Luke Bryan has crashed the Billboard party for a second week in a row. The country crooner's fourth studio album, "Crash My Party" sits atop the Billboard 200 for the second week, besting new releases from John Mayer, Jimmy Buffet and Earl Sweatshirt.

"Crash My Party" moved 155,000 copies this week. Though that's down considerably from last week's 527,000 copies, it's still massively impressive considering Bryan's sales last week were the third best of the year. (He is surpassed by Justin Timberlake's "The 20/20 Experience" and Jay Z's "Magna Carta Holy Grail.)

A single of the same name led "Crash My Party."

As mentioned, Bryan's effort was enough to keep John Mayer's "Paradise Valley" from the top spot on the Billboard 200, despite the record's musical strength. "Paradise Valley" sold 144,000 copies in its first week, debuting at No. 2. This is Mayer's first album since 2006's "Continuum" to not debut at the top of the charts.

R&B singers Tyrese, Ginuwine and Tank's collaboration project TGT debuted at No. 3, selling 76,000 copies of their album "Three Kings." Jimmy Buffet, who released "Songs From St. Somewhere" last week, started his chart run at No. 4 with 55,000 copies and Odd Future member Earl Sweatshirt's first studio album "Doris" debuted at No. 5 with 49,000 copies.

The rest of the top 10 was filled out with Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" at No. 6 (46,000 copies), "Now 47" (33,000 copies), the "Teen Beach Movie Soundtrack (32,000 copies), A$AP Ferg's "Trap Lord" (32,000) and Jay Z's "Magna Carta Holy Grail."

Next week, the Billboard 200 will face new releases from Avenged Sevenfold, Ellie Goulding, Big Sean and Franz Ferdinand.
