Mumford & Sons remains on top of the chart next week–a week that is utterly bereft of debuts. But Alabama Shakes, on the heels of their Saturday Night Live performance, take a huge leap up the chart, possibly into the Top 5. Here’s how it looks headed into the weekend:

Mumford & Sons (Glassnote) 60-65k

Bruno Mars (Atlantic) 40-45k
Now 45 (Capitol) 35-40k
