Top 10 Country Albums Sales Chart: June 5, 2018

Jason Aldean leads our rundown while the Davisson Brothers Band and Lindsay Ell lead the new albums on this week's chart.

With Sales over 257,000 full albums to date, Jason Aldean remains at #1 this week with Rearview Town. The superstar’s album has sat at #1 for the majority of his seven week run, save for Keith Urban’s debut with Graffiti U five weeks ago. Urban has remained at #2 for the past three weeks and has scanned over 178,000 units to date. At #3 is the Gold-certified album from Kane Brown. The album has scanned nearly 400,000 copies, a downright remarkable achievement in a market where albums rarely sell full copies anymore when you’re a debuting artist.. At #4 and #5 this week is Chris Stapleton with Traveller and From A Room Vol. 2. The former has sold nearly 2.3 million copies while the latter is approaching 400,000. Stapleton’s From A Room Vol 1 is also at #7 with nearly 800,000 scanned.

Sitting at #6 this week is Willie Nelson’s latest album for Sony/Legacy, Last Man Standing. The album has sold nearly 47,000 to date. Luke Bryan’s What Makes You Country sits at #8 with sales now at 293k to date while #9 we find fellow superstar Kenny Chesney with his double disc live album, Live In No Shoes Nation. He’s scanned 441,000 copies of the album so far so it’s a big achievement for the superstar (though it does still have concert ticket redeems affiliated with it’s yo-yo like sales position week after week). At #10 is Kacey Musgraves with Golden Hour. The album has sold over 78,000 to date, not bad considering it’s not a mainstream country radio chart record.

Notable albums on our rundown include the latest from Brothers Osborne, John Prine, Thomas Rhett and Darius Rucker. New albums in the rundown include the Davisson Brothers Band’s Figher and Lindsay Ell’s The Continuum Project. Others worth searching for are Kelly Willis, Trent Harmon, Old Dominion, Caroline Jones, Scotty McCreery, Taylor Phillips, Kelsea Ballerini, Morgan Wallen, Chris Janson, Ashley Monroe, David Lee Murphy, Brent Cobb, and Brett Eldredge.

    some of these numbers are abysmally low even for a slow period of record buying look for example at Mariah Carey's 1995 album daydream it was selling 50 K a week 8 months after release granted it spawned 3 #1 singles which combined stayed #1 for six months [26 weeks] and two others which reached top 20 adult contemporary mainstream top 40 adult top 40 and or rhythmic as her cover of Open Arms wasn't released as a single in The US

      Courtney, I love that you always comment but you cannot compare sales numbers now to 23 years ago. Especially because there wasn't a way to get a song without buying a whole album. Also, you're comparing sales numbers from a pop superstar 23 years ago to country music. If you were to compare Shania from the same era, Shania was dominating Mariah sales wise.
