Joey+Rory's brilliant Hymns project has crossed the 100k sold mark in its two weeks on the charts (easily the fastest a Country/Hymns project like this has hit that number in quite some time). at #3 this week is Sam Hunt's Montevallo.

Rounding out the Top 5 is Vince Gill's Down To My Last Bad Habit. Vince has sold nearly 25k copies in two weeks.
