The album remains at #1 on the all-genre Hot 200 Albums chart this week. Chris Janson is at #3 with his Gold-certified breakout hit "Buy Me A Boat" while Thomas Rhett's at #4 with his Gold-certified single "Crash And Burn."

Brian Cole
Thank you for the update on "If I Die Young." As for Sam Hunt, I'm wondering if his label will try to cross over "House Party" given its unusually strong streaming success for a Country song, or if his label will make an even bolder move and try to release "Break Up In A Small Town" to Country and Mainstream (and possibly Rock based on his Fallon performance) all at the same time, then come back to "House Party"?
Matt Bjorke
No. They'll crossover "Break Up In A Small Town" either at once or later.
