200 / Country Album Chart News
Superstar duo Florida
Georgia Line (Tyler
Hubbard and Brian Kelley) nabbed their first No.1 album on the Billboard Top 200 Album chart with the
arrival of ANYTHING GOES (Republic Nashville)
selling 197,105 copies in the week
ending Oct. 19, 2014 according to
Nielsen SoundScan.
“Anything Goes”
is the pair's second full-length studio effort, following the breakthrough
success of juggernaut HERE'S TO THE GOOD
TIMES. That album was released on Dec 4, 2012 and reached No. 4 on the
Billboard 200. It has sold 2,062,778 copies and is still on the chart (rising
56-48 in its 98th chart week; selling 7,040 copies, up 18% on last weeks
5,980)
“Here's To The
Good Times” debuted at #10 (62,758 units sold, then 38,462 and 48,515
in its third week). In its
19th chart frame it sold 30,224 to sail past GOLD at retail with a total of 513,696. After
32-weeks on the chart it “Good Times” marked the fourth-slowest climb to the
top four on the Billboard 200 for a country album since SoundScan started
powering the chart in May 1991. By August 31, 2013 in its 37th week it had sold
PLATINUM
and when the deluxe version dropped on Nov 25, 2013 it shifted 69,000 copies (The 1,337,000 total was the most by any album by a
country duo since Sugarland's Love On The Inside, which has sold 2,308,000
copies since its release in 2008). “Good Times” also spawned the smash single
"Cruise," which spent a record 24 weeks at No.1 on the Hot Country
Songs chart and climbed to No.4 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100.
("Cruise" is also the best selling country digital song ever, with 7
million downloads sold.)
The new album
“Anything Goes” has already collected five top 40 entries on the Hot Country
Songs chart, including the 2-week No.1 hit "Dirt" ( chart frames: July
26, 2014 - August 2, 2014)
Country radio vastly dug FGL’s platinum-certified smash “Dirt” which topped both the Mediabase and Billboard Country Airplay
Charts last week marking their fifth #1 single to date. The duo performed the
lead track on NBC’s Late Night With Seth Meyers on Oct 14th. "We fell in love with 'Dirt' the first time
we heard it and people really seem to love it as much as we do,” shared
FGL’s Brian Kelley. “It definitely
carries a lot of weight and hits you on a lot of different levels. We call it a
life song. And when you hear it, it takes you to a place called chill bump city."
FGL’s Tyler Hubbard adds, “we are so thankful to Country radio and our fans for
all of their support. This wouldn’t have happened without you and we can’t wait
to share all of ANYTHING GOES!”
FGL said there's
something for everyone on “Anything Goes”, but it's not predictable. "I say don't have any expectations
and just put the disc in or put a
playlist on your iPod and just crank it up and enjoy it," sid Kelley. Calling it a
continuation of their debut Here's To The Good Times, FGL's Hubbard said
the new project is an evolution. "I think we've stepped up our game,"
he says. "We've really made an attempt to work hard the last two years and
get better at singing, get better at writing songs, get better at singing in
the studio and performing. In all the different aspects that we do we've tried
to step it up." Their 2015 Anything Goes Tour launches Jan. 15 in Toledo
“Anything Goes”
is the third consecutive country album to top the Billboard 200,
following one-week rules by Blake Shelton's BRINGING
BACK THE SUNSHINE and last week's No.1, Jason Aldean's OLD
BOOTS, NEW DIRT which slipped
1-2 with 90,610 copies sold (down 67%
on last weeks opening, 368,911 sold 2 weeks).
It's the first
time the chart's top slot has gone back-to-back-to-back with three straight
country leaders in over four years. It last happened on the charts dated Oct.
9-23, 2010, when Zac Brown Band's You Get What You Give, Kenny Chesney's
Hemingway's Whiskey and Toby Keith's Bullets In the Gun led the list.
Critical
reception for Florida Georgia Line’s Anything Goes:
CD - UK iTunes (3 Nov) - Smart Choice Music [US Exclusive Deluxe] Amazon.com
Associated Press (Michael McCall)...Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley keep the
mood fun and grooving, with producer Joey Moi bringing plenty of fresh sonic
surprises amid the beats and harmonies. For example, "Sun Daze" could
be undermined by the silly pun of its title, on a song about spending a Sunday
soaking in rays and indulging in at least two brand-name liquors. But Moi's
arrangement brings in whistling, hand claps and a banjo to create a bright
groove that
Billboard (4 STARS).....There's
nothing as overtly game-changing or immediate as "Cruise" on Anything
Goes, and those hoping that "Dirt" meant that Florida Georgia Line
was moving beyond beer-soaked bro-country cliches will be disappointed. But
it's a more consistent
Allmusic (Rating: 3 STARS) Despite the loosey-goosey title, there's not much left to chance on
Anything Goes: it's designed to consolidate Florida Georgia Line's success and
maybe give them a little bit of cred they never amassed on their debut. Those
serious moments, crystallized by the salt-of-the-earth dirgey lead single
"Dirt," are where FGL stumble. Whenever the duo acknowledge their
essential suburbanness -- which they do often, singing about Victoria's Secret,
Bacardi, and Seven Jeans among any other number of lifestyle signifiers --
things flow just fine on Anything Goes. Kelley and Hubbard have an easy
chemistry that lends itself to lubrication by Auto-Tune and the sleek digital
gloss that shimmers over the entire album. ...Anything Goes shines brightest
when they do modulated riffs on "Cruise" or "Get Your Shine
On," relying on party anthems that are bright, laid-, and never, ever
rowdy.
News Day.com (Rating: B) ....What set
Florida Georgia Line apart from the pack, though, was their embrace of hip-hop,
which is less evident on "Anything Goes." Instead, the duo packs as
many syllables as it can into a verse the way many of today's R&B singers
do, though the effect is less soulful and more rhythmic. Neither Kelley or
Hubbard have stand-out voices, but they sure use them well, rarely leaving
their respective sweet spots so that they always sound pretty laid back. "Sippin'
on Fire," which oddly opens with a guitar riff that sounds like the
opening to "Growing Pains," is the closest the guys come to
stretching
musically. They are far more effective
when they stretch lyrically -- especially on the lovely ode to home ownership,
"Dirt," declaring, "You write her name on it, spin your tires on
it." "Dirt" shows that the Florida Georgia Line bros could have
a future once they get tired of living in the present. BOTTOM LINE: Predictable country that's predictably good.
Country Perspective (Rating: 0/10) ....An Avicii ad played on Spotify as I
listened to this album and it sounded just as country as Florida Georgia Line’s
songs on Anything Goes. I had to point
For The Country Record .....But
I never believed for one second that Florida Georgia Line were truly part of
its moving on, never thought that they were really maturing. A group like that
can’t. They are what they are and no amount of market forces will make them
into something they’re not. Even with ‘Dirt’ I went on the record as saying it
wasn’t as good as everyone claimed. True, it was more substantial and vaguely
more “country”-sounding than their prior hits, but underneath all the pretence
there were still clichés, still women peeling painted-on jeans off, still
auto-tune and still an R&B beat behind it. I was disappointed that people
could be that fooled to think the duo were changing.....‘Anything Goes’, their
brand new sophomore album, is proof enough that what will be, will be. In fact,
what will be will often become even worse. A listen through the dozen-track
record reveals not only a collection of meaningless, journey-

Allmusic ..Third-place
finalists on the fourth season of The Voice in 2013, the Swon Brothers
nevertheless secured a major-label deal with Arista Nashville, releasing an
eponymous debut in the fall of 2014. The Swon Brothers, both the act and album,
embrace the professional anonymity of Nashville, preferring gloss to grit and
harmony to twang. This unabashed sentiment does have its perks. It's hard not
to smile along with the Swon Brothers as they amble through 11 songs that have
nothing but pleasantries on their mind. If none of these professionally written
songs have piercing hooks, blame that both on the Brothers' aw-shucks persona
and Mark Bright's even-keel production, which shellacs any accentuated rhythms
or guitar licks with a highly reflective sheen. So bright is the sound that it
doesn't make much of a lasting impact, but as The Swon Brothers plays, it's
nothing less than pleasant and that dogged determination to not offend is a
hard thing to hate.
For The Country Record......Their self-titled debut, released
October 14th by Arista Nashville, is a bit of a mixed bag, but certainly one of
the more promising debuts I’ve listened to in recent years.....A few songs, however,
stand out big time, in both good and bad ways. ‘95’ is easily the worst track
on the album. With lyrics like “A little chill, kick it back, unwind / Let’s
put this day on ice” and vocals that sound completely different from the rest
of the album, I thought for a moment my music player had somehow switched to a
Florida Georgia Line song.....The brothers are at their best when they slow
things down a bit and don’t worry about chasing any current trends. Their
beautiful harmonies soar on ‘Pray For You,’ an uplifting song encouraging love
and prayer instead of judgement when you don’t agree with someone’s choices.
And you can feel the emotion in Zach and Colton’s voices on the breakup ballad
‘Breaking’. Despite its pop sheen, ‘Pretty Beautiful’ is an album highlight for
me, with gorgeous falsetto vocals sprinkled throughout. The album ends on its
highest note, ‘This Side of Heaven’. A story song filled with heartbreaking
honesty ..... The promise is there; now let’s hope the execution matches up.

The New York Journal wrote: There’s a borderlands
sensibility to some of the El Paso foursome’s music—check out “Down by the
River,” the ballad of drug-war violence that opens the album—but the band also
dials in a Mumford-esque folk-anthem sound on “Thought I’d Let You Know,” a
Celtic-punk flavor on “Sailed Away” and, occasionally, a flat-out barroom rock
’n’ roll feel on tracks like “Highway Love.” “We wanted to cross genres as much
as possible,” singer and guitarist Marco Gutierrez says. “We try not to box
ourselves in. We kind of let whatever happens happen with the instrumentation
that we have.” The band took its time—well, more time, anyway—making the album,
their second. Instead of dashing into recording sessions between concert dates,
as they had done previously, Gutierrez, singer and guitarist Nino Cooper,
bassist Colton James and singer and percussionist Travis Stearns holed up for a
solid block of time at the residential recording studio complex Sonic Ranch in

Angaleena Presley with AMERICAN MIDDLE CLASS (Slate Creek) made a debut at No.29 selling around 1,000 copies.
It also landed at #14 on Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart which
was introduced with the purpose of highlighting the sales by new and developing
musical recording artists.
During 2014 Angaleena (best known for being "HOLLER
ANNIE" in the group Pistol Annies) signed with Slate Creek Records (same one as
Brandy Clark) through a distribution agreement with Thirty Tigers. The album was co-produced by Angaleena with her
husband, Jordan Powell, and Angaleena wrote or co-wrote all 12 of the autobiographical
tracks.
Presley called the album a
concept record that tells the story of her life – so far - “Part of what I loved about Garth Fundis and Jim
Burnett at Slate Creek is that they understood where I wanted to go
creatively," she said. "Producing this album was important to me
because of its content - I’ve lived every word of it and knew exactly how I
wanted it to sound.”
Critical
reception for Angaleena Presley’s “American
Middle Class”:
Billboard by Elias Leight (Rating 4 STARS).... Presley's sound is unlikely to break through on current radio, as there
are no drum loops or pop-friendly hooks here.....Presley's refusal to adopt a
radio-friendly sound underscores that American Middle Class is her show. She
brings in star writers on occasion -- including Luke Laird and Bob
DiPierro....She cites Willie Nelson's The Red-Headed Stranger as an inspiration
for American Middle Class, and her album is similarly elegant and spare....Some
of the songs gain spark from their humor. "Dry County Blues" is
cheeky as well as tragic. The hook -- "half the county's laid off, laid up
or getting high" -- points to the pervasiveness of substance abuse while
also relying on the easy cadence of a drinking song. "Knocked Up"
incorporates some kick drum for extra heft. "Here it comes, what granny's
been a-dreadin'," sings Presley, not sounding too upset about a
"belly full of a baby and a shotgun wedding....American Middle Class is a
focused collection of songs. Presley refuses to compromise her sound or ignore
the political and social realities of her community back home in Kentucky.
Billboard (by Chuck Dauphin)..... Angaleena Presley – best known (so far) for
her being a part of the Pistol Annies – is from the same part of Kentucky that
her heroes Loretta Lynn and Patty Loveless are. And, just like those two
legendary ladies, she grew up a “Coal Miners’ Daughter.” That upbringing – and
her being a part of the Country supertrio along with
Rollingstone
(rating: 3.5 STARS) Best known for her
work with Pistol Annies, Angaleena Presley is the latest hard-nosed country
traditionalist to challenge Nashville's frat-party tendencies. On the first
half of her impressive solo debut, Presley fills her disappearing middle-class
blues with sharp, compassionate tales of unfulfilled pensions and steep tuition
bills. Later on, the bona fide coal miner's daughter changes gears with a
series of vulnerable country-soul ballads that find her longing for some
domestic stability. In "Better Off Red," she resigns herself instead
to the life of a misfit songwriter: "'Cause a blade of bluegrass left a
scar on my neck/And it ain't quit hurtin' yet."
American Songwriter Writer of the Week: Angaleena Presley has put her entire experience into
her debut solo album, American Middle Class, out October 14. This Kentucky-born
coal miner’s daughter recently opened up to us about finding inspiration in the
everyday, her love for cooking, and the eternal flame she continues to carry
for Elvis…….

Billboard
Country Airplay Chart Week of November 1, 2014
Jason Aldean extended his chart-topping celebration
as “Burnin’ It Down” (Broken Bow)
stepped 2-1 to become his 12th leader on the Nielsen BDS-driven Country Airplay
tally in his 13th chart frame. This followed the longest-running No.1 in 2014 on
Billboard’s multimetric Hot Country Songs chart (12 straight weeks) and a
head-turning bow atop the Billboard 200 and Top Country Albums last week (278,096
copies sold, charts dated Oct. 25).
“Burnin’” logged
48.663 million audience impressions
(+0.416 million) and received 7,739 radio
plays (+193) during the Oct. 13-19 Nielsen BDS tracking week. The song written
by Rodney Clawson, Chris Tompkins, and Florida Georgia Line members Tyler
Hubbard and Brian Kelley was released on July 22, 2014 as the lead single from
his sixth studio album, OLD BOOTS, NEW DIRT.
Aldean last
topped Country Airplay with “When She Says Baby,” which finished a three-week
run on the March 15 chart. Since his first week at No. 1 on Country Airplay
(May 27, 2006), Aldean entered a tie with Carrie Underwood for the third-most
leaders; Blake Shelton and Kenny Chesney lead with 14 apiece during that span,
while Brad Paisley has notched 13.
Top local
audience reach for “Burnin’ It Down” came from WUSN Chicago (1.4 million impressions), WNSH New York (1.3 million), WUBL
Atlanta (1.2 million), KKBQ Houston
(1.1 million) and WKLB Boston (1.1
million).
Keith Urban widened his lead as the artist with the
most consecutive top 10 singles on Country Airplay (counting only promoted,
non-seasonal titles), as “Somewhere in
My Car” (Hit Red/Capitol Nashville) rode 11-10 to become his 32nd title to reach the chart’s upper tier —
all achieved consecutively since “Your Everything” became his first top 10 on
the Aug. 12, 2000 chart. Urban’s 32 top 10s include 16 No.1s, a feat most
recently achieved with “We Were Us” (with Miranda Lambert) in December 2013.
Urban last visited the top 10 when “Cop Car” peaked at No. 8 on the May 31
chart.
Toby Keith aided by coordinated hourly play on Oct.
14 at iHeart Media-owned country stations, snagged the Hot
Shot Debut at No.31 with
“Drunk Americans” (Show Dog-Universal), his fifth-highest start. He achieved
his best opening-week rank with “Drinks After Work,” which bowed June 29, 2013
at No. 26. “Americans” also took home the weeks Most Increased Audience trophy and earned Most
Added stripes. The song
logged 8.028 million audience impressions, a gain of +8.028 million and received 909 radio plays (+909) thanks to 57 fresh radio commitments (ADDS).
