Raelynn announced today they are delaying the album till 2017. The pre-sale actually looked like it was going pretty well on itunes, and she had an appearance lined up on Ellen for album drop day (dec 2nd). The release teases a new opportunity for the album, I would guess they're adding a duet with Blake. theboot.com/raelynn-wildhorse-album-delayed/I really hope that she actually gets to release her debut album. I'm not the biggest RaeLynn fan by any means, but she was constantly writing and looking forward to putting out a full album over on Big Machine, but it never happened. And, I get it. Radio and industry logistics didn't match up. But, I hate that there is yet another delay on a different label. At least this time she seems optimistic. The iTunes pre-order date has been changed to June 30, 2017.

Does anybody know the first week sales on Garth Brooks "Ultimate Collection" from Target? And where it's gonna be on the album charts.

I wanted this album so damn bad. :'( I can't believe I have to keep waiting even longer for it. And ugh @ the iTunes date saying next June. I sure hope it doesn't take that long for it to come out. </3

My guess is that the song is doing better than expected (and maybe pre-order sales were stronger than expected too) so the label has decided to continue pushing the song and holding off on the album until it gets farther up the chart because with good sales and callout (maybe? I don't keep track of callout) they now see "Love Triangle" as a potential hit, whereas before they were going to put out the album because RaeLynn had it ready to go and the label didn't expect much from the single.
Adding a duet (a la Kenny Chesney) would also make sense, but I could see my initial scenario being part of the decision as well.

If "Love Triangle" turns into a hit for RaeLynn, then I'm all for waiting.

The only good thing about this, is that it'll come out after the holiday. Cus who pays attention to new music in December unless its Christmas. lol

Does anybody know the first week sales on Garth Brooks "Ultimate Collection" from Target? And where it's gonna be on the album charts. It isn't eligible for the Billboard chart, as it does not meet their threshold of $3.49 per disc.

It's 134k, but it won't be on the billboard chart. The price on the box set wasn't high enough per cd to qualify under the chart rules. Otherwise, it would lead the album sales chart (but not the sps chart).

It's ridiculous to have that measure, honestly. Billboard and arbitrary rules (rules I know we're created to prevent another $1 digital million seller).

It's ridiculous to have that measure, honestly. Billboard and arbitrary rules (rules I know we're created to prevent another $1 digital million seller). I understand what you're saying and this post is an indirect reply. Billboard does NOT make up rules as they go and they are not arbitrary. Billboard is just a chart provider and the set of rules for the charts are being proposed to/started/suggested by and negotiated with the leading record companies, the retailers, the various American radio associations, etc. The minimum retail price for a single CD eligible to chart had been set for ages; and everybody is aware of that. It's not like it's news (or unfair treatment). Eight years ago store exclusives wouldn't even be allowed to chart on the main chart. PS: And yes, a million $1 seller is still possible (unlikely, but theoretically possible). I'm even inclined to believe that this all was a deliberate move by Target and Garth Brooks to get maximum exposure for their respective brands, this release, and "Gunslinger". (This is a personal opinion and highly speculative)

Artist: Faith Hill Album: Deep Tracks Label: Warner Bros. Release date: Nov. 18, 2016
Faith Hill's former label is putting together a unique collection of cuts across her seven albums that she's put out for them that were never released as singles. Entitled Deep Tracks, the project highlights some songs that didn't have a radio spotlight on them the first time they were released on previous LPs.
For every single about love that makes the airwaves and becomes a smash hit, Hill has had a deep collection of other songs that have stood the test of time and offer listeners not only insight into her life, but also something more universal that anyone who has felt the pangs and pleasure of love can relate to. Many of these tracks selected deal with those emotions, both positively and negatively.
It's been nearly ten years since we heard Faith Hill on a new album (save for a Greatest Hits and Christmas project) and her long-awaited album rumored to be called Illusion seems have to been shelved. The last single released in 2012 was "American Heart."
1. Better Days 2. Somebody Stand By Me 3. If I Should Fall Behind 4. Free 5. If This Is the End 6. Back to You 7. Unsaveable 8. If You Ask 9. You Stay With Me 10. Wish for You 11. Boy 12. Why 13. Come to Jesus This album enters the country albums chart at #22 with 4000 sold.

I wouldn't call much of it Country. Standout tracks are "House On Fire", "Ready To Fall", "Unholy Spirit" and "One Mississippi."

I enjoyed it, I like the bluesy stuff like from Stapleton, Cobb, more than the jazzier(?) (I guess don't know to really describe it) stuff that Isbell and East are doing
