Luke Bryan earns fourth
No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard Top 200 Album Chart
Luke Bryan’s WHAT MAKES YOU COUNTRY is the fourth country set to hit No.1 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart (BB200) in 2017, following Kenny Chesney's Live in No Shoes
Nation, Shania Twain's Now and Thomas Rhett's Life Changes.
That’s
the most country leaders in a year since 2014, when five titles visited the
top: Eric Church’s The Outsiders, Miranda Lambert’s Platinum, Blake Shelton’s
Bringing Back the Sunshine, Jason Aldean’s Old Boots, New Dirt; and Florida
Georgia Line’s Anything Goes. (Notably, all of the five No. 1s for country in
2014 came when the chart was still a pure sales-based ranking, before it
transitioned in December 2014 to an equivalent album units-ranking.)
Bryan
made his Billboard chart debut 10 years ago, back on Feb. 10, 2007, when his
single “All My Friends Say” arrived on the Hot Country Songs chart at
No. 59. It would eventually peak at No. 5 in September of that year. That same
month, his first album, I’ll Stay Me, topped out at No. 2 on the Top Country
Albums chart, and No. 24 on the Billboard 200.
What
Makes You Country was preceded by the single “Light It Up,” which has
so far peaked at No.4 on Hot Country
Songs, and granted the singer his 18th No.1
on the Country Airplay chart.
Back
on the Billboard 200, Taylor Swift’s REPUTATION rose from No.3 to
No.2 with 100,000 units (down 11
percent; 68,023 in pure sales), while Ed
Sheeran’s ÷ (Divide) climbed 4-3 with 70,000
units (up 2 percent), and Pentatonix’s A Pentatonix Christmas ascends 5-4
with 67,000 units (up 1 percent).
Following
Double or Nothing on the new Billboard 200, Chris Stapleton’s From A Room:
Volume 2 falls from No. 2 to No. 7 in its second week, with 47,000 units (down
63 percent). Sam Smith’s The Thrill of It All moves 7-8 (46,000 units; down 2
percent) and Michael Bublé’s Christmas dips 8-9 with 42,000 units (though it’s
up 2 percent). Post Malone’s Stoney rounds out the top 10, as it climbs 11-10
with 36,000 units (down 5 percent).
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.
Luke Bryan earned his fourth No.1 on
the all-genre Billboard 200 (BB200) and
his eighth No. 1 on Billboard Top Country Albums with his sixth
studio full-length, WHAT MAKES YOU
COUNTRY (Capitol Nashville/Universal Music Group Nashville). The set
arrives atop both charts (dated Dec. 30) with 108,000 equivalent album units (with 7.8 million streams) in the
week ending Dec. 14, with 99,485 in traditional album sales, according to Nielsen Music.
CHART HISTORY: For the 41-year- old
Bryan, the 15-track set, co-produced by the father-and-son team of Jeff and
Jody Stevens, is his fourth No.1 debut on the Billboard 200 and seventh
to debut in the Top Country Albums penthouse.
Bryan’s
last studio LP, KILL THE LIGHTS, the
first album ever to produce six Country Airplay No.1s, bowed at No. 1 on the
tallies with 320,063 copies sold (Aug. 29,
2015). The figure gave
Bryan the biggest sales week for a Country album since 2013 – when his
own CRASH MY PARTY sold 527,783 copies in its first week
He
last led Top Country Albums with the EP Farm
Tour: HERE’S TO THE FARMER (32,427 copies; chart Oct. 15, 2016; #4 Billboard 200; #1 Country)
Bryan
first ruled Top Country Albums with his third LP, TAILGATES & TANLINES, which entered atop the list dated Aug.
27, 2011 selling 145,295 copies.
His
other Top Country Albums leaders: Spring
Break… Here to Party (2013); CRASH
MY PARTY (2013), with 527,783 copies sold, his biggest single-week sales to date; the EP Spring Break 6...Like We Ain’t Ever
(2014); and Spring Break… Checkin’ Out
(chart dated March 28, 2015; 88,782 copies; #3 Billboard 200/ #1 Country).
On
the Billboard 200, he led with Spring Break…
Here to Party, Crash My Party and Kill the Lights prior to What Makes You
Country.
The
first of Bryan’s 14 Top Country Albums appearances was his debut, I’LL STAY ME, released on Aug 14, 2007,
which arrived and peaked at No. 24 on Sept. 1, 2007 (24,993 copies sold).
His second album DOIN' MY THING, released Oct 6, 2009 opened with sales of 57,503 (Chart Week ending Oct 24,
2009) to peak at #6 on the Billboard 200 and #2 on Billboard Country Albums.
“My
hope for every album is to put songs out that drive people to want to come see
the shows. It drives people to want to
listen to it on the radio and obviously have these songs incorporated in their
life,” said Luke. “I always want to have a rollercoaster of emotions through
the albums – the sad songs, the love songs, the happy songs, the drinking
songs, the party songs. I want to have songs that people can come to big
outdoor stadium like concerts and rock and party and have a blast. I want
something driving, something to hit people in the face, and let’s make some big
ole fun music and some big ole fun memories.”
Luke
just hit No. 1 on the country singles charts with “Light It Up.” He’ll also
light up the small screen on ABC’s reboot of American Idol beginning March
11th.
Produced
by Jeff Stevens and Jody Stevens, it features seven songs he co-wrote,
including the title track and his current single, “Light It Up.” Other writers on the 15-song set are Dallas Davidson,
Ashley Gorley, Brad Tursi, Zach Crowell and the Warren Brothers.
The
project includes the lead single, "Light It Up," the title track, and 13 additional cuts.
BRYAN made the announcement on ABC-TV's "Good Morning AMERICA," with
a video of fans sharing what makes them Country.
"What Makes You Country" was a
running theme throughout the launch of the album - "My favorite part of making a new album is getting to collaborate
with the songwriting community in this town," said Bryan. "It is important to me to continue to push
myself to grow on all levels, and I feel like we did that on this project.
Making and performing music never gets old, and I can honestly say I am having
the time of my life. I will be forever grateful to every fan who sings along
each night."
Promoting
the album, In Case You Missed it: Capitol's Luke Bryan appeared on NBC-TV's The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy
Fallon Friday (Dec 8). Watch his performance of "What Makes You
Country" here and interview here.
Critical
reception for Luke
Bryan’s What Makes You Country:
A traditionalist might
suggest that Bryan needs to brandish his credentials because, accent and
subject matter aside, his music barely resembles country at all. She’s a Hot
One’s owes an audible debt to Led Zeppelin’s Kashmir, but his sound’s closest
relation isn’t even rock so much as mainstream pop. You can imagine Alessia
Cara or Ariana Grande performing Hungover in a Hotel Room with only a couple of
minor tweaks to the sound; the tune of Light It Up borrows so shamelessly from
James Bay’s Hold Back the River that it sounds less like
News Day.com (Rating: Positive)…. Sure, Bryan sounds most at home on the
delightful “Drinking Again,” which should quickly join Garth Brooks’ “Friends
in Low Places” and Jimmy Buffett’s “Margaritaville” in the canon of bar-stool
singalongs, but who wouldn’t? It’s a party that is perpetually already started.
“We’ll be laughing and loving, high-fiving and hugging,” he sings.
“Pop-toppin’, long-neckin’ honky-tonk friends, we’re all drinking again.”
Bryan captured that market
long ago with his spring break concerts on the beach and hits such as “Country
Man” and “Country Girl (Shake It for Me).”
For “What Makes You
Country,” he is bringing a variety of other country styles into his sound. The
sweet ballad “Like You Say You Do” has clever twists like recent Kenny Chesney
singles. “Hooked on It” is a grinding bit of country rock that pays tribute to
Alan Jackson. The arena rock vibe of “She’s a Hot One” could have come from his
pal Blake Shelton.
But Bryan, about to be
introduced to a whole new audience as an “American Idol” judge, makes sure they
all sound effortlessly just like him.
STAPLETON owns
three of the top five slots for a second week!
In
his second week Chris Stapleton with his third full-length, From A Room: Volume 2 (Mercury/
Universal Music Group Nashville), fell 1-2 (#2-7 Billboard 200) selling 42,622 copies (down 63%, 2-week
total 158,472).
Additionally,
Stapleton’s with From A Room: Volume 1
(Mercury/ Universal Music Group Nashville), fell 3-4 (28-32 BB200) selling 15,530 copies (0%, 32-week total 626,600) while Stapleton’s first studio album, TRAVELLER, slipped 4-5 (#33-34
BB200) selling 11,634 copies (up 3%; 137-week total 2,156,100).
Garth Brooks with five-CD boxed set The Anthology: Part I: The First Five Years
dropped 2-3 (#10-12 BB200) selling 35,496
copies (down 11%; 4-week total 185,200).
BOOMING INTO THE TOP 10: Walker Hayes with
his new LP, boom. (Monument/ Sony
Music Nashville), arrived on Top Country Albums at No.6, earning 16,000 equivalent album units (12,324 in traditional sales). The
title marked Hayes’ second Top Country Albums appearance; his 2010 self-titled
EP debuted and peaked at No. 66.
“You
Broke Up With Me,” boom.’s launch single, held at No.14 on Hot Country
Songs and bumped 16-15 on Country Airplay (17 million, up 3%).
Walker
Hayes Performs On 'Today'
Promoting
the album Hayes appeared on NBC-TV's
"Today" show (Dec 11) to perform "You Broke Up With
Me,". Watch the performance here.
Hayes
wrote or co-wrote each of the 10 songs on the full-length studio album, which
was produced by Shane McAnally, and
named for his favorite word. “It’s what I text my team every time another
station adds ‘You Broke Up With Me,’” he says of the now-gold first single.)
Hayes,
who wrote or co-wrote every song on the 10-track album, many with ambiguous
song titles, chose an album title that may well be his only instance where the
title might give away the meaning.
Entertainment Weekly noted Hayes’ unique hybrid’s “genre
blending” and NPR’s World Café raved
Hayes is “writing these really autobiographical songs and delivering them in
this way that feels very intimate, very close range.” Rolling Stone concurred, “…he writes songs that are damn near
impossible to classify, and that’s what makes them so interesting.”
Single,
“You
Broke Up With Me,” Over 130,000 Copies Sold, Notches 25 Million
Streams, and Top 30-and-Climbing
One
of Rolling Stone’s 2017 “Country
Artists to Watch,” Hayes gained attention last year with 8Tracks Vol. 1 and
Vol. 2. Sixteen self-written and recorded song catapulted the singer/songwriter
from working night shifts at Costco to the top of the music charts -- and onto
tours with Dan + Shay and Bobby Bones’ Funny and Alone Comedy Tour. That
momentum has earned him a highly coveted opening spot on Thomas Rhett’s Home
Team Tour.
BLURB:
boom. Walker Hayes uses the word often. “It just felt right,” the breakout
country singer says of the title for his highly-anticipated new album.
It’s
a celebratory sort of thing, he’ll tell you. A new radio station adds his
buzzing single, ‘You Broke Up With Me.’ boom. He links up for a national tour
with Thomas Rhett. boom. That rowdy
performance at CMA Fest –the one that had the crowd singing every word of his
music back to him? boom. It wasn’t always this way. Not by a long shot. Lately,
though, Hayes has had occasion to bust out the word often. And he’s not complaining.
A
confessional, no-nonsense singer-songwriter, and one whose voice and
perspective brims with relatability, Hayes is a tried-and-true Nashville
standout. He’s an original in a town all-too-often rife with mimicry and
compromise. And, now, he has audiences flocking to him in a major way.
Conversational, honest and real in song, Hayes’ debut album is the voice of a
grinder laying it bare.
It’s
the stories of a man who realized the songs he couldn’t help but write - about
family, struggle, vices and the sacrifices we make for a dream - were his and
his alone. “It startles some people. Like, ‘Wow, he’s really putting out
there,’” Hayes says of the raw songwriting that characterizes boom. But, that’s
what my heroes did,” he says referencing the Willies and Waylons and Merles of
the world. “I can only write something if I truly feel it.”
Critical reception for Walker Hayes’ boom.:
Roughstock - With
just ten songs, Walker Hayes has delivered an album full of clever lyrics and
melodies that are outside of what’s typically seen in country music. While that
may be enough for some to discount the merits of boom. as a country music
album, I just think it’s well-made, good music. And in a world where I’m trying
to be more like “Beckett,” that’s all I
need to enjoy one of country music’s most interesting (and final) releases of
2017.
Saving Country Music (Rating: Two Guns Extremely Down! (-1/10)…Boom
is the worst album of “country” music in history, and should be universally
repelled and impugned by everyone, buried or burned as the example of cultural
rot that it is, and never spoken of again except in reference of what we can
never allow to befall our precious, fertile ears again.

On Country
Airplay, Blake
Shelton with “I’ll Name the Dogs”
(Warner Bros./Warner Music Nashville) rose 2-1,
jumping 10% to 44.5 million audience impressions in the week ending Dec. 17.
The lead single
from Shelton’s album TEXOMA SHORE, which launched at No.1. on Top Country
Albums (63,000 units, Nov. 25), marks his 25th
Country Airplay No. 1, ranking him fifth among artists with the most
No.1s on the almost 28-year old list.
Tim McGraw leads with 29, followed by
Kenny Chesney (28), Alan Jackson and George Strait (26 apiece). “ ‘I’ll Name
the Dogs’ is the song that was the impetus for the Texoma Shore album,” Shelton
told Billboard. “I love this song, and I love my fans for their unbelievable
support year in and year out. Thank you all, and Merry Christmas.”
“Dogs” is Shelton’s third consecutive
Country Airplay No. 1 (following “Every Time I Hear That Song” and “Guy With a
Girl”), after he had set a record with 17 straight leaders (promoted to radio
and excluding holiday fare). The run began with 2010’s “Hillbilly Bone” (featuring Trace Adkins) and stretched through “Came Here to Forget” in 2016. Shelton
first topped the chart with his debut single, “Austin,” for five weeks in 2001.
Aaron Watson achieved his first top 10
on Country Airplay, as “Outta Style” (BIG Label) entered the
chart’s upper tier in its 50th week, increasing 8% to 21.9 million, as it rose 11-10.
Watson’s
50-week journey marked a new record for the longest trip to the top 10,
besting Chris Lane’s “For Her,” which reached its No.10 peak on Sept. 16 in its
48th frame.
In the true
spirit of the cowboy, “pioneering independent ” (Cowboys & Indians) Aaron
Watson is wrapping 2017 with a Top 10 on the national radio charts as his
self-penned “Outta Style” hits No. 10 BB/No. 8 MB. At 50 weeks, “Outta Style”
marks the longest trek to the coveted spot in the history of Billboard’s
Country Airplay Chart. The Texas
troubadour ended his banner year with his album Vaquero earning one of the 10
biggest album debuts of the year in country music and a number of “Best Album
of 2017” nods, including Whiskey Riff and the No.1 spot on Taste of Country’s
year end list, proclaiming the project “a rich collection of cowboy poetry.”
An epic year on
the road which included headlining shows for 50,000 plus at Rodeo Houston and a
historic “Night of Texas Music” at the Ryman, Watson will end 2017 with three
sold-out nights at the Lone Star State’s oldest dancehall, Gruene Hall,
December 21 through 23.
