Top 10 Country Albums: October 30, 2018

See who follows Jason Aldean on this week's rundown of the best-selling (in pure sales) albums.

With another 13,000 copies in the counter, Jason Aldean's Rearview Town remains at #1 this week while Eric Church sits at #2. (We should note that Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit's Live At The Ryman is not on this rundown this week but it would've debuted at #1 if it was there. It sold over 14,100 copies its first week out). At #3 is Carrie Underwood;'s Cry Pretty. Her sales are still quite strong for a record without a massive hit (yet). It's well on its way to Platinum. Luke Combs's debut is at #4 while Chris Stapleton's own solo debut is at #5 (it's closing in on 2.4 million albums sold).

Kane Brown, Stapleton, Cole Swindell and Kenny Chesney round out the Top 10 while Martina McBride, JJ Rupp, and Hardy are amongst the debuts on the chart below this week. Last week's debuts including Morgan Evans and Jimmie Allen are also chronicled.

    Courtney, The numbers are correct (there may be a missplaced comma or something) As for official posts by me, they'll always include the picture with me.

    No, the site isn't going anywhere. Just someone who doesn't have anything better to do commenting (and now deleted).

  • Jon

    Can someone please delete the comment section... it's false. Must be a prank.

    Are these sales numbers off , Matt?

  • Yo, Matt Bjorke

    @Matt Bjorke, any news on current whole sales consumption units for albums? I want to know where Jon Pardi California sunrise is... it was over 900k units in September. It must be at platinum numbers now.... Wonder if Capitol Records will throw a platinum party? They did for Luke Combs and Brett Young...
