Billboard Top 200 / Country Album Chart News (Chart  issue week of December 23, 2017)

The Billboard 200 chart measures multi-metric album consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA).

U2 Scores Eighth No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 Chart With 'Songs of Experience'
The band is now the only group with No. 1s in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s and 2010s.

U2 achieved its eighth No.1 album on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart (BB200), as the rock band’s new SONGS OF EXPERIENCE debuted atop the tally. The set bows with 186,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Dec. 7, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 179,772 were in traditional album sales.
Songs of Experience netted the biggest week for a rock album in 2017, both in terms of overall units, as well as album sales. The last rock set to log a larger frame was Metallica’s Hardwired… To Self-Destruct, which launched at No. 1 on the Dec. 10, 2016-dated chart with 291,000 units, of which 282,000 were in album sales.
Songs of Experience’s debut benefits from a concert ticket/album bundle sale redemption promotion in association with the act’s 2018 Experience + Innocence Tour, which begins in May.
U2 last topped the Billboard 200 with 2009’s No Line on the Horizon, which bowed with 484,000 copies sold in its first week, according to Nielsen Music. (The Billboard 200 transitioned to a consumption units-ranked tally in late 2014.)

Chris Stapleton made a bow at No.2 on the Billboard 200 with his second studio effort of 2017, FROM A ROOM: VOLUME 2. It starts with 125,000 units, of which 115,870 were in pure album sales. It follows From a Room: Volume 1, which also opened (and peaked) at No.2 (on the list dated May 27), with 219,000 units, of which 202,154 were in traditional album sales.
Stapleton is the first country act to notch two top-two charting albums in a calendar year on the Billboard 200 since 2013. That year, Luke Bryan claimed a pair of No. 1s with Spring Break… Here to Party and Crash My Party.

Taylor Swift with REPUTATION slid to No.3 after three weeks at No.1. In its fourth week, the set collected 112,000 units (down 24%), with 70,199 of that figure in album sales (down 47%; total 1,650,506). The album’s SEA units rally by 344 percent (to 34,000 units) following the entire set’s release to streaming services on Dec. 1. Previously, only the album’s four pre-release tracks were available to stream.

Garth Brooks with five-CD boxed set The Anthology: Part I: The First Five Years dropped from its No.4 peak to No.10 in its third week.

Billboard Top Country Albums (Chart issue week of December 23, 2017)
Top Country Albums now ranks the most popular country albums of the week, as compiled by Nielsen Music, based on multi-metric consumption (blending traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA), and streaming equivalent albums (SEA)).
10 digital track sales from an album = 1 track equivalent album (TEA) “sale”
1,500 on demand song streams from an album to one streaming equivalent album (SEA) “sale”.
Nielsen Music compiles the sales and streaming data. Billboard continues to publish pure album sales charts (subscription to billboard biz ), exclusively comprising Nielsen’s sales data.

STAPLETON also owns three of the top five slots
Chris Stapleton with his third full-length, From A Room: Volume 2 (Mercury/ Universal Music Group Nashville), flew in atop Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart dated Dec. 23, earning 125,000 equivalent album units (#2 BB200; 115,870 in traditional album sales) in the week ending Dec. 14, according to Nielsen Music.


The nine-track LP, produced by Stapleton with Dave Cobb, follows its predecessor, From A Room: Volume 1, which bowed at No.  on the Top Country Albums list dated May 27 with 219,000 units (202,154 in pure sales), marking Stapleton’s strongest unit and sales week to date. Volume 1 has spent eight weeks atop Top Country Albums.

Additionally, Stapleton held three positions in the Top Country Albums top five, a feat now accomplished only three times in the past 25 years. Joining Volume 2 at No.1, Volume 1 increased 66% to 19,000 units and hurtled 9-3 (64-28 BB200) selling 15,550 copies (up 80%, 31-week total 611,100) while Stapleton’s first studio album, TRAVELLER, jumped 8-4 (18,000 units, up 39%; 11,229 sales up 62%; 136-week total 2,144,500). Traveller has ruled the chart for 29 weeks.

Chris said he didn’t feel any pressure to make From A Room: Volume 1 or Volume 2, because he’s just making music he likes. “My goal with making Traveller, I hoped to possibly sell 50,000 records, and that was my goal. I was like I was gonna make this record and I was going to go out and play music, because that’s what I knew how to do and that’s what Universal allowed me to do. Obviously, we did a little better than that, and so this time around I tried to reset – to a degree – and go, but let’s put this into perspective here. None of this was expected stuff. What were you trying to do? What are we trying to do? We’re trying to make music that we like and make a record that we like,” said Chris. “So, very much I would love to be able to sell enough records that I can still go play shows and keep making records. That’s the goal. That’s the dream, whether it’s 20,000 records or 50,000 records or getting to play a room for 300 people or 20,000 people. That’s the dream still. I’m still making a living playing music. So, no, I didn’t feel any pressure from it whatsoever, because all that came from just making music for the sake of making music.”

Promoting the album Mercury Nashville's Chris Stapleton appeared on NBC-TV's "SUNDAY Today With WILLIE GEIST" (Sunday Dec 3) for an interview segment. Stapleton and his wife, Morgane, welcomed GEIST to their home just outside of NASHVILLE for a conversation about songwriting; his newly-released album, "From A Room: Volume 2;" and his family.
Check out the full interview segment here.
Volume 2 follows the release of From A Room: Volume 1, which debuted earlier this year at #1 on the Billboard Country Albums chart, #2 on the Billboard Top 200 chart and, with its RIAA Gold certification, remains the #1 best-selling country album of 20.

Pop Matters (Rating: 8/10) ....It's Stapleton's grasp on the constant joys of life despite the troubles that makes his music essential and enduring.

Rollingstone (Rating: 3.1/2 STARS) ....Like its predecessor from earlier this year, volume two of Chris Stapleton's From A Room is a brew of country, folk, blues and Southern rock and soul, recorded at Nashville's vintage RCA Studio A with producer Dave Cobb. The band's the same but leaner, stripped to guitars, bass, drums and Stapleton's mighty voice, with harmonies by his wife, Morgane, smartly moved up in the mix. Again, the songs feel like unearthed classics. "Midnight Train to Memphis" is a lockdown rocker recalling "Folsom Prison Blues," and "A Simple Song" might be vintage James Taylor if JT had kept to his Southern roots.

Independent (Rating: 3 out of 5 STARS)… While this partner set doesn’t have quite the sustained quality of the preceding album released six months ago, it still affirms the value of spiking country music with a strong shot of rhythm & blues. It’s a natural call for Stapleton’s sepia rasp of a voice: allied to the funky country-rock and waspish flanged guitar of “Hard Livin’”, the result recalls the outlaw strut of Waylon Jennings; while in a more pared-down solo setting, it underscores the pained regret of the barfly talking to God in “Drunkard’s Prayer”. He overdoes it slightly with the heartland rock of “Midnight Train To Memphis”, coming across like a bargain-basement Bob Seger, but elsewhere Stapleton’s lyrical manner skillfully allows dark clouds to shadow “A Simple Song” (which rhymes “laid off last fall” with “cholesterol”) and especially “Scarecrow In The Garden”, the grim testament of a beaten man portentously gripping “a Bible in my left hand, and a pistol in my right”.

Slant Magazine (Rating: 70/100) ...If anything, the album flows together even better than Volume 1, where the disparity between light-heartedness and heavier themes was an occasional distraction.

Sandwiched among Stapleton’s trifecta on Top Country Albums is the artist who last achieved the feat, Garth Brooks, whose new box set, The Anthology: Part 1, The First Five Years (Pearl), slipped to 1-2 (#4-10 Billboard 200) selling 39,762 copies (down 30%; 3-week total 149,663). On the chart dated Dec. 17, 2016, Brooks ranked at Nos. 2, 3 and 4, respectively, with wife Trisha Yearwood on Christmas Together; the Walmart exclusive bundle Christmas Together/Gunslinger; and the stand-alone version of his 10th proper album, Gunslinger.

Former No.1 Blake Shelton with TEXOMA SHORE (Warner Bros./Warner Music Nashville) fell 3-5 (#24-37 BB200) selling 13,398 copies (down 25%; 5-week total 144,011).

Danielle Bradbery with I DON’T BELIEVE WE’VE MET (BMLG) made a debut on Top Country Albums at No.6 (#41 BB200; 15,000 units) selling 11,106 copies. The set marked the third appearance on the chart for Bradbery, who won the fourth season of NBC’s The Voice in 2013. Her 2013 self-titled LP provided Bradbery her best rank so far when it debuted and peaked at No. 5. (#19 BB200) selling 41,369 copies with her first week at retail. Her The Voice Complete Season 4 Collection also peaked at #19.

Bradbery’s 10-song sophomore album—features seven songs she co-wrote, including lead single “Sway.” Additional contributing songwriters include Thomas Rhett, Jaren Johnston, Rhett Akins, Nicolle Galyon, Emily Weisband and Heather Morgan.

Danielle Bradbery first reached fans on NBC’s The Voice in 2013, winning at age 16. Now 21, the Texas native celebrated her re-introductory, sophomore BMLG Records album, I Don’t Believe We’ve Met, on NBC’s TODAY (9 a.m. hour) on the release day: Friday, Dec 1. After realizing she wanted to play a bigger part in the creative process, Bradbery has been waiting for old and new fans everywhere to hear the album, after she took four years to carefully craft her own style and what she wanted to say. The transformation Bradbery was looking for was highlighted by NPR’s Jewly Hight as part of the album’s “First Listen” describing it as “a significant, and successful, reinvention captured in a taut 10 tracks.”
Bradbery entered the writing room for the first time with songwriting veterans like Grammy-award winning Emily Weisband, superstar Thomas Rhett, 28-No.1 writer Rhett Akins, and more that helped her bring out her true story as she crafted I DON’T BELIEVE WE’VE MET. NOW, Bradbery makes her songwriting debut penning seven out of 10 songs on the album Billboard said, “honesty and vulnerability can be heard throughout.”
 Bradbery, who NPR says is “exploring the possibilities of timbre, tone and inflection, and incorporating R&B-steeped pop attitude in a way that feels natural,” on I Don’t Believe We’ve Met, heads into her TODAY show performance on the heels of her recent performances at CMT’s Next Women of Country in November and CMT’s Artists of the Year Awards in October, where the hurt and losses from the many tragedies of 2017 were remembered.
 A four-show run at Nashville’s One at Cannery Row, New York’s Hill Country, Houston’s White Oak Music Hall and Los Angeles’ Hornblower Cruises and Events kicked off I Don’t Believe We’ve Met’s release.

Critical reception for Danielle Bradbery’s I Don’t Believe We’ve Met:
10 Tracks/ Time: 33:29 Amazon UK - UK iTunes - Amazon.com

AllMusic (Rating: 3.1/2 Stars)  Occasionally, her words can be a little too on the nose -- "I'm in love with your potential" seems like a dismissal -- but the lyrical ambition is nearly as admirable as the shifting, multidimensional pop on I Don't Believe We've Met.

Entertainment Focus (Rating: 4/5 STARS) ...I Don’t Believe We’ve Met is a far superior album to Bradbery’s debut. Her being more involved in the album creatively is a definite plus and she’s clearly starting to find her voice as an artist. Even the songs she hasn’t had a hand in writing, she manages to sing as if from first-hand experience. She’s come a long way in a relatively short space of time and I’m really excited to see what she does next. I Don’t Believe We’ve Met is a real accomplishment that Bradbery should feel very proud of.

Sounds Like Nashville  (Rating: Positive) ...It is obvious Danielle Bradbery took her time with I Don’t Believe We’ve Met with thoughtful lyrics and intentional production. She has grown up immensely since her last album and seems to have started a new and bright chapter in her career.

Former No.1 Thomas Rhett with LIFE CHANGES (Valory/Big Machine Label Group) fell 4-7 (#35-43 BB200) selling 5,837 copies (down 25%, 13-week total 188,200).
