Sugarland saw "Love On The Inside" debut at the 2nd spot on the Billboard Top 200 charts in the last week of July as the album's debut single also was in a holding pattern at Number Two on the Hot Country Songs chart. Sugarland had a better week this week, the first week of August as their album moved past Miley Cyrus' "Breakout" to land the top spot on the Billboard Hot 200 Albums chart. In addition, Sugarland's single "All I Want To Do" hit the top of Billboard Hot Country Singles chart while their previous album "Enjoy The Ride" was the fifth best selling country album this past week.
Taylor Swift held onto the number two and three places on the charts with her self-titled debut album and her Wal-Mart exclusive "Beautiful Eyes CD/DVD combo pack. Toby Keith took home the fourth highest charting album of the week as he moved 15,844 more copies of the double disc "35 Biggest Hits" collection.

Veteran country star Randy Travis continues to sell his new album "Around The Bend" moderately well despite it not featuring any radio hits while newcomers Lady Antebellum and Julianne Hough continue to steadily sell copies of their self-titled debut albums while superstars The Eagles have moved 6,800 more copies of their double-disc Wal-Mart exclusive album "Long Road Out of Eden." Blake Shelton's "Pure BS" moved 6,000 more units but the albums underwhelming performance may be the reason for his label ditching other songs from it in favor of a new single from an upcoming album.
Chart Place | Artist | Album | This week | Total | |
74 | Randy Travis | Around The Bend | 7,621 | 48,623 | |
84 | Julianne Hough | Julianne Hough | 6,964 | 178,621 | |
90 | The Eagles | Long Road out of Eden | 6,809 | 3,053,200 | |
100 | Lady Antebellum | Lady Antebellum | 6,252 | 202,125 | |
104 | Blake Shelton | Pure BS | 6,007 | 367,932 |
Next week sees the release of three albums by Keith Anderson, Heidi Newfield and award-winning songwriter Jamey Johnson. The odds are against any of them unseating Sugarland from the top but it's not without the realm of possibility that the three could sell more albums than Taylor Swift or Toby Keith. It should be an interesting week.
