Top 10 Country Albums Sales Chart: April 30, 2018

The pictured Brothers Osborne lead the debuts on this week's pure album sales chart recap. See how well your favorites fared this week!

With another 24,000 more fans buying his album, Jason Aldean remains at #1 for a second week (but it'd take a miracle for him to hold that slot next week with Keith Urban set to bow with Grafitti U). Aldean's latest, Rearview Town has sold nearly 187,000 copies in two weeks. No small feat in this streaming age. Brothers Osborne's sophomore album Port Saint Joe debuts with nearly 19,000 sold (over 22,000 sales plus streaming to land at #15 on Billboard Top 200; Aldean sits at #5 after debuting at #1 there last week). At #3 is rural rap artist Upchurch. He continues to put out the albums at a fast pace and remains up there with The Lacs, Colt Ford and Smo as big sellers in the country subgenre. He moved nearly 12,000 Creeker albums last week. John Prine's The Tree Of Forgiveness debuted last week to over 52,000 albums sold and this week the iconic singer/songwriter sits at #4 with 7,700 more fans taking home his first all-new collection in 13 years. There are now nearly 61,000 copies of the album going around. Old Crow Medicine Show's Volunteer debuts at #5 with 6,500 copies sold.

Chris Stapleton has three of the #6-#10 selections with both From A Room album volumes and Traveller and is joined by Kenny Chesney (at #6) with his Live From No Shoes Nation double album enjoying robust sales again with sales now at 416k to date. Kacey Musgraves is the other artist in the second half of the Top 10 with her latest album, Golden Hour sitting at #9 with over 60,000 copies sold to date (including vinyl, CD and digital). Stapleton's albums have collectively sold over 3,000,000 copies to date.

Ashley Monroe and Joshua Hedley lead the debuts on the lower section of the chart with Monroe just missing the Top 10 with Sparrow. Hedley's Mr. Jukebox somehow was counted twice on this chart (likely the digital/CD and Vinyl edition). We combined the two for the sake of our chart which has him sitting at#17 with sales of 2,200 for his debut on Third Man Records. Other notables include Darius Rucker, Caroline Jones, Ashley McBryde, Walker Hayes, Reba, Scotty McCreery, Jon Pardi, Chris Young and Shania Twain, among others.
