This Week's rundown showcases a slow release week with nothing really moving inside or outside of the Top 10. Last week's #1 debut, Cole Swindell's All Of It sits at #2 this week (barely) behind multi-week #1 Rearview Town from Jason Aldean. Kenny Chesney's Songs For The Saints, also a recent #1, sits at #3 with sales now over 101,000 copies to date. Luke Combs This One's For You has announced the arrival of a superstar amongst the country format and he remains country music's most-streamed artist of 2018 thanks to a string of hits which includes current Top hit "She Got The Best Of Me." He's rode that wave to a pair of CMA nominations including the toughest category in all of the genre, Best Male Vocalist. Sitting at #5 and with all three of his albums in the Top 10, Chris Stapleton's Traveller. The album has sold nearly 2.4 million albums since coming out four short years ago.
Country fans still buy CDs (I do, too) so there's a market for the Now That's Country Music series and now, on it's 11th edition, sits at #6 this week with 61,000 fans buying the mixtape. Kane Brown may be preparing his sophomore album launch but he's still scoring with audiences who continue to discover his debut. He's sold 446,000 actual copies of the album and, like Luke Combs, he's one of country's most-streamed artists. Alan Jackson's dual disc collection of Precious Memories has proven to be a popular release with close to 292,000 fans owning that specific collection in addition to the single disc versions of them.
Notables include Caroline Jones with her album Bare Feet. The indie country sensation has sold nearly 24,000 copies of a record without any real radio support, quite a remarkable achievement. Aaron Watson's Live At The World's Biggest Rodeo showcases what to expect from his live shows while Dan+Shay, a markedly different artist, continues their climb with their self-titled album (an album which is amongst the most-streamed country albums of 2018). The duo's third LP has sold just under 50,000 actual copies since their June release. CMA nominated album Graffiti U from Keith Urban has scanned nearly 240,000 copies since release while Kid Rock sits at over 170,000 for his 2017 release Sweet Southern Sugar. Other Notables include the new 4 song EP from Florida Georgia Line showcasing their forthcoming album while Brothers Osborne, Cody Jinks, Old Dominion, Sugarland, Shooter Jennings, Jason Isbell, Scotty McCreery and Chris Young all make appearances on our rundown this week.

I think you have the numbers for From A Room Vols 1 & 2 reversed it's sad to see how much album sales have fallen in the last 20 years other than in some special cases like Beatles 1 for example or Adele's 21 the former has sold nearly 13 million copies since it's release in November 2000 while 21 has shipped 15 million since it's February 2011 release
