The sales numbers are out and once again Lady Antebellum holds steady with Need You Now leading the way on the Nielsen SoundScan Hot 200 Albums chart.  The trio, which is now working “Our Kind of Love” to radio, has now sold nearly 2.1 million copies of the album.  The Court Yard Hounds self-titled album remains second on our list this week as it has moved over 90,000 copies in two weeks.  The Zac Brown Band’s foundation moved another 18k plus this week while Miranda Lambert’s fourth on the rundown this week as Revolution moves nearly 18,000 copies.  She should move over the 600k mark this week as “The House That Built Me” sits near the top of the radio charts.  Taylor Swift’s Fearless remains one of country’s best-sellers this week as well.
