The Top 5 of Country Music contains three newcomers this week with Sugarland’s lead vocalist Jennifer Nettles debuting with That Girl while Rosanne Cash’s The River And The Thread is #2 and Jon Pardi debuts at #3.
Jennifer Nettles may be a debut artist as a solo singer but fans know of her as Sugarland’s lead vocalist. Still, 54k fans taking a copy of the album home its first week out isn’t too ba considering not every Sugarland fan knew she was/has released a solo album. Award-winning icon Rosanne Cash debuts at #2 with The River and The Thread while Jon Pardi’s Write You A Song debuts at #3. Rounding out the Top 5 are Florida Georgia Line and Luke Bryan with Here’s To The Good Times and Crash My Party, respectively. All 5 albums managed to place in the Top 20, giving Country music ¼ of the Top 20 best-selling albums in America this week.
Garth Brooks “Blame It All On My Roots” leads Second half of Top 10. Joined by Texas newcomer Cody Johnson and Vocal group Home Free.
10k fans decided to plunk down the $25 needed to purchase “Blame It All On My Roots” while 8k took home Texas Country artist Cody Johnson’s Cowboy Like Me and 6k took home a copy of The Sing-Off winners Home Free’s debut Crazy Life.
