Album Chart News (Chart issue week of
July 2, 2016)
The
Billboard 200 chart measures multi-metric album consumption, which includes
traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent
albums (SEA).
Drake’s VIEWS stayed put at No. 1
on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart
(BB200) for a seventh week and Nick
Jonas’ Last Year Was Complicated arrived at No. 2. Views earned 121,000
equivalent album units in the week ending June 16, according to Nielsen Music
(down 10% for the week).
Of
Views’ units for the week, the bulk are comprised of SEA: 74,000 units (down 10%).
That hefty sum translates into 110.5
million streams for the tracks on the album (as each SEA unit is equal to
1,500 streams). Traditional album sales for Views in the week added up to 26,666 (down 16%), song sales were 210,680
while TEA totalled 21,000 (down 6%).
Views
is the first album by a male to spend seven consecutive weeks at No. 1 in
nearly 16 years. Eminem’s The Marshall Mathers LP was the last to do so, as it
racked up its eight total weeks at No. 1 (all in a row) between June 10-July
29, 2000.
Blake Shelton with IF I’M HONEST is a non-mover at No.9 (28,000 units; down 15%; 21,762
Album sales; 33,465 song sales; 3.8 million streams) and Chris Stapleton’s TRAVELLER closed out the region,
ascending 14-10 (27,000 units; up 7%; 20,003 Album sales; 38,394 song sales; 5.4
million streams).
Billboard Top Country
Albums (Chart issue week of
July 2, 2016)
In
his fourth week Blake Shelton with IF I’M HONEST (Warner Bros./Warner Music
Nashville) returned to the summit of Top Country Albums Chart with a 3-1
rise (5-9 Billboard 200) selling 21,762 copies (down 15%; 4-week
total 252,000)
Chris Stapleton with TRAVELLER fell 5-2 Country
(14-10 Billboard 200) selling 20,003 copies (up 7%; 59-week total 1,395,900).
Various
Artists: NOW That’s
What I Call Country, Volume 9 (Sony Music/Universal/UMe) made a debut at No.28 on
the Billboard 200 & No.3 Country selling 15,489 copies.
The
series’ eighth edition bowed at No.1 a year ago (June 27, 2015) with 19,000.
The latest installment in the popular NOW series consisted of their favourite
artists including Kenny Chesney, Luke Bryan, Sam Hunt, Carrie Underwood, Dierks
Bentley and more.
Keith
Urban with RIPCORD (Hit Red/Capitol Nashville/ Universal Music Group
Nashville) rose 28-24
Billboard 200 (6-4 Country; 12,023 sales;
up 20%; 6-week total 172,100)
Dierks
Bentley with BLACK (Capitol Nashville/Universal Music
Group [UMG] Nashville), fell 12-13 Billboard 200 and 4-5 Country selling
11,518 copies (down 44%; 3-week total 119,800)
In
her second chart frame last week’s No.1 Maren Morris with HERO (Columbia Nashville/Sony Music Nashville) fell 5-29 BB200 (1-5 Country; 9,857 sales; down 73%;
2-week total 47,000)
Cole Swindell with YOU SHOULD BE HERE (Warner Bros./Warner Music Nashville [WMN]) fell
43-45 BB200 (held at #7 Country
(selling 7,485 sales; down 5%; 6-week total 124,900)
Joey + Rory with HYMNS (Farmhouse/Gaither | Capitol CMG) in its 18th frame fell
108-110 (#8-10 Country; 6;359 sales; 18-week total 401,460).
Jennifer
Nettles with PLAYING WITH
FIRE (Big Machine/BMLG), fell 9-18 country
with 4,100 sales down 25% (5-week total 59,700).
In
their second chart frames Cassadee Pope with her 4 track Summer EP fell off the top 50 after a No.14
Country debut (selling 3,783 copies). Craig Morgan with A WHOLE LOT MORE TO ME (Black River Entertainment) fell 16-33 Country (3,454 copies debut). Royal Bliss with
THE TRUTH (EP) fell 28-49.
Thankfully
the chart manager’s deemed Little Big Town’s new WANDERLUST (Capitol Nashville | UMGN) set NOT to be classed as
“country”. It arrived at No.105 on the Billboard 200 and #50 Top Albums with 5,720 pure sales.
Instead of releasing a straight-up
country/rock record, Little Big Town released a collaborative project with Pharrell Williams. Little Big Town’s
Karen Fairchild said “The music feels like our worlds have collided in the best
possible way - his infectious grooves paired with our layered vocals and
harmonies. This music is meant to be danced to, sung along with and turned up
loud. It's uplifting and hopeful. We've been a band for a long time and have
had the pleasure of collaborating with so many people, and it's been a complete
joy to make music with Pharrell!” “It’s not a country record,” Karen Fairchild told Billboard. “And it’s not
like anything we’ve ever done”.
Brandy
Clark with her sophomore album, BIG DAY IN A SMALL TOWN
(Slate Creek/ Warner Brothers), arrived at No.84 Billboard 200 & No.8
on Top Country Albums, as well as at No.5 on Americana/Folk Albums selling 7,364
copies becoming her first top 10 on the former tally.
Her sole prior Top
Country Albums entry, 12 STORIES, made a debut at No.195 (2,000 sales) on the BB200 (#168 Top Current Albums as
of Oct 30, 2013), No.28 in the country standings . It peaked at
No.23 in 2013 (selling 3,000 copies).
The new set’s lead single, “Girl Next
Door,” rebounded 41-40 (3.3 million, up 9%) in its 19th week on Country
Airplay.
Clark
followed the big release with appearances on Late Night with Seth Meyers (June
14) and Live with Kelly Wednesday (June 15) to perform the new album’s single
“Girl Next Door,” that Billboard says “casts her as a current, edgy artist with
a clever wit.”
Critical
reception for Brandy Clark’s Big Day In A Small Town:
(10
June 2016) 11 Tracks/ Time: 40:18 Amazon UK - UK iTunes - Amazon.com
"gritty
and visceral" –Associated Press
"When
you memorialize human lives with this level of care, you're writing music
that's meant to last. Like Clark's protagonists, these songs want to survive.
And they will."– Washington Post
“Aggressive
and big-grinned, sophomore album Big Day in a Small Town sounds fantastic; it’s
often a superb piece of recorded music, designed to move people and make them
feel things.” – SPIN
“If Clark’s second album covers classic
country terrain—broke towns, broken dreams, broken hearts—her bite, bleak humor
and blunt strength make her an original. She sweeps through like a cyclone.” –People Magazine
“The 11 vivid stories on Brandy Clark’s robust
follow-up to her magnificent 2013 debut, 12 Stories, will never get old. Music
Row songwriting doesn’t get any better.” – US
Weekly (4 out of 4 stars)
“Big
Day in a Small Town just might make her a commercial star even as it chips away
at narrow notions of who or what belongs in the country mainstream” - Billboard
“Brandy Clark is, hands down, the best
wordsmith in Nashville right now, and she proves it by using old-school country
writing on her new CD, Big Day in a Small Town. Even better, all those songs
are delivered with a pure country twang that is reminiscent of Tammy Wynette,
Loretta Lynn and even Patsy Cline.” – The
Plain Dealer
According
to TIME Magazine she “tells stories that “populate her Town
with characters whose personalities spring in full from the smallest details.”
According
to Rolling Stone, Clark reaches a wide audience with her music that is “tooled alternately for
stadiums and songwriting circles, commercial and public radio, line-dance bars
and coffee shops.”
Brandy Clark
Shows Her True Character(s) With New Album, Big Day in a Small Town
I
love a character. I love to write about characters. I love to surround myself
with characters. I just think they’re interesting. Of course, there’s a lot of
me in all these songs, but I sometimes can write best and sing best if I think
about a character—almost like it’s a movie. And I play the movie out in my mind
as I write it.”
NPR Five short
words add up to one of the most tantalizing, trouble-making phrases in the
English language: "I shouldn't say this, but..." That qualifier
stands at the gateway to gossip, confession and necessary truths, banishing
polite talk in favor of getting somewhere. Brandy Clark's songs often turn on
the phrase, examining what happens right after it falls from the mouth of an
ordinary person. It can set up a joke or wreck a marriage. It can even free a
mind. Clark, one of Nashville's most valued songwriters, doesn't seek out
what's hard to say in order to stage rock-star transgressions. Instead, she
focuses on more intimate challenges people face and risks they take; ones that
take place in private, or even in the silence of self-examination. Throughout her
second studio album Big Day In A Small Town — the bigger-sounding but still
beautifully detailed follow-up to her 2013 solo debut, 12 Stories — Clark
speaks for those often pushed aside within the narratives that dominate the
American scene: rural people, beauty queens who've lost their youthful shine,
single moms muddling through their two-shift days. With humor, compassion and
an ear for small signals of desire, Clark seeks out the turning points and the
dead ends in her characters' lives as they move through hardship, fighting for
happiness and the right to stop holding their tongues.
Spin.com (Rating: 8/10) …..With relief, I can write that Clark the
Artist has taken a few more steps into a sunlit room. Aggressive and
big-grinned, sophomore album Big Day in a Small Town sounds fantastic; it’s
often a superb piece of recorded music, designed to move people and make them
feel things. A few months ago she dropped a hint of the new direction with
“Girl Next Door,” bubblelicious country disco that takes Dolly Parton’s “Baby
I’m Burnin’” and Shania Twain’s “That Don’t Impress Me Much” for a honky-tonk
badonkadonk on a dust-covered terrace....To imagine that Big Day in a Small
Town will sell more copies in 2016 than 12 Stories did three years ago depends
on how fervently one believes Clark will garner the same attention as Lambert’s
ex and his drum loops. Modest insights and modest voices surpassing
expectations are the stuff country radio’s been made of for decades. Simply
put, I don’t know if Clark wants to be a star hard enough. Which is why it’s
fortunate she remains a writer after all.
ToC Critic’s Pick (Rating: Positive)..Great albums include great songs, and Brandy
Clark’s Big Day in a Small Town is fat with them. The singer’s songwriting
relationship with Shane McAnnally is among country’s most delightful pairings.
They’re simply working on another level. Fans of “Girl Next Door,” Clark’s 12
Stories album and, well, this singer in general, expect a certain sassy charm
and tracks like “Daughter” deliver. “Yeah, karma’s a bitch, so I hope you have
a daughter,” she sings during a standout track on Big Day in a Small Town.The
title track (a fusion of Miranda Lambert’s “Famous in a Small Town” and several
Kacey Musgraves songs), “Soap Opera” and “Homecoming Queen” dig deep into the
small-town malaise that Clark could nearly trademark. It’s the thread that
unifies this collection of songs and ideas. Her strong storytelling finds her
characters quietly screaming in desperation for a ticket out of town. Like
Musgraves, Clark loves her tiny hometown, but she paints pictures so starkly
vivid you have to ask.
Sounds Like Nashville by Chuck Dauphin (Rating
Very Positive) …Big Day In A Small Town
kicks off with “Soap Opera,” which might throw the listener off a little with
such a lush opening, but once the lyrics begin – you’ll be hooked. Clark
doesn’t miss a beat from start to finish. The track is as witty and as
well-written as anything else out there. She continues that lovable gift of
small-town spunk on “Girl Next Door,” which is snappy, fun…and maybe, just a
little bit dead center between the eyes....The disc continues on with “Broke,”
which will touch a chord with many – who have ever rolled their own smokes, or
drank a can of Sam’s Choice cola. Again, it’s hilarious, but laced with a lot
of truth. That can also be said of “Daughter.” When I first heard the song, I
had to pause for a second. Did she really just say that? Though this won’t be a
radio single (unless the editors do a masterful job!), it’s going to be the
song that causes the biggest ripple at Clark’s live shows. It’s one of those
compositions that make you scratch your head and go ‘Why didn’t I think of
that?’ It’s “Sen-Fricken-Sational” – a word I just made up....Well, in my
fifteen years of doing reviews, I have only broken the 800-word barrier once.
That must mean I really like this album, right? Yes, I do. I wish I could sum
it up in a deep and introspective way as some of my peers with names like
Gleason, Oermann, or Roland could do. I’m not even going to try. I will simply
say Brandy Clark is a bad ass. That says it all. Maybe I should have just said
that in the first place!
Frankie
Ballard with EL RIO (Warner Bros./Warner Music
Nashville) made a debut at No.68 Billboard 200 (9,000 units) and entered Top
Country Albums at No.9 selling 6,663 copies. It’s Ballard’s
second top 10, following SUNSHINE & WHISKEY, which opened at No.5 with
11,000 sales in 2014. El Rio’s first single, “It All Started With a Beer,” made
a 23-22 hop on Hot Country Songs, as it bulleted at No.18 on Country Airplay
(17.7 million, up 5%)
Frankie Ballard Performs On 'Live With Kelly'
Promoting the album Frankie took the stage on "Live With KELLY"
(June 13).
He performed his current single, "It All Started With A Beer," the lead single off his recently released album, "El Rio." He also took the stage on NBC-TV's "The TODAY Show" (June 14). Ballard also partook in Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb's "Guys Tell All" panel. He represented the single men; offering his relationship advice, and why he says men are slow to respond to text messages.

Critical
reception for Frankie Ballard’s El Rio:
11 Tracks/ Time: 43:03 Amazon
UK - UK
iTunes - Amazon.com
Allmusic (rating: 4 STARS) He may trade in some Spanish lingo in its title, but El Rio finds
Frankie Ballard embracing his Midwestern roots, turning out a record that's a
proud throwback to the heartland rock of the '80s. Unadorned yet muscular, El
Rio easily evokes the lean crackle of prime John Mellencamp, but just in case
you didn't get the point, Ballard covers Bob Seger's "You'll Accomp'ny
Me," the ballad providing one of few quiet moments here. ...Still, the
charm of El Rio is its simplicity: with a handful of key collaborators --
including Chris Stapleton, who co-wrote "El Camino" and
"Cigarette," but producer Marshall Altman is prominent here --
Ballard replicates the appeal of Scarecrow, a record that helped enshrine a
certain idea of tarnished romantic Midwestern rock.
Sounds Like
Nashville (Rating: Positive) A perfect blend of rock and country, El
Rio showcases Ballard’s influences while continuing to push
his music forward. While tracks like his cover of Bob Seger’s “You’ll Accomp’ny
Me” take a look back, he manages to put his own flavor on the song and every
song, whether he wrote it or it is an outside cut. The rock side is apparent
throughout El Rio, but so is Ballard’s
country depth on tracks like the beautiful “Good As Gold” and “It All Started
with a Beer.” A standout release, Ballard more than accomplishes what he set
out to do on El Rio.

Roughstock "Dance With

his life while performing.
Wednesday
night (June 15), emotions were running high for Drew Baldridge who made his
debut on the prestigious stage of the Grand Ole Opry. Drew did a great job at
keeping his composure while soaking in every morning from walking through the
"artist entrance" to rubbing elbows with the likes of Mark Wills,
Larry Gatlin and others who roamed the halls. "I'm in the Grand Ole Opry
right now," Drew told Roughstock with a grin. "I'm going to start
crying just thinking about it! Looking around and seeing all these people that
I've looked up to all over the walls is awesome."
Drew
had the support of his friends and family from back home in Pakota, IL
(population 600) who were all in attendance to watch the rising star experience
one of the highest honors for a country music artist. "I am so excited
because I feel like I'm giving them something to be proud of," Drew said,
his eyes welling with tears. "It's just awesome. I am lucky to have them
here."

The song was a “first-listen hit, but, in this time of pop-rock
crossover, what clinched it for me was hearing it on repeat in the MGM Grand
for four days while in Las Vegas for the Academy of Country Music Awards [held
April 3],” said WJVC Nassau, N.Y., PDPhathead. “If it sounded insanely good blaring throughout the casino, it had to be
a smash.”
Bryan scored his fourth Country Airplay No. 1 from KILL THE LIGHTS, his
fifth studio set, following “Kick the Dust Up,” “Strip It Down” and “Home Alone
Tonight” (featuring Little Big Town’s Karen Fairchild). The success follows the
record-tying five No.1s that he tallied from his prior LP, 2013’s Crash My
Party. Only Brad Paisley’s 5th Gear (2007-08) and Blake Shelton’s Based On a
True Story… (2013-14) also yielded five leaders apiece on the ranking.
Eric
