Florida Georgia Line Scores First No. 1 Album

Bob Seger, The Game, U2 and Hoodie Allen also score Top 10 debuts on the Billboard 200 chart.

Country duo Florida Georgia Line nabs its first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart with the arrival of Anything Goes. The set was released on Republic Nashville and sold 197,000 copies in the week ending Oct. 19, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Anything Goes is the pair's second full-length studio effort, following the breakthrough success of Here's To the Good Times. That album was released in 2012 and reached No. 4 on the Billboard 200. It has sold 2.1 million copies and is still on the chart (rising 56-48 in its 98th chart week).

Here's to the Good Times also spawned the smash single "Cruise," which spent a record 24 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart and climbed to No. 4 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100. ("Cruise" is also the best selling country digital song ever, with 7 million downloads sold.)

The new album has already collected five top 40 entries on the Hot Country Songs chart, including the No. 1 hit "Dirt."

Anything Goes is the third consecutive country album to top the Billboard 200, following one-week rules by Blake Shelton's Bringing Back the Sunshine and Jason Aldean's Old Boots, New Dirt. It's the first time the chart's top slot has gone back-to-back-to-back with three straight country leaders in over four years. It last happened on the charts dated Oct. 9-23, 2010, when Zac Brown Band's You Get What You Give, Kenny Chesney's Hemingway's Whiskey and Toby Keith's Bullets In the Gun led the list.

Last week's No. 1, Aldean's Old Boots, New Dirt, slips to No. 2 with 91,000 (down 67 percent).

Rock veteran Bob Seger collects his highest debut ever and his best rank since 1986 as Ride Out debuts at No. 3 (59,000). The last time Seger went this high was in May and June of 1986, when his Like a Rock album spent four consecutive weeks at No. 3. Seger's previous best bow came in 2006 with the No. 4 arrival of his last studio effort, Face the Promise.

Two solo artists with a combined nine top 40 albums arrive together at No. 4 as You+Me debuts with its first album, Rose Ave. (50,000 sold). The duo comprises singer/songwriters Pink and Dallas Green (aka City and Colour). Pink has previously logged seven top 40 efforts, while City and Colour has nabbed two.

Barbra Streisand's former No. 1, Partners, falls 3-5 with 40,000 (down 18 percent).

Sam Smith's In the Lonely Hour rises 10-6 with 37,000 and a gain of 53 percent, following Smith's performances on NBC's The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (Oct. 14) and Today (Oct. 15). This is the album's best sales frame since its fourth week on the chart (week ending July 13, when it shifted 42,000).

Rapper The Game is up next, as his latest album, Blood Moon: Year of the Wolf, debuts at No. 7 with 33,000. He last visited the chart with a new studio set in 2012 with Jesus Piece, which debuted and peaked at No. 6. Blood Moon: Year of the Wolf is The Game's sixth top 10 effort overall, and comes almost exactly 10 years after his debut chart set, Untold Story, bowed on the list (chart dated Nov. 6, 2004).

Another rapper, Hoodie Allen, is up next, starting at No. 8 with his debut full-length effort, People Keep Talking (30,000). Allen has charted two previous EPs (All American, No. 10 and Americoustic, No. 28) that have sold a combined 143,000.

At No. 9, U2's Songs Of Innocence arrives after its first week of commercial release earned 28,000 sales. It's the band's 11th top 10 effort. Previous to its on-sale bow, it was exclusively available as a free download through Apple's iTunes program. The offer generated 26 million downloads globally through Oct. 9, according to the company.

Notably, 96 percent of the album's release-week sales were from physical CDs and vinyl LPs. (It was also the No. 3 selling vinyl set of the week, with a little over 1,000 LPs sold.) For its commercial bow, the album was bolstered with additional new bonus tracks that were not part of the free download through Apple.

The band's last album, the traditionally-released No Line On the Horizon, debuted at No. 1 with 484,000 sold overall in its debut frame.

Closing out the top 10 on the new Billboard 200 is the seventh and final debut in the region: Jessie J's Sweet Talker (25,000). It's the singer's highest charting album, and follows her debut effort, Who You Are, which debuted and peaked at No. 11 in 2011.

Over on the Digital Songs chart, Taylor Swift's "Out of the Woods" debuts at No. 1 with 195,000 downloads sold, marking Swift's eighth No. 1 on the list. Only Rihanna (with 13 leaders), Katy Perry (10) and Eminem (nine) have more No. 1s on the Digital Songs chart.

"Out of the Woods" is the second commercially available song from Swift's upcoming studio release, 1989, due out Oct. 27.

Swift replaces herself at No. 1, as 1989's first single, "Shake It Off," falls 1-2 with 178,000 (up 5 percent). Swift is the first lead artist to occupy the top two slots on the chart at the same time since … Swift herself did it just over two years ago. She also claimed the Nos. 1 and 2 rungs on the Sept. 22, 2012 chart with "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" and "Ronan."

Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass" slips 2-3 with 148,000 (down 12 percent), Maroon 5's "Animals" descends 3-4 with 117,000 (though up 3 percent) and Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj's "Bang Bang" is steady at No. 5 with just over 96,000 (up 2 percent).

Tove Lo's "Habits (Stay High)" moves 4-6 with 96,000 (down 3 percent), Jason Derulo's "Trumpets" blares 6-7 with 86,000 (up 8 percent) and Iggy Azalea's "Black Widow," featuring Rita Ora, is stationary at No. 8 with just over 73,000 (down 5 percent). Sam Smith's "I'm Not the Only One" rises 13-9 with 73,000 (up 24 percent) and Jeremih's "Don't Tell 'Em," featuring YG, is a non-mover at No. 10 with 72,000 (down 3 percent).

Overall album sales in this past chart week (ending Oct. 19) totaled 4.40 million units, down 2 percent compared with the sum last week (4.47 million) and down 6 percent compared with the comparable sales week of 2013 (4.69 million). Year to date album sales stand at 199.93 million, down 14 percent compared to the same total at this point last year (219.57 million).

Digital track sales this past week totaled 17.32 million downloads, up 3 percent compared with last week (16.88 million) and down 13 percent stacked next to the comparable week of 2013 (19.85 million). Year to date track sales are at 900.86 million, down 13 percent compared to the same total at this point last year (1.03 billion).

Next week's Billboard 200 competes with the same week in 2013 when: Katy Perry's PRISM debuted at No. 1 with 286,000 sold. The previous week's No. 1, Pearl Jam's Lightning Bolt, fell to No. 2 with 46,000 (down 72 percent).

Chart Watch: Florida Georgia Line Cruises To #1
By Paul Grein, Oct. 22., 2014- Chart Watch

Florida Georgia Line this week becomes the first male country duo to land a #1 album on The Billboard 200. The twosome achieves the feat with its sophomore album, Anything Goes. This beats out the highest-charting albums by such prominent male country duos as Brooks & Dunn (Hillbilly Deluxe, #3 in 2005), Montgomery Gentry (You Do Your Thing, #10 in 2004) and Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson (Waylon & Willie, #12 in 1978).

One other duo has reached #1 on The Billboard 200. The mixed-gender Sugarland landed three #1 albums between 2008 and 2010.

Anything Goes sold 197K copies in its first week. That’s the largest tally for an album by a country duo since Sugarland’s Love On The Inside sold 203K copies in its first week in October 2010. Anything Goes has already spawned five top 40 hits on Hot Country Songs, including the chart-topping “Dirt.”

Anything Goes is the third country album in as many weeks to debut at #1. It follows Blake Shelton's BRINGING BACK THE SUNSHINE and Jason Aldean's Old Boots, New Dirt. This marks the first time that country acts have accounted for three consecutive #1 albums sinceOctober 2010, when Zac Brown Band's You Get What You Give, Kenny Chesney's Hemingway’s Whiskey and Toby Keith's Bullets In The Gun were #1 in succession.

Florida Georgia Line’s debut album, Here’s To The Good Times, peaked at #4. It’s closing in on 2.1 million in sales.

Anything Goes also opens at #1 on Top Country Albums. Here’s To The Good Times spent 12 weeks at #1 on that chart, including two weeks earlier this year. Florida Georgia Line is one of two acts that have topped Top Country Albums with two different titles in 2014. The other is Luke Bryan.

Jason Aldean's Old Boots, New Dirt dips from #1 to #2 on The Billboard 200 in its second week (91K).

Bob Seger lands his highest-charting album in more than 28 years as Ride Out debuts at #3 (59K). Seger was last this high on the chart in May and June 1986 when Like A Rock logged four weeks at #3. Ride Out is Seger’s second top 10 album as a solo artist, following Face The Promise (#4 in 2006). Either solo or backed by the Silver Bullet Band, Seger has amassed 10 top 10 albums. He has landed at least one top 10 album in five consecutive decades.

You+Me's Rose Ave. debuts at #4 (50K). This is a side project by Alecia Moore, better known as P!nk, and Canadian singer/songwriter Dallas Green, who records as City And Colour. Trivia note: Alice Cooper had a top 10 hit titled “You And Me” in 1977.

Barbra Streisand's Partners drops from #3 to #5 in its fifth week (40K). It’s Streisand’s first album to spend five or more weeks in the top five since 1997’s Higher Ground, which spent seven weeks in the top five. Both albums had strong, easily grasped themes. This is a duets project. Higher Ground consisted of inspirational songs.

Sam Smith's In The Lonely Hour rebounds from #10 to #6 in its 18th week (37K). This is the album’s biggest sales week since it was in its fourth week. The rebound is due in part to Smith’s appearances on The Today Show and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Also, Smith’s follow-up single, “I’m Not The Only One,” leaped into the top 25 on last week’s Hot 100.

The Game's Blood Moon—Year Of The Wolf debuts at #7 (33K). All six of his major-label studio albums have cracked the top 10.

Hoodie Allen's first full-length album, People Keep Talking, debuts at #8 (30K). Allen has had two EPs, including one, All American, which reached #10.

U2's Songs Of Innocence debuts at #9 (28K). It’s the band’s lowest-charting studio album since The Unforgettable Fire peaked at #12 in November 1984. Songs Of Innocence is just U2’s second studio album to fall short of #1 since its 1987 breakthrough with The Joshua Tree. The first was All That You Can’t Leave Behind, which debuted and peaked at #3 in November 2000. The band’s last studio album, No Line On The Horizon, sold 484K copies in its first week in March 2009. Of course, it’s hard to get people to buy something after you’ve given it away for free. I wrote about all this in a blog that we posted last Wednesday. If you missed it, here’s a link.

Jessie J'ssophomore album,Sweet Talker, debuts at #10 (25K). Her debut album, Who You Are, debuted and peaked at #11. The new album includes “Bang Bang,” her smash collabo with Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj, which has reached #3 on the Hot 100.

Idina Menzel’s Holiday Wishes debuts at #13 (20k). It’s among the highest-charting Christmas albums ever by a Jewish artist. This is Menzel’s third trip to the top 20 in 2014. She previously scored with the Frozen soundtrack and the Broadway cast album to If/Then. I posted a separate blog about Menzel’s album on Monday. If you missed it, here’s a link.

The Frozen soundtrack rebounds from #18 to #16 in its 47th week. It's #1 on Top Soundtracks for the 38th week.

Garth Brooks's 2007 album The Ultimate Hits rebounds from #63 to #59 in its 100th chart week. It's #1 on Top Catalog Albums for the third week.

Coming Attractions: Look for Slipknot's .5: The Gray Chapter to enter the chart next week at #1 (around 100K). Also due: Neil Diamond's Melody Road (70K), Logic's Under Pressure (65K), T.I.'s Paperwork (65K), Little Big Town's Pain Killer (30K),Pentatonix's That's Christmas To Me (28K),Annie Lennox's Nostalgia (24K) andAretha Franklin'sAretha Franklin Sings The Great Diva Classics (21K).

Thanks for posting.

This week, we have 40 catalog titles on the Billboard 200.

[trustypepper]

What exactly are the qualifications for a catalog album?

Oh good, I love word association



I'll say.....  *DARK HORSE*     ;)

[braveheart]

why doesn't billboard have a separate chart for EPs ..sometimes seems unfair for EPs to compete against albums

If I'm not mistaken. a CD goes to the catalog chart if the following happens:
1. If it's two years old and falls below #100 on the top 200 chart.
2. If it's off the chart for three months.

I'm sure someone will correct me on this.

Titles move to catalog 78 weeks after release date.
Not sure about the #100 barrier, though, since it was kind of confusing lately on how they relegated albums from the main and the genre charts to catalog. areyoureadytojump Can you assist here? This issue intrigues me.

Not sure about the #100 barrier, though, since it was kind of confusing lately on how they relegated albums from the main and the genre charts to catalog. areyoureadytojump Can you assist here? This issue intrigues me.

So, they only chart for a year and a half, no matter what?

There is a treshold and certainly it must be #100, but not all titles below 100 are immediately removed. There must be another rule in place.
Example: Go to the 03/22/14 Billboard 200 chart: Hunter Hayes is at 136 in its 108th week and yet not catalog. On the Top Current Album list he slithered to 118 in its 119th week and yet not catalog. Made the catalog chart the following week, only.
Maybe the reference chart is the Top current Album Chart and not the Billboard 200. areyoureadytojump will know more.

Interesting. I hope someone will have the answer.

trebor, that was a mistake (Hunter Hayes) by Billboard.

They don't proofread their charts.

Do you have the answer? Under what conditions do albums need to go on the catalog chart? Thanks.
