Hi Matt Really appreciate your time and work with the Chart updates It's great to see the numbers and totals. I think Lonestar's new album probably only sold 600 copies with their #48 debut last week? Congrats to Chris Stapleton on his Billboard Award to complete a clean sweep of country awards. I see that the Americana Assoc are claiming him as one of their own and have him at No.1 on the new Billboard americana/Folk chart
