Old Dominion dominates the charts with their brand new self-titled album, their third for RCA Nashville. The album which features the #1 hit "Make It Sweet" and fast-rising ballad "One Man Band" looks to be taking the band to yet another level. They are followed by Toby Keith whose Greatest Hits The Show Dog Years compilation album opens up at #2 and is as advertised: A collection of his biggest hits during his time at his own record label. Zac Brown Band's The Owl returns to the Top 5 (thanks to a recent round of fan redemptions as part of a ticket bundle) while Brantley Gilbert's Fire And Brimstone sits at #4. Last week's #1, Cody Jinks' The Wanting sits at #5 with 14.7k in pure sales to date. His After The Fire and Lifers have sold 16.3 and 55.1K to date, respectively.
Sitting at #6 is The Highwomen, the first of hopefully a series of albums from the country female supergroup. It has scanned 58.2k copies. Sturgill Simpson sits at #7 with SOUND & FURY while Chris Stapleton's four year old solo debut remains in the Top 10. Traveller has now sold 2.55 million copies to date. Rounding out the Top 10 is Luke Combs debut album This One's For You. It has scanned 537.2k to date.
Notables include the arrival of The Oak Ridge Boys' latest Christmas project Jon Langston's Now You Know EP, Allison Moorer's Blood (a musical companion to her memoir of the same name), The Lacs' Rise And Shine, Darin & Brooke Aldridge's Inner Journey, Crystal Gayle's You Don't Know Me, Blanco Brown's Honeysuckle & Lightning Bugs and Tanya Tucker's While I'm Livin', among a bunch of others.
