Album Chart News (Chart issue week of
February 18, 2017)
The
Billboard 200 chart measures multi-metric album consumption, which includes
traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent
albums (SEA).
Hip-hop trio Migos scored its first No.1 on the
Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart (BB200) with the arrival of CULTURE. The set —
which was led by the No.1 Billboard Hot 100 single “Bad and Boujee,” featuring Lil Uzi Vert — launched atop the list
with 131,000 equivalent album units
earned in the week ending Feb. 2, according to Nielsen Music. Culture, Migos’
second album, was released on Jan. 27 through Quality Control/300
Entertainment.
The act had
previously peaked as high as No.17 on the Billboard 200 with its debut set,
YUNG RICH NATION, in August 2015.
Culture’s debut
was driven by streams of its songs, as streaming equivalent album units
accounted for 59% of the set’s first-week total (77,000 of 131,000). The album
sold 44,000 in traditional album sales and earned 10,000 in track equivalent album
units.
Brantley Gilbert with THE DEVIL DON’T SLEEP made a debut at No. 2 on the new Billboard 200, with 77,000 units earned in its first week (66,000 from traditional album sales — it was also the
top selling album of the week).
It’s the third
top five-charting effort for the country singer, following JUST AS I AM (No. 2
in 2014) and HALFWAY TO HEAVEN (No. 4 in 2011).
The Devil Don’t Sleep marked the highest-charting country
title on the Billboard 200 since the Nov. 19, 2016-dated tally, when Kenny
Chesney’s COSMIC HALLELUJAH debuted and peaked at No. 2. Gilbert’s new album
also starts at No. 1 on the Top Country Albums chart, securing the artist his
second leader on that list, after Just as I Am.

Brantley Gilbert with his fourth studio THE DEVIL DON’T SLEEP (Valory/Big
Machine Label Group) debuted at No.1
on Billboard’s Top Country Albums Chart
(dated Feb. 18), shifting 77,000 equivalent album consumption
units in the week ending Feb. 2, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 66,214 were from
traditional album sales, making the set the top-selling album across all
genres.
Chart History: Brantley
Gilbert scored his first No.1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart, when 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, Gilbert then took the album to
The Valory Music Company and re-issued it 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; taking its total to 185,377) making
a No.4 BB200 re-entry and a #2
Country Album.
By March 21,
2012 it had reached the 0.5 million GOLD status. By August 31, 2013 it finally
moved to Catalog status having logged 105 weeks on Billboard 200 (#4 peak) with
916K total sales. The chart week of May 31, 2014 Gilbert's "Halfway To
Heaven" was still selling 4,500 copies and had sold Platinum at retail
(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)
Critical
reception for Brantley Gilbert’s The Devil Don't Sleep:

Tracks/ Time: 1:00:21 (26 Tracks Deluxe) Amazon UK - UK iTunes - Amazon.com
Sounds Like Nashville (Chuck Dauphin; Rating: Positive).. You know that old saying about not judging a
book by its cover? I think that term would definitely apply to Brantley
Gilbert. It’s easy to label Gilbert as an edgy Southern Rocker, with all of his
tattoos and chains, and never get to the true heart of who he is. If you do so,
you are making a serious
mistake....There are plenty of opportunities that
Gilbert takes to show his attitude here, but even those are a little different
than fans are used to. In “Bullet In A Bonfire,” his anger at his target is
more than warranted, and “Bro Code” is a friendly warning to a pal that he
might just be in danger of losing his girl if he doesn’t take care of business.
Even in those moments, however, he does stretch some. “The Weekend” is about as
adventurous as he’s ever gotten from a production standpoint, and “In My Head”
is pure ear candy with its’ seductive melody...and the closing “Three Feet Of
Water” is going to surprise many who think they know Brantley Gilbert. Trust
me, the surprise is worth it.
I’ve said it many times, and I’ll say it
again. I probably don’t fit into what the target demographic is for a Brantley
fan. That doesn’t matter, however. This music is just like the man himself –
real (tattoos or not!).
Allmusic (Rating: 4 STARS) …the 2017 sequel to Just as I Am -- makes it plain that Gilbert intends
to separate himself from his party-hearty brethren....Pensive, sure -- Gilbert
can make a weekend out partying seem like a brooding affair -- but he rarely
seems dour on the bigger, bolder tunes, all of which sound like they're just on
the verge of cutting loose. This reticence toward rocking accentuates how
Gilbert really doesn't belong among modern country's bros. He's more of a
romantic, specializing in lightly soulful slow-burners that wind up
complementing his minor-key anthems.... At 16 tracks, The Devil Don't Sleep is
a little bit long -- an impression exacerbated by its slow tempos -- but its
individual components are strong, which means even if the album doesn't quite
have momentum it's nevertheless always satisfying to sample.
Digital Journal (Rating: A) After the spitfire "Tried To Tell Ya," Gilbert shows his soft
side on the gorgeous ballad "In My Head." Equally melodically-charming
are the ballads "Way Back" and "Baby Be Crazy." "Outlaw
In Me" is an acoustic masterpiece, while "Bullet In A Bonfire"
is a powerhouse tune. The title track "The Devil Don't Sleep" would
make a solid choice for a future radio single. It closes with the bittersweet
ballad "We're Gonna Ride Again" and with the piano-driven "Three
Feet Of Water."
Taste Of Country (Rating: Positive) …Brantley Gilbert is singing to two different girls on many of the best
songs on The Devil Don’t Sleep. The country-rocker clearly has wife Amber on
his mind during tender moments like “Outlaw In Me.” But his dirtiest memories
are very un-matrimonial.
Once again “The Weekend” singer proves
he’s one of country music’s most dynamic singer-songwriters. Across the 16
songs found on a massive standard version of the album he sings of love, love
lost, abuse against women, parties, faith and the death of a friend. The thread
that ties it all together is unbreakable as long as Gilbert remains committed
to singing his diary....

Lauren Alaina with her second full length, ROAD LESS TRAVELLED (19/Interscope/Mercury
Nashville/Universal Music Group Nashville), arrived at No.3 on Top Country Albums (No.31 Billboard 200) with 13,000 equivalent album units. Of that
sum 9,717 were pure sales
She released a
5 track self-titled EP on October 2, 2015 (Mercury Nashville Interscope 19)
selling 1,600 copies to debut and peak at #28
Top Country Albums (chart dated Oct 3, 2015)
On Hot Country
Songs, Road’s title-cut lead single, which Alaina wrote with Jesse Frasure and
Meghan Trainor, journeyed to a new peak (17-12).
Promoting the
album Lauren appeared on ABC-TV's "Good Morning AMERICA" (Jan 31).
She talked with co-host Robin Roberts about her new album, "Road Less
Traveled," and her struggles with bulimia. Watch the full interview here. Alaina also performed "Doin'
Fine," from the new album.
Critical
reception for Lauren
Alaina’s Road Less Traveled:
12 Tracks/
Time: 41:59 Amazon UK (7 Feb) - UK iTunes - Amazon.com
Sounds Like Nashville (Rating: Positive) Alaina branches out of emotional tunes to deliver “My Kinda People,”
“Queen of Hearts” and “Next Boyfriend,” which all keep it light, fun and can
serve as summertime anthems. “Think Outside the Boy” and “Crashing the Boys
Club” appeal directly to female empowerment and should be heard by girls
everywhere. She serves as a role model, reminding fans that there is life way
beyond boys and being a female doesn’t hold you back from doing anything.
In 2016 Alaina came out about her battle
with bulimia. She expresses what she went through in “Pretty” as well as title
track, and current single, “Road Less Traveled.” In both songs, as well as in
real life, she comes out triumphant. The feel-good songs bring the album full
circle showing how far she has come since her days as an American Idol.
Allmusic
(Rating: 3.1/2 STARS) ..It announces a new Lauren Alaina, one who is
happy to be a country diva in the vein of Carrie Underwood. Wildflower, her
2011 album, also carried a
debt to Underwood but it retained a bit of a twang,
whereas Road Less Traveled is a big, bright country confection. Alaina co-wrote
every one of the 12 songs and whether they're ballads or chipper pop tunes,
they're usually sturdy numbers. She may drift into the saccharine when she
slows the tempo -- the closing "Pretty" is a self-empowerment anthem that
attempts to spin Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful" toward Middle
America -- but the faster cuts are usually jubilant and help propel Road Less
Traveled, turning it into a strong modern country-pop album.

Album Sales Chart
No other albums

methodology top 50 Top Country Album chart.
On
the Country Album Sales chart Tift Merritt with STITCH OF THE WORLD (Yep Roc Records) made a debut at #19 (#10 Americana/Folk Album Sales)
selling 1,974 copies.
The
album was recorded in Los Angeles while Merritt was six months pregnant, after
which she relocated to her hometown of Raleigh, North Carolina. “Dusty Old
Man,” the album’s first single, premiered via Rolling Stone Country, who said,
“Powered by guitars from Marc Ribot and pedal-steel wiz Eric Heywood over a
bouncy shuffle rhythm from drummer Jay Bellerose and bassist Jennifer Condos,
‘Dusty Old Man’ has more of a bluesy, loose-limbed feel than anything Merritt
has ever done.”
Critical
reception for Tift Merritt’s - Stitch of the World:
Allmusic (4 STARS) These sessions were produced by Sam Beam of
Iron and Wine, who also contributes acoustic guitar and backing vocals, and the
studio band brings together some stellar musicians, including guitarist Marc
Ribot, pedal steel man Eric Heywood, and
drummer Jay Bellarose. But while
Merritt has surrounded herself with some exceptional helpers, she carries
Stitch of the World on her own shoulders, and does so with ease and aplomb.
From the simple purity of numbers like "My Boat," "Eastern
Light," and "Icarus" to the rowdy attack of "Proclamation
Bones" and "Dusty Old Man," Merritt sounds confident and in
control at every moment, and her graceful passion is a wonder to behold.
Slant Magazine (4 STARS) Merritt's
chemistry with her band makes everything here feel lively, but don't let that
obscure her ease of craft; when she shifts focus to the piano for “Heartache Is
an Uphill Climb,” a hymn to holding on even in brokenness, she displays her
casual mastery of the skyscraping ballad, building each chorus just a little
bigger and a little weepier. (She also shows off that voice of hers, which has
never sounded more like Dolly Parton's than it does on this song.)
The Independent (4 STARS) The material is
split between classic country songcraft (“Love Soldiers On”), roustabout
swamp-rock (“Proclamation Bones”) and some tracks that slip between the cracks
in magical, engaging ways, such as the duet “Eastern Light” and especially the
Raymond Carver-inspired “My Boat”. Its inclusive invitation – “You can do
whatever you want, on my boat” – is richly borne out in the blend of sustained
guitar tones, subtle mandolin and percussive textures.
Pop Matters (8/10) If Merritt’s tightening her writing, it might be connected to following
some good inspiration. One of the album’s highlights, “My Boat” is a reworking
of a Raymond Carver poem of the same title. Rather than setting his words to
music, though, Merritt’s whittled it down to a precise statement of the
significance of the vessel—best captured as “no one will be denied on my
boat”—delivered over a rolling beat. It feints at the anthemic while creating
an earworm while feeling effortless.
Barry
Zito baseball fans are about to become Barry Zito music fans! The retired major
league pitcher is finally pursuing his lifelong dream of writing and recording
music and has recorded his very first EP. Zito has been playing guitar since
his early 20’s, while on the road in the minor leagues, and he began dabbling
in songwriting for fun a few years later. Born with a natural athletic ability,
he’s also always possessed a love and talent for music that he comes by quite
naturally. Zito grew up in a household
surrounded by music. His father Joe worked as a conductor/arranger for Nat King
Cole and eventually an artist manager, and his mother Roberta had been one of
Cole’s backup singers in the Merry Young Souls. Barry recalls having a
fascination with music pretty early on.
After
retiring from his baseball career in 2015, Zito immediately turned his full
attention to that second love and began crafting the songs that would fill his
first album. You could almost say it was fate or kismet that brought the World
Series winner full circle to a Triple A team in Music City right before he
retired, and for Zito, it was definitely a long, winding journey full of
interesting twists and turns that landed him there and ultimately inspired the
songs on NO SECRETS. (Source: barryzitomusic.com)

Little Big Town held and led Billboard's
Hot Country Songs chart (dated Feb. 18) for a second week with the Taylor
Swift-penned "Better Man".
"Man"
fell 1-2 on Country Digital Song Sales, held at #4 on Country Airplay (37.5
million impressions) and held at #6 on Country Streaming Songs.
Sam Hunt with “Body Like a Back Road” (MCA Nashville), the first single from
upcoming album, marked his highest debut on Hot Country Songs, Country Airplay
and Country Digital Song Sales.
The
track bounded in at No.2 on Hot
Country Songs, besting the No.16 entrance of “Drinkin’ Too Much” on the Jan.
28-dated chart.
With
its No. 21 start on Country Airplay (12.7 million in audience), “Body” is easily Hunt’s highest arrival.
Previously, his debut single, “Leave the
Night On,” was his strongest, beginning at No.53 before becoming his first
of four No.1s.
On
Country Digital Song Sales, “Body”
bowed at the summit, selling 53,000 downloads in its first week. Before that,
Hunt had entered at a No. 3 high with “Drinkin’

Rhett racked his seventh Country Airplay No.1, as “Star

which Rhett wrote with his father, Rhett Akins, and Ben Hayslip, is the fifth
and final planned single from his album TANGLED UP. It follows the No.1s “Crash
and Burn” (Sept. 26, 2015, one week), “Die a Happy Man” (Jan. 2, 2016, six
weeks) and “T-Shirt” (June 18, one week). (Fourth single “Vacation” hit No.30
in September 2016.)
“I can’t believe [“Star of the Show”] is my seventh No. 1,” Rhett told
Billboard. “It’s the perfect way to close out Tangled Up. This one is particularly
special, as it’s the first No. 1 that my dad and I wrote together, so it means
a lot to both of us.” Although “Star” is the first No. 1 that Rhett co-wrote
with Akins, his dad co-penned (with other writers) his first two leaders: “It
Goes Like This” (2013) and “Get Me Some of That” (2014).
