The album should eventually surpass the Gold sales mark (likely after the release of his sophomore album). The Civil Wars’ self-titled sophomore album hit stores this week and has a shot at scoring the feuding duo a #1 album in all of the USA but their self-released first album Barton Hollow makes a re-appearance on our rundown with sales now over 618k for the album released in 2011 (and featuring “Poison And Wine”). Lee Brice’s Hard 2 Love is next with sales pushing 500k as “Parking Lot Party” looks to be the 4th out of 4 singles to hit #1 and get certified Gold and or Platinum on the Singles sales chart. Finally, Luke Bryan’s sophomor album Doin’ My Thing is one of three albums from him on this Top 200 Albums chart. The record has scanned 861,000 copies.
