Album Chart News (Chart issue week of May 21, 2016)
The
Billboard 200 chart measures multi-metric album consumption, which includes
traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent
albums (SEA).
Pop
music icon Drake with his VIEWS album made a debuts at No.1 on
the Billboard Top 200 Album chart (BB200) with an explosive first
week. The set earned 1.04 million equivalent album units in the week ending May
5 in the U.S., according to Nielsen Music. Traditional album sales comprised 851,675 copies. Views was initially released exclusively for
sale through the iTunes Store and to stream via Apple Music on April 29 by
Young Money/Cash Money/Republic Records. On May 6, the album became available
for purchase through other digital retailers and its physical CD was also
released.
Views
is Drake’s sixth straight No. 1 album, and follows the chart topping bows of
What a Time To Be Alive (with Future, in 2015), If You’re Reading This It’s Too
Late (2015), Nothing Was the Same (2013), Take Care (2012) and Thank Me Later
(2010). His only charting album to miss the top was his debut EP, So Far Gone,
which peaked at No. 6 in 2009.
Drake
Smashes Sales, Streaming Records
Exclusivity
pays -- even in the record business. That's what APPLE head of content Larry
Jackson believed after DRAKE sold more than one million copies of his new
album, “Views,” in less than five days when it was available only on
APPLE’s iTUNES download store and its subscription streaming service, Apple
Music, the Wall Street Journal reported. The album sold 632,000 copies in the
first 24 hours!
JACKSON
asserts that DRAKE used the company’s streaming service to market the album and
corral his fans into one place, which precipitated record-setting sales.
"Over the past year DRAKE has hosted 20 episodes of his radio show, OVO
Sound, on APPLE MUSIC’s free Beats 1 radio station, using the show to announce
the album release details and to debut several songs, including his hit
“Hotline Bling,'" WSJ reported. "APPLE also advertised the album on
the iTUNES home page and is running TV ads for the album during NBA playoff
games."
Chris Stapleton’s TRAVELLER the former BB200 No.1 album
rose 9-8 (31,000 units; down 3%),
Billboard Top Country
Albums (Chart issue week of May 21, 2016)
Chris Stapleton with TRAVELLER (Mercury Nashville | UMGN) held at No.1 on Billboard Top
Country Albums with sales of 24,868 copies
in his 53rd week (Total sales 1,278,000).
Martina McBride with RECKLESS (Nash Icon/Big Machine Label Group) made a debut at No.31
on the Billboard 200, No.11 Top 200 Album Sales and No.2 Country with sales of 15,574
copies. She scores her 11th top 10 and first since EVERLASTING debuted as her

Martina became the only woman in the chart’s 50-year

Albums.
"Everlasting"
was McBride's highest-charting album on the Billboard 200 since 2007's WAKING

Martina
McBride Talked Reckless
A Songwriter’s Champion
Nashville
singer-songwriter Sarah Buxton is a co-writer on “Reckless” (along with Heather
Morgan and Zach Crowell) and also sang the demo. “It’s good to see who’s really
coming into their own, like Sarah Buxton right now is writing her ass off,”
says McBride. “We’ve got three cuts [of Buxton’s] on the record, and the first
single [“Reckless”]. It’s fun to see her blossoming. When you see people work
really hard, it’s fun to see it come together.”
On Artistry and Song Choices
“What
I think are the best song choices might not be the best song choices to
somebody else,” says McBride. “I think that’s what makes an artist, because you
are drawn to certain things. When I hear a song as an artist, it’s nothing but
instinct. I hear a song and I really love what it says, I think it’s written
really smart, and it has a good melody. When you listen to as many songs as we
do for a record, the ones that are really great stand out. One will come along
that stands above the rest.”
“Reckless” Ambition
For
McBride, “Reckless” was one of those songs that stood out. In fact, McBride was
so passionate about the song that she was determined to record it, even when
Lady Antebellum had already put “Reckless” on hold. McBride reached out to Lady
A’s Charles Kelley, who told her if she was so passionate about the song, that
she should be the one to record it.
(Fun
Fact: Lady A had a similar moment with their hit song “Downtown,” which was
originally on hold for Miranda Lambert. Kelley reached out to Lambert, who
graciously allowed them to record the song.)
On Nashville’s Songwriting
Community:
“I
think our songwriting community is going through a transition. I feel that,
anyway when I’m out looking for songs. They are straddling that line between
writing for radio and [thinking] maybe there is another way. That maybe there
is something coming around the corner that is different. That’s interesting
too, because I feel that. It’s exciting as an artist to feel the writing
community kind of transitioning, and having the faith and heart to say, ‘I’m
writing because this is what I have to write, not because this might be a hit
on radio.’ It’s exciting like it used to be. I’ve been here a long time so I’ve
got relationships with publishers and songwriters, and I
encouraged
them to send me stuff.”
No “Issue Songs”
“Someone
asked me during an interview, ‘Are there any issue songs on this record?’ and I
was like, ‘No,’ because I never go out looking for those kinds of songs. They
just come to me. With this album, it’s more like every song has a universal
appeal. It’s about life—love stories, redemption, and encouragement. I always
have that thread of hope through everything I do. I feel like it’s one of those
records where people are going to be able to relate their own story to every
single song.”
McBride’s “Dream Team”
Mega
producers Nathan Chapman and Dann Huff signed on to produce McBride’s upcoming
project together. “It’s like a dream team,” said McBride. “It’s interesting how
it came about. I didn’t expect it. I went to each
of
them separately to do four or five cuts on the record, but let them know I was
also talking to Dann or I was talking to Nathan. They both said at separate
times, ‘I wish we could just do it together,’ and I was like, ‘Far be it from
me to stand in your way. Your wish is coming true.’ They complement each other
and are both super gifted musicians and producers. I feel like I’m in really
good hands with the music.”
Critical
reception for Martina McBride’s Reckless:
10 Tracks/
Time: 35:23 Amazon UK - UK iTunes - Amazon.com
Allmusic (Rating: 3 STARS) …Reckless
isn't exactly an accurate title for Martina McBride's first album for Nash
Icon, the classy home for old Nashville pros constructed by Big Machine's Scott
Borchetta. As McBride's first full-fledged country album since 2011's Eleven,
Reckless proceeds carefully, conscious of the constraints of commercial country
radio and her role as a veteran. All through the album there are slight, subtle
hints of the modern world -- a passing lyrical reference tempered by crisp
digital production or sequenced rhythms .... the album winds up getting a
little mellow, drifting down supple back ways where the only intent appears to
a pleasant placidity, but this softness is salvaged by
how the music breathes:
for as smooth as the surface is, there is a palpable human heart beating
underneath the gloss. Reckless winds up feeling of a piece, a record where the
individual songs don't matter as much -- they'd stand out on the radio but feel
interconnected here -- as the mood itself. It's an album that showcases a
Martina McBride who is embracing her middle age, who finds sustenance in her
musical roots but resists succumbing to easy nostalgia. It's warm, classy, and
relaxed, music designed to comfort and sustain.

Roughstock (Rating: Positive) ... There’s a maturity in these songs that suits Martina as she is 25
years into her career after all. Keith Urban shows up to supply harmony vocals
on “Diamond” while alt-country king Buddy Miller guests on “The Real Thing.”
The fact that McBride takes a chance on some of these rootsy-leaning story
songs should be championed here as she is clearly proving that they have a
place with mainstream country as they always have over the years.
Taste Of Country (Rating: Positive) Few albums released in 2016
will have the lyrical integrity of Reckless, Martina McBride's first album on
Nash Icon Records. Each of the 10 songs hits like red wine on an empty stomach,
with the buzz growing stronger the more you sip. “Reckless” is an outlier
sonically, but representative of a very personal album from McBride. The song
tells her and husband John’s story. “Just Around the Corner” is a ballad of
inspiration for a woman who admittedly struggled with confidence in recent
years.
Key
Tracks: “Reckless,” “The Real Thing,” “”Low All Afternoon,” “We’ll Pick Up
Where We Left Off”
Country
Music People (Rating:
2 STARS)…it becomes increasingly evident
there is one major problem with RECKLESS as an album, the material here is very
lacklustre
USA Today (Rating:
Positive) …This is country music as it should be: one
of the genre’s greatest female vocalists according to many of her peers, in the
center of the action as she has been since her recording debut 24 years and 18
million album sales ago. McBride's latest release, Reckless, brings her back to
country music following her exploration of classic R&B on Everlasting in
2014. “....McBride,
49, knows that nothing comes easy these days, particularly for female singers
in a genre already saturated with eager young contenders...“It’s
always been a challenge for women to get on country radio,” she says. “And I
had a hard time finding songs for this record because there just isn’t a well
full of songs for female artists.
CMC Chat (Rating: Very Positive)…McBride now returns to her pop country
roots with a new album Reckless, and the 49-year-old mother of three has never
sounded better.....McBride has always thrived when delving into matters of the
heart. Songs like
“Low
All Afternoon” is full of heartache, while the jaw-dropping “We’ll Pick Up
Where We Left Off” just solidifies her spot as an emotional lighthouse in
modern country music...If country radio gives “Reckless“ a fighting chance,
2016 could be a very big year for Martina McBride. It already is though for
fans of this timeless country singer who has returned to her heyday with a
powerful and nearly flawless return to form album.

Lonestar with NEVER ENDERS made a debut at No.48
selling around 600 copies.
Critical
reception for Lonestar’s Never Enders:
10
Tracks/ Time: 36:00 Amazon UK - UK iTunes - Amazon.com
NASH Country Weekly’s Alanna
Conaway proclaimed: “’Never Enders’ is an
invigorating reminder of the untouchable harmonies that distinguished them from
every other band in the late ‘90s, and even still to this day.”
One Stop Country said: “Lonestar doesn’t need any studio frills or additives of pop infusing
their songs to make them work; they just simply put their strong talents on the
table and it works on this album, just as it has on those that have come before
it. Lonestar’s comfort zone becomes a refreshing reminder of how country songs
and their lyrics can still impact a listener.”
Roughstock (Rating; Positive) Iconic
band returns with debut for new label Shanachie Enertainment. Lonestar’s new
album starts off with a hopeful love song in the title track “Never Enders” and
instantly showcases why the band has become one of Nashville’s best-known
bands. While they’ve gone through their own ups and downs as a band, they’ve
proven they’re never enders themselves as they move onto a new record label for
the release of this record.
Allmusic (Rating: 3 STARS)…From the insistent arena-country anthem of
the title track to the preponderance of shiny sentimental ballads, this feels
like a revival of late-'90s country, but what makes Never Enders work isn't
that it succumbs to nostalgia, but rather that it relies on craft. The songs
may not be grabbers, but they're sturdy, melodic constructions given a lift by
an enveloping, polished production that effectively softens the rougher edges
of McDonald's voice; he's hardly gravelly, but he is nicely weathered. All of
these elements help turn Never Enders into an album that feels radio-radio by
the rule books of 1997, but that's its appeal: it is
Lonestar celebrating who they
are, from their country-pop roots to their middle age. Such warm
self-acceptance turns this album into a cozy, pleasurable affair.

Billboard Hot Country Songs
(Chart issue week of May 21, 2016)
“H.O.L.Y.” (Republic Nashville), the new single from Florida Georgia Line (Tyler
Hubbard, Brian Kelley), vaulted 39-1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs
chart (dated May 21). Written by Nate Cyphert, William Larsen and busbee (aka
Michael Busbee), “H.O.L.Y.” (named from the song’s “high on loving you” chorus)
is the first single from FGL’s third studio full-length, Dig Your Roots, due in
August.

On Country Digital Songs, “H.O.L.Y.” entered at the summit with 125,000
downloads in its first week (ending May 5), according to Nielsen Music. It also
started atop Country Streaming Songs with 5.8 million first-week U.S. streams.
Following its first full week of airplay, “H.O.L.Y.” bumped 26-25 on Country
Airplay, up 6% to 10.7 million in audience.
The track’s 39-1 vaulted on Hot Country Songs is the third greatest in
the history of the chart (which launched as an all-encompassing genre survey in
October 1958) and Florida Georgia Line’s second-best. Jason Aldean’s “Burnin’
It Down” scorched 42-1 in its second week (Aug. 9, 2014), leading for 14 weeks
total. FGL’s “Dirt” ranks second, having leapt 40-1, also in its second week
(July 26, 2014).
(Why does “H.O.L.Y.” make such a jump? It debuted on the May 14 tally due
only to its first two-plus days of airplay following its April 29
arrival, as the Hot Country Songs chart’s airplay tracking week runs
Monday-Sunday. Sales and streaming are measured Friday-Thursday, however, so
the song soared to No.1 on Hot Country Songs with the addition of its first
week of those two metrics.)
In addition, the track’s two-week trip to No. 1 on Hot Country Songs is
the fastest since Chris Stapleton’s “Tennessee Whiskey” crowned the chart in
its second frame (Nov. 21, 2015).
“H.O.L.Y.” is FGL’s fifth Hot Country Songs No. 1. Its first, “Cruise,”
holds the record for the lengthiest stay on top: 24 weeks (2012-13). Notably,
“H.O.L.Y.” marked a maturity in the pair’s sound. “Seth England, our manager, sent us the song, and we knew it was a big
one,” FGL’s Tyler Hubbard told Billboard. “We just weren’t sure it was for us. After listening a lot, we knew it
was the exact direction we wanted to go. There were three instances where our
wives asked us about ‘H.O.L.Y.,’ and when we said we were considering it for
FGL, they said we had to cut it. We feel like the song is anointed.”
Says Big Machine Label Group executive vp/Republic Nashville president
Jimmy Harnen, “As we all know, music and
art are subjective; beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Artists, managers and
record executives have a responsibility to find music that inspires and moves
people, because art that doesn’t sell is an obsession with a storage problem
... When we played ‘H.O.L.Y.’ for country radio programmers and fans in the months
prior to release, it completely connected with them, evoking huge emotion and
reaction.”
For her top 10 performance on NBC’s The Voice on May 5, Mary Sarah
chose Tammy Wynette’s 1968 No.1 country classic, offering a
true-to-the-original rendition. It opened at No. 21 on Country Digital Songs,
shifting 13,000 downloads and arriving at No.36 on Hot Country Songs.

Congrats
to Dierks Bentley, Royce Risser, Shane Allen, David Friedman and the Capitol promo team on scoring this
week’s No. 1 with “Somewhere On A Beach.”
The song is the first single from Bentley’s new album BLACK.

"Somewhere
On A Beach" is Bentley's 14th career #1 and is the first single from his
forthcoming album, "Black," which streets Friday May 27th.
The
infectious track has also earned GOLD status by the RIAA ahead of the album’s
release and spends its second week atop the Canadian radio charts. The fastest
rising single of Bentley’s career, “Somewhere On A Beach” continues to resonate
with fans for the fourth week on the all-encompassing Billboard Hot Country
Songs chart.
“‘Somewhere
On A Beach’ is setting up our summer just like we wanted and putting fans in
the mood to party out on the tour,” shares Bentley. “It’s hard to believe your
14th No. one hit could be your fastest rising. I’m blown away at the reception
of the new music, and I can’t wait to start peeling back more layers of the
album with the other songs.”
Bentley
continues to exceed expectations with the “autobiographical” (The Tennessean)
and “ambitious material” (USA Today) found on BLACK, as he explores breakups,
hookups, mess-ups and everything in between. Bentley embarked on the 40-city
2016 SOMEWHERE ON A BEACH TOUR with Randy Houser, Cam and Tucker Beathard on
Thursday (May 12) in Holmdel, NJ.
