200 / Country Album Chart News
Coldplay crashed in at No.1 on
the Billboard Top 200 Album chart (BB200) with GHOST STORIES, collecting its
fourth No.1 album and the biggest sales week of the year selling 382,665 copies in the week ending May 25,
according to Nielsen SoundScan.That bow trumped the previous largest week of
2014, when Eric
Church's "The Outsiders" sold 287,668 in the week ending Feb. 16. It’s
the fourth straight No.1 studio effort for Coldplay. It follows 2011's
"Mylo Xyloto," which entered atop the list with 447,000. The group
previously hit No. 1 with 2008's "Viva La Vida Or Death and All His
Friends" (721,000 debut) and 2005's "X&Y" (737,000).
Brantley Gilbert scored his first No.1
on Billboard’s Top Country Albums
chart, as his third studio album, JUST
AS I AM (Valory/Big Machine Label Group), landed at No.2 on the BB200 and at
the country summit with 211,288 copies sold.
Gilbert previously charted as high as No.2 with his breakthrough second
album, 2011’s HALFWAY TO HEAVEN,
which crossed the PLATINUM 1 million-sold mark in April 2014. That album when
it was first released on March 16, 2010 opened at No.112 on the BB200 selling 4,851
copies, the week when the #1 Billboard album belonged to Lady Antebellum’s
monster NEED YOU NOW which posted 93,061 sales. “Halfway To Heaven” dropped off
the BB200 after a week, returned for three more weeks in 2011.
Originally a release for Average Joes Entertainment in 2010, the album was
taken by Brantley Gilbert to The Valory Music Company and re-issued with a Deluxe Edition featuring a remixed
album and re-recorded version of “Country Must Be Country Wide” along with
three other new tracks produced by Dann Huff. The deluxe version opened with
sales of 50,822 copies on September 21,
2011 (chart issue week of October 1, 2011) making a No.4 BB200 re-entry and a #2
Country Album, taking sales to 185,377. By March 21, 2012 it had reached the
½-million GOLD status. It finally moved to Catalog status with an entry at #21
having logged 105 weeks on Billboard 200 (#4 peak). The chart week of May 31,
2014 Gilbert's "Halfway To Heaven" was still selling 4,500 copies
(1,021,00 Total sales) and stood at No.68 on the Billboard 200 which was its
highest position so far during its Catalog Album run.
Gilbert first charted on the independently-distributed label Average Joes
back in 2009 with his debut album, "A
MODERN DAY PRODIGAL SON" (released Oct 27, 2009). Some 5 months later
by the time of the chart week of April 3, 2010 it was at #71 on the Country
chart selling 554 copies (9,544 total)
Since joining Valory, Gilbert has notched three No1s on Country Airplay,
including the new album’s lead track, “Bottoms Up.” Latest single “Small Town
Throwdown” (featuring Valory labelmates Justin Moore and Thomas Rhett) climbed
28-26.
On May 19th Gilbert was surprised by his label with a #1 party and plaque
presentation at his home in Athens. Big Machine Label Group Pres./CEO Scott
Borchetta presented him with a RIAA certified GOLD plaque for “Kick It In The
Sticks," and certified PLATINUM hardware for singles “Country Must Be
Country Wide,” “You Don’t Know Her Like I Do,” and “Bottoms Up.”
Brantley did not make any major TV appearances during release week, he
instead teamed with Harley-Davidson for a six-day promotional tour. It started out
in Athens, GA and concluded Mon, Memorial Day (May 26) at Arlington National
Cemetery. The ride was designed to raise awareness for the military charity Folds
Of Honor.
The trek saw him lead a motorcade of motorcycle riders through 11 cities,
making stops at retailers, concert venues and the Indy 500. He hosted radio remotes
this on May 20th from his alma mater, Jefferson High School, where he spoke
exclusively with PELLEGRINO for a “10 Questions” feature. Brantley’s hometown visit wrapped up with a
sold-out show at the Georgia Theatre, before embarking on his motorcycle ride.
Notably, since the start of 2013, only three country acts have seen
an album sell more than 200,000 in a week: Gilbert, Church and Luke Bryan, when
his "Crash My Party" album started with 528,000.

Critical reception for
Brantley Gilbert’s “Just as I Am”:
11
Tracks/ Time: 45:01 CD - MP3 - UK iTunes Smart Choice Music (Deluxe Edition) - Amazon.com
USA Today (Rating 2 STARS) Coupling '80s-rock machismo with
backroads buzzwords, these songs play like set-list padding. Gilbert even says,
"Let me see 'em lighters" at one point, right before a guitar solo (Brian
Mansfield) Download:Small Town Throwdown
Allmusic (Rating: 4 STARS) ....Its title is a shrug, but it's also defiant, an
admission that Brantley Gilbert can't be anything but who he is -- a stance
adopted by outlaw country singers since the early '70s, or perhaps
earlier....It's a muscular and knowing collection of contemporary country --
country that feels rooted in wayward traditions while still nodding at the
conventions of Nashville.
Unlike Eric Church -- a singer who certainly
influenced this 2014 set -- Gilbert neither favors the sheer noise of arena
rock nor celebrates the swaggering outsider stance of Church. Gilbert doesn't
romanticize, which is what gives Just as I Am its
 |
| Click Graphic to ENLARGE |
resonance: he's an unfussy songwriter, a singer without affection, a musician
with good instincts that never celebrate his taste....there's a clear
indication he knows what he's doing -- but he's not writing for an audience,
he's inhabiting his time and speaking plainly and clearly, and that's why Just
As I Am works so well; he's an outlaw with no desire to rebel, an insider who
doesn't belong, so his music exists just outside of the perimeters of what is
accepted and is all the more powerful for it.
Roughstock (Rating: 3.5 STARS)....Just As I Am finds Gilbert
confidently showcasing even more bravado (“If You Want A Bad Boy”), swagger
(“Lights Of My Hometown”) and — in some places — heart (“I’m Gone”) than either
of the earlier records....Fans looking for an evolutionary record with the raw
grit found on Halfway To Heaven won’t find that here but it is a confident,
well-made album with much of what has made Brantley Gilbert the big rising star
that he is and will keep his massive fan base completely happy.
(Associated Press by Chris Talbott) ...The tracks on "Just as I
Am" follow the blueprint for modern country success. There's the drinking
song — first single "Bottoms Up" is already a No. 1 hit. There's a song
about his hometown called "Lights of My Hometown." He makes sure he
defines himself for his female fans on the opener, "If You Want a Bad Boy,"
pays tribute to friends and family members that died too young ("One Hell
of an Amen") and doesn't forget the all-star team-up ("Small Town Throwdown"
with labelmates Justin Moore and Thomas Rhett)....If you have bought into
mainstream country's modern sound, "Just as I Am" will be one of your
year's biggest albums. And if not, well, settle in, this one's going to be on
the radio for a while.
Under The Gun (Rating: 7/10)..There is no
doubt that those who already dislike country music will not be moved to give
the entire another chance after hearing Just As I Am, but the millions of
diehard fans that already exist will likely find something to enjoy on Brantley
Gilbert’s latest. It’s a strong testament to Gilbert’s staying power in an
industry with more turnover now than ever before, but it also does very little
to set him apart from other popular male country stars of the moment. By the
end of 2014 it’s unlikely anyone will even remember this album came out, and if
they do it will likely only be due to whatever single spent the most time on
the charts and not because people are talking about what an enjoyable, cohesive
experience is offered by the record as a whole. That’s surely enough to give
Gilbert a few more years of touring, but he will need to innovate between now
and album number four if he wants to remain in the limelight much longer.
For The Country Record (UK)..‘Just As I Am’ also
allows plenty of opportunity for Brantley to show his softer, more emotional
side. ‘I’m Gone’ feeds into a more country sounding vein with a mandolin intro,
detailing the slow failing of a relationship, summed up by the hook line, “I’m
not going… I’m gone”, insisting that the other party is still desperately
holding on. Although it comes across slightly accusatory at times, there’s a
depth to it that many will attribute to his broken engagement with Jana Kramer,
and overall it’s a decent album cut....There’s a vulnerability and truthfulness
to the seemingly autobiographical track that really sells it, and what’s more,
a true country sound, showing us what he’s really capable of in this format. Of
course, he could carry on with his Gun N’ Roses machismo and redneck
sensibilities and make a ton of dollah, but the fact that this could have been
the mantra of ‘Just As I Am’ yet he continues to fight his corner, means I’m
still in his.

Tracks/ Time: 45:38 CD - MP3 - UK iTunes - Amazon.com
Allmusic (Rating: 3 STARS)...The market for mud-bogging compilation albums is not a
crowded one and country rap artist/entrepreneur Colt Ford has owned it since
the 2010 release of his first Mud Digger collection. Why mess with a formula
that works? Mud Digger, Vol. 5 has the rush of a Monster energy drink but goes
down easy like a Busch Light, with 13 more country rock/pop/rap tracks by
artists like Bubba Sparxxx, Cap Bailey, the Lacs, and Ford himself.
Outside of the Top 25 Country Albums saw 2 debuts firstly
at No.36 from USA The Voice country
runner up Jake Worthington releasing his set “The Voice: The Complete Season 6 Collection” (Republic).
Secondly making a No.43 Country bow was The
Garden Spot Program, 1950 (Omnivore) from Hank Williams. This release
followed hot on the heels of the collectable 10" brown vinyl Record Store Day EP.
The Garden Spot Programs, 1950, features
24 performances, unheard for 64 years. Rescued from obscurity, these shows
originally aired over 6 decades ago, and The Garden Spot Programs, 1950
collects material from the four of them now known to exist. From hits to
standards to songs rarely (if ever) performed, this is pure Hank Williams,
including playful, between song banter. According to the press release the
songs have been fully restored to incredible quality and are more like being in
the studio when they were recorded than actually listening to them on the
radio! The CD packaging contains rare photos from the collection of set
co-producer and Williams biographer, Colin Escott, as well as new liners. Also
available on LP, the first pressing will be on limited-edition, translucent red
vinyl (with black vinyl to follow), and contains Escott’s informative notes and
a download card. “It’s incredible to me
that we’re still finding new recordings by my dad. Great ones, at that! No one
even suspected that these recordings existed. We partnered with Omnivore Recordings
for this release, and I especially love it that they’re taking my dad back to
vinyl.” said Jett Williams (Source & Full Track Listing - Omnivore Recordings Press)

Country Airplay Chart Week of June 7, 2014
Luke Bryan continued his record run at Nos.1 and 2
on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart, as “Play
It Again” (Capitol Nashville) spent a second week at No.1. The #1 song
logged 49.045 million audience
impressions (+3.865 million; up 9% on the previous week) receiving 7,383 radio
plays (+314).
At #2 Florida
Georgia Line’s “This Is How We Roll” (Republic Nashville), featuring Bryan,
bulleted for a third week at its No.2 peak to date (46.755 million audience, up
5 percent). Bryan is the first artist to monopolize the chart’s top two spots
simultaneously dating to the ranking’s inception on Jan. 20, 1990.
Bryan is the
first artist to command all four of Billboard’s currently active country
songs charts simultaneously. As “Play” crowned Country Airplay for a second
week, the song topped the May 19 airplay/sales/streaming-based overall Hot
Country Songs chart for a sixth week and Country Digital Songs for a seventh
week and rose 2-1 on Country Airplay and 3-1 on Country Streaming Songs.
There are only
two artists that have come close to something similar since 1958, when multiple
country rankings were rolled into a singular chart, Taylor Swift and legend
Buck Owens doubled up on their top spots. Swift’s ‘We Are Never Ever Getting
Back Together’ hit No. 1 the same week ‘Red’ was released as a preview cut,
rocketing to No. 2, in Oct. 2012. Owens’ ‘Together Again’ and ‘My Heart Skips a
Beat’ earned him a double-whammy in June/July 1964, when the songs traded
places at the top — and stayed there for three weeks.
"Play It
Again" is about a song that helps two people fall in love. Luke says he and his wife, Carolyn, had one of those songs when they were
dating in college. “Our go-to song all through college was an old Lenny Kravitz
song called – (sings) I just can’t get you off of my mind,’” says Luke. “That’s
kind of like Carolyn’s ‘Oh my God, that is her song.’”

PLATINUM, due June 3. First single “Automatic” continued its rise,
shifting 6-4 in its 16th week - “I’m damn glad to have my spot here,” says
