Taylor Swift remains on top next week while Bruno Mars and a surgingMichael Bublé will compete for #2. Not included in today’s Top 15 is Columbia‘s 12/12/12: The Concert For Sandy Relief album. This will surely be a contender for the upper regions of the chart should it come out before the end of the week. If it’s not released until after Sunday, we can expect a very high debut on the following week’s chart. Here’s the picture as we head into the weekend:

Speaking of how things look going into the weekend, we look forward to knocking back a bottle of smooth Rite-Aid scotch in our underwear and rockin’ a Golden Girls marathon. Wonder what the poor folks are up to. [HitsDailyDouble]
