Top 15

YOUR TOP 15: Luke Bryan is on track to have the third-biggest debut of 2013; he could land just behind Jay Z's Magna Carta Holy Grail, which opened at 528k. Can the hatless one (who appears on the cover of our print mag this week) gain enough steam over the weekend to have the year’s second-biggest bow? Stay tuned.

Meanwhile, a UMPG intern was also deemed second-highest of the year today, though he didn’t come close to security guard T Shake’s 2013 record of seven joints, three brownies and a cake pop. (8/15p)
