Year-End Top 15

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.
