For the second week in a row, The Highwomen hold fort at #1 with their self-titled debut record. The album is followed by one of two compilations of the history of Country Music in audio form, companion pieces to Country Music: A Film By Ken Burns that's now airing on PBS. Sheryl Crow's Threads, said to be her final album, sits at #3 in it's third week while Trisha Yearwood's Every Girl sits at #4 with sales of nearly 16,000 to date. Chris Stapleton's timeless Traveller sits at #5 with exactly 2.357 million copies sold to date.
Luke Combs' first album This One's For You (too) sits at #6 with sales of 525k plus to date (it's Multi-Platinum in total consumption) while Tanya Tucker's While I'm Livin' showcases a star back in her element with sales now nearing 18,000 to date. Home Free (who debuted at #2 last week) slide down to #9 with their self-released Dive Bar Saints while Midland and Vince Gill's latest albums help make the Top 10 a decidedly traditional country-leaning chart.
Notables read the rest of the chart with Carrie Underwood, Thomas Rhett, Kacey Musgraves, Willie Nelson, Maren Morris, Rodney Crowell and John Prine being joined by newcomers like Tyler Childers, Hardy, Corb Lund, Morgan Wallen, Lainey Wilson and Paul Cauthen among others.
