Eric Church Is the Chief This Week

Zac Brown Band's strong album You Get What You Give, which features this week's #1 single in "Knee Deep," leads off this week's 6-10 slots on the SoundScan Chart rundown this week. Justin Moore's sophomore album Outlaws Like Me has now sold over 170,000 copies since being released while Brad Paisley's This Is Country Music is already a Gold-certified album for selling over 500,000 copes to stores while his album has actually sold just under 400,000 copies to actual consumers. Taylor Swift's juggernaut Speak Now and Republic Nashville's family band The Band Perry round out the Top 10 this week.  Both artists are also releasing new singles to country radio in "Sparks Fly" and "All Your Life"

Lady Antebellum's "Just A Kiss" - from the upcoming Own The Night - is about to hit #1 on the charts while their old album Need You Now (featuring the title hit, "American Honey," "Hello World," and "Our Kind of Love") still gains sales and has nearly sold 3.6 million copies since being released in early 2010. Now That's What I Call Country Music - Volume IV is now a 100,000 copy seller while Kenny Chesney's Hemingway's Whiskey works fourth single "You And Tequila" up the radio single charts. Rascal Flatts have nearly sold one million copies of Nothing Like This while single "I Won't Let Go" has become the trio's first Gold (or better) certified digital single since 2006's "My Wish." Zac Brown Band's first national album The Foundation sits at #15 this week with the record now nearing the 2.7 million sold mark since being released in 2008.

Blake Shelton's first decade career-spanning hits collection Loaded...The Best of Blake Shelton leads the last quarter of the Top 20 country albums on the SoundScan Top 200 Current Albums chart with sales approaching 370,000. Eventually the record will hit Gold. Ronnie Dunn's first single from his strong self-titled album Ronnie Dunn, "Bleed Red," hit the Top 10 of the radio charts and it looks as if his follow-up single from the album, "Cost Of Livin'" is on its way as well. Lauren Alaina's "Like My Mother Does" is approaching the Top 10. The album featuring the song, American Idol Season 10 Highlights has now sold nearly 50,000 copies, not bad considering that's the only new tune on the EP.  Sara Evans just hit the Top 40 with her remake of Rod Stewart's "My Heart Can't Tell You No." The tune is the follow-up to the title track from Stronger. Sara has now sold nearly 260,000 copies of her comeback album while Tim McGraw's latest career-spanning hits collection marches towards Platinum (for double albums) as it's now all but assured of happening thanks to sales being in the 406,000 range as the singer and his label argue in court about the remaining album or two in his contract.

Billy Currington's Enjoy Yourself is marching towards Gold while Alison Krauss and Union Station's Paper Airplane continues to be the best-selling bluegrass album in the world. Keith Urban's Get Closer continues to find fans as the album has now sold over 621,000 copies. Meanwhile, Colt Ford's Every Chance I Get and Jason Michael Carroll's third album Numbers (Exclusively available at Cracker Barrel stores) round out our chart rundown this week as both of their albums experience sales increases this week.
