This week, Carrie Underwood dominates the chart with the biggest first week for country music in 2018 (over 265,ooo total consumption). Not only that, but it's the biggest debut for any female artist in any genre in 2018 and her best debut since 2012's Blown Away. Sitting at #2 this week is the year's best-selling country album (so far), Jason Aldean's Rearview Town. The album has sold nearly 414,000 copies to date. Dierks Bentley's The Mountain benefits from a tour bundle to jump to #3 with sales now at 156,000+ since releasing earlier this year. Breakout star Luke Combs sits at #4 while Cole Swindell's latest album (All Of It) sits at #5.
Chris Stapleton's Traveller sits at #6 while Kane Brown sits at #8, Kenny Chesney's Songs For The Saints at #8, last week's #1 seller, roots rapper (rural rap?) Upchurch is at #9 while Kid Rock's Sweet Southern Sugar sits at #10. Other notables include new releases from Terri Clark, David Nail and the Well Ravens and Asleep At The Wheel. Also, we check in on a plethora of recent releases like Caroline Jones' Bare Feet, Cody Jinks, Scotty McCreery, Kip Moore, Kelsea Ballerini, Brothers Osborne and Kathy Mattea.

We donât always get total consumption information. Spamming posts to get a response is not a way to get someone to post that info either.
Hey Now
Thanks for the answer back. You never answer questions on this site. Had no idea you even monitored the comment section. Good for you champ.
Heyyyyy
Can you please release the whole consumption album unit sales too??

1. Spam or âtrollingâ is not a way to get someone to do something, even if they had the information youâre looking for. 2. We rarely get those numbers.
