Drake's
'Scorpion' Spends Fifth Week at No.1 on Billboard 200 Albums Chart
Kenny Chesney
debuts in the top 10.
For
a fifth straight week, Drake’s Scorpion ruled the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart (BB200). The set continues at No.1,
earning 145,000 equivalent album
units (down 21 percent) in the week ending Aug. 2, according to Nielsen Music.
Of that sum, just 12,000 were in traditional sales, as the album continues to be
overwhelmingly powered by streaming activity (123,000 were in SEA units
(translating to 169.6 million on-demand
audio streams),
At
No. 2 on the Billboard 200, Kenny Chesney debuted with his latest studio
effort, SONGS FOR THE SAINTS. The
album bowed with 77,000 units earned
(with 65,000 of that sum in traditional
album sales). Songs is Chesney’s debut for Warner Music Nashville after a long
tenure with Sony Music Nashville.
Songs
is Chesney’s 15th top 10 album on the Billboard 200 and continued his
hit streak of top 10s: since 2004, every one of his 14 charting albums have
debuted in the top 10. (He also logged a top 10 with 2002’s No. 1 No Shoes, No
Shirt, No Problems.)
Among
country artists, the only acts with more top 10s than Chesney on the
Billboard 200 are George Strait (20), Garth Brooks (19) and Tim McGraw (18).

Kenny
Chesney's 'Songs For the Saints' Debuts As #1 Country Album
Virgin Islands
Hurricane Relief Project Tops 77,400
Kenny Chesney with SONGS FOR THE SAINTS (Blue Chair/Warner Bros./Warner Music
Nashville) launched at No.1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart
dated Aug. 11. It earned 77,000 equivalent album units in its first week
(ending Aug. 2), according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, over 64,600 were via traditional album
sales. With consumption it makes it one of the year’s/country’s most successful
debuts without a ticket bundle promotion offer.
Having
broken his own record at Chicago’s Soldiers Field with 52,189 and a completely
sold out show, Kenny Chesney finally released Songs for the Saints Friday, July
27.
Chesney’s
first WMN set is his 16th Top Country Albums No.1, lifting him into a
fourth-place tie with Merle Haggard and Tim McGraw for the most charttoppers.
George
Strait leads with 26, followed by Garth Brooks and Willie Nelson with 17 each.
Chesney
and Buddy Cannon produced the 11-song project. It contains five tracks that
Chesney co-authored. Featured artists include Jimmy Buffett (“Trying to Reason
With Hurricane Season”), Ziggy Marley (“Love for Love City”) and Mindy Smith
(“Better Boat”).
Songs
for the Saints was crafted in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, which wreaked destruction in 2017, including the
Virgin Islands, where Chesney’s home on St. John was destroyed. He is donating
100 percent of the proceeds from the album to the victims of Irma through his
Love for Live City Fund charity.
“It’s
thrilling Songs for the Saints has had this kind of response,” Chesney told
Billboard, “in part because, obviously, these songs are as close to my soul as
anything I’ve ever recorded, but also because every bit of the proceeds goes to
the Love for Love City Fund, which has been financing a lot of the rebuilding
post-Hurricanes Irma and Maria.
Knowing
that [fan base] No Shoes Nation continues to make this kind of a difference for
some islands that could be easily forgotten means the world to me, and, once
again, No Shoes Nation has shown up like only it can.”
When
Kenny Chesney made Songs for the Saints, he wasn’t thinking about chart
positions, country radio or how these songs would play in his live shows—he was
worried about the people of the Virgin Islands. Riding out a Category 5 hurricane without the same
kinds of safety nets people on mainland take for granted, he understood the
peril, and he channeled it into “Song for the Saints,” then “Love for Love
City.”
“All
I knew was that I was so scared for a lot of people and places that I really
loved,” says Chesney of the inspiration. “I was anxious, and I was thousands of
miles away. I needed to do something, something that would let those people
know they weren’t gonna be forgotten when the news cycle moved on. I had no
idea it would be an album, but the songs were something they could sing. And
now here we are.”
“Get
Along” broke Billboard’s record for the most No.1s on the Country Airplay chart
by a single artist, the infectious two-week No. 1 that was Chesney’s 30th
chart-topper also returned to the top of the iTunes chart.
PROMOTION: Chesney and his band performed “Get
Along” on NBC’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” (July 31).
Chesney
also sat down with FALLON to discuss his "Trip Around The Sun Tour;"
his high school football days; his newly-released "Songs For Saints"
album; and more. Watch here.
CHART HISTORY
LIVE IN NO SHOES NATION (released Oct 27, 2017; Blue
Chair/Columbia Nashville/Sony Music Nashville) debuted at No.1 on Billboard 200
& Top Country Albums with 216,804 in traditional album sales. That sum was generated largely by a
concert ticket/album sale redemption promotion with Chesney’s 2018 stadium
tour. The cost of the CD of Chesney’s album was bundled into the price of each ticket sold online for his tour
(which went on sale Sept. 22, 2017). The album had sold 451,400 copies in the United
States as of June 2018.
That
marked Chesney’s best weekly sales sum since Sept. 29, 2007, when JUST WHO I AM: POETS AND PIRATES
launched with 386,685
sold.
Chesney
previously led the Billboard 200
with:

THE ROAD AND THE RADIO (released Nov 8, 2005)
Critical reception for Kenny Chesney’s Songs For The Saints:
Allmusic (Rating; 4 STARS) …Songs for the Saints does have an undercurrent of melancholy running
through a few of its tunes, yet its tone isn't sorrowful. Chesney celebrates
the very feel of island culture, drawing upon the scenery, legends, weather,
and
friendship that come with the sand, sun, and sea. This focus on a warm,
hazy vibe separates Songs for the Saints from such introspective Chesney albums
as Hemingway's Whiskey, which are studied in their sobriety. Here, he winds up
finding depth within his signature mellow good times, and the result is one of
Chesney's best records: it goes down smooth yet lingers in the memory long
after its gone.
Roughstock (Rating: Positive) The path to continued success for Kenny Chesney, especially on his
first album with a new record label, would've been to record just another album
of radio-ready fare but instead, he’s decided to record Songs For The Saints
and it will go down as one of — if not the best — of his legendary career. And
it’s a testament to the people who allowed the superstar to just be Kenny, the
people who are rebuilding paradise with such grace and beauty and truly shows
how they collectively have a massive piece of his heart.
Sounds Like Nashville (Rating: Positive) While
Songs for the Saints is a departure from the radio-friendly hits Chesney has
had over the years, it is a reflection on the singer as a person as he
struggles to make sense of the devastation witnessed in the Virgin Islands. As
he sings fondly of the island that helped him turn into the man he is today,
the impact is evident throughout each song’s descriptive lyrics and the emotion
embodied in every note. While he wasn’t there when the storms ravaged through
the area, the singer promises to help rebuild as best as he can and with Songs
for the Saints he follows through on his pledge while bringing awareness for
his beloved Virgin Islands.
Cody Jinks with LIFERS with (Cody Jinks/Rounder/Concord) arrived at No. 2 (a personal-best) on Top Country Albums (#11
Billboard 200) with 24,000 consumption
units. On Americana/Folk Albums, the set started at No.1. He makes his first
appearance on Americana/Folk Albums and second on Top Country Albums, following
I’m Not the Devil, which debuted and peaked at No. 4 in 2016.
Released
on August 12, 2016 I’M NOT THE DEVIL (Cody Jinks/Thirty Tigers) entered at No.4
on Top Country Albums (#39 Billboard 200) selling 11,331 copies and marked his
first appearance on the tally. By Dec 17, 2017 it had sold 67,100 copies
Critical reception for Cody Jinks’ Lifers:
Cody Jinks on New Album ‘Lifers’
and Dimebag Darrell’s Influence: Texas native discusses the push and
pull of touring life, a major theme of his Rounder Records debut
Allmusic (Rating : 4 STARS) Following a string of self-released albums that culminated in 2016's
I'm Not the Devil making a surprise number four appearance on Billboard's
Country Albums chart, Texas singer/songwriter Cody Jinks makes his label debut
with the brooding, existentially concerned Lifers….. Newfound success and new
label or not, Lifers is another rock-solid release in Jinks' remarkably
consistent career.
Roughstock (Rating: Positive) …If Jinks’ tip of the hat to his heroes with “Lifers" isn’t proof enough, “Can’t Quit Enough” is a rollicking,Haggard-esque workingman blues. It’s a hearty affirmation of Jinks’ artistic identity. Imprisoned lifers, in popular vernacular, are inmates cell-bound against their will. However, Cody Jinks has willfully committed himself to carrying on straight ahead country music’s proud traditions. And right now, there’s no better troubadour carrying that flag.

Saving Country Music (Rating: 8.5/ 10)…. The annals of
country music are peppered with entries on folks who poked their head into the
genre for a few years before deciding to jump ship or switch styles. But the
folks who dedicated their lives to the music are the ones that history
remembers most fondly, and receive their name in headers of chapters, helping
to mark the guideposts of the music’s chronological eras. They’re the “Lifers,”
who just like the people they sing for, take pride in their unwavering
commitment to plying a trade behind a purpose, and the craftsmanship and heart
they put into those efforts, knowing the music and its lineage will always be
bigger than them, their work will be rewarded and judged most harshly in
hindsight, and that country music holds no guarantee of sustaining into the
future unless someone is willing to pick up the yoke left by their
predecessors, and get to work.
Paste (Rating: 8.2/ 10)… Jinks
mines the same template as any number of other rebels and resisters, but
fortunately, he also asserts a belief and conviction that confirms his
authenticity. And like all crafty country performers, he also shows a knack for
coming up with catchy song titles that possess both irony and imagination.
Indeed, the name given “Somewhere Between I Love You and I’m Leavin’”
effectively sums up the state of a dysfunctional romance. Lifers is the kind of
album that ought to find a receptive audience with those that like their roots
music honest, straightforward and unpretentious. Lifers affirms those values
with every note and nuance.

Four-time
GRAMMY Award winner Urban celebrated his 24th Mediabase Country Airplay Chart
#1. The song, which marks the first time that a country artist has utilized a
sample of another country song, is Urban’s latest single from his critically
hailed #1 album GRAFFITI U. The album
debuted #1 in the U.S., Canada and Australia, the second time that Urban has
accomplished that feat, the only male country artist to ever achieve but once. “Coming Home,” which Urban explained ‘began
with an idea of using the intro of Haggard’s “Mama Tried”,’ gives Urban an
astounding thirty-ninth Top 10 singles.
Urban’s “GRAFFITI U WORLD TOUR 2018” heads to
Canada next month, during which time he will also perform on the Canadian
Country Music Awards.
