and probably loudest of these, of course, will be 13 from Republic's reunited metal godfathers, Black Sabbath. Here's how it looks headed into the weekend:

*Black Sabbath (Republic) 115-125k
Daft Punk (Columbia) 45-50k
*Big Time Rush (Columbia) 40-45k
*Hans Zimmer "Man of Steel" Soundtrack (WaterTower) 30-35k
Darius Rucker (Capitol Nashville) 27-30k
*Goo Goo Dolls (Warner Bros.) 27-30k
Queens of the Stone Age (Matador) 25-28k
Florida Georgia Line (Republic Nashville) 24-27k
Blake Shelton (Warner Bros. Nashville) 24-27k
*Lonely Island (Republic) 24-27k
Imagine Dragons (Interscope) 24-27
*Jimmy Eat World (RCA) 21-24k
Justin Timberlake (RCA) 21-24k
*Chrisette Michele (Motown) 21-24k
*Now Country 6 (UMe) 19-21k
John Fogerty (Vanguard) 19-21k
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (Macklemore) 19-21k
Michael Buble (Reprise) 19-21k

If you're cranking out the new Sabbath, btw, the staff at UMPG recommends packing the GPen with Grandaddy Purple. (6/13p)
