YOUR TOP 15: Hatless Country superstar Luke Bryan is headed for a second week at #1, while John Mayer is the week's top debut. As many as eight of the Top 15 albums will be new releases. Here's how it looks headed into the weekend:

Luke Bryan (Capitol Nashville) 165-175k
*John Mayer (Columbia) 145-155k
*TGT (Atlantic) 65-70k
*Jimmy Buffett (Mailboat) 55-60k

The self-released new one from Jimmy Buffett will mobilize the singer/songwriter's army of parrotheads, of course. UMPG's security staff will commemorate the event with the "House Margarita," which is basically a pipe made out of a lime. (8/22p)
