The Pistol Annies may be experiencing some ‘growing pains’ in the trio’s partnership but that hasn’t stopped fans from wanting to own a copy of the their sophomore album Annie Up. The album has now sold nearly 200k copies in 9 weeks on the charts. Jason Aldean experiences a 12% sales incerase with “Night Train.” The album’s title track’s success at radio is certainly helping the Platinum-plus selling album reach more fans while Tim McGraw’s Two Lanes Of Freedom has a nice 4% sales increase this week with sales approaching 400k sold. The album is followed on our rundown this week by the soundtrack for O Brother Where Art Thou?. The Grammy-winning soundtrack (which features “I Am A Man of Constant Sorrow”) experienced a 271% sales increase to bring sales to 7.8m sold (Which is likely more copies than the actual movie has ever sold on DVD or Blu-ray).
