After one week with Willie Nelson on top of this chart with his “Band Of Brothers” album, Miranda Lambert returns to the #1 slot with “Platinum.”
Miranda Lambert remains at #1 this week with “Platinum”, giving her 4 out of 5 weeks in the pole position of Country Music’s Top slot. She’s sold 331k copies of the album in this time and has remained in the SoundScan Top 200 Albums chart Top 10 during this time. Rural Rapper Colt Ford debuts in the Top 10 of the SoundScan chart and also hits #2 on this week’s chart with “Thanks For Listening,” the fifth full-length album of his career. Brantley Gilbert actually gained 1% in sales over the previous week’s report this past week with his nearly-Gold “Just As I Am.” Grand Ole Opry stars Old Crow Medicine Show debut at #4 with “Remedy,” selling 17k in its first week of release.
