Blake Shelton's latest isn't selling so hot thus far.
I glanced further down the chart to notice Cold Ford enjoying a six-figure sales total for his present release, despite an almost complete lack of airplay and promotion.
In that context, Shelton is in pitiful territory.
Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus

Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus This is the exact reason why Singles sales matter more and more and why a chart which incorporates that metric into 'hot country songs' type of chart would be a fantastic addition to the world.

Some numbers, thanks to melody56 in the General Music News forum: 26 25 03 The Reason Why, Little Big Town 11,966 -25 15,962 69,872 31 28 04 Cowboy's Back In Town, Trace Adkins 10,999 -27 15,113 99,769 Wow I'm actually impressed with Little Big Town and Trace Adkins' sales thus far. Trace's single isn't even in the top 20 and LBT have sort of floundered with singles and album sales since 'The Road To Here.' It may sound ridiculous indicating that sales under 100K are impressive but I'm taking the current 'state' of album sales into great consideration when I say this.

60 JOEY + RORY ALBUM NUMBER TWO 6,981 999 5 6,986 They debuted a spot higher on the country chart, but they sold about 1k more of their last album in the first week. I was hoping they'd sell more this time around. Guess its not too bad considering there was no hit single.

If I Die Young is about to get 500k. Pretty impressive. Yeah, It is and it's helping generate buzz for the band's full-length that comes out in October. It is also interesting to see that "Love Like Crazy" has sold nearly 600k and that "Need You Now" is over 4x platinum while Devil Went Down To Georgia is 1.2 million (I assume this is more than digital but could just be digital).

Predicted Album Sales from Billboard
UMG/Taylor Swift is expected to ship 1.8 million units of "Speak Now" and is projecting first-week sales of 750,000 units, sources say.Kenny Chesney's "Hemingway's Whiskey" (Sept. 28) is expected to ship about 400,000 units, with first-week sales projected at 225,000. Sugarland's "The Incredible Machine" (Oct. 19) and Rascal Flatts' "Nothing Like This" (Nov. 16) are each expected to ship about 500,000 units and have first-week sales of about 200,000.
Other predictions for new albums - first week sales Keith Urban should sell over 160,000 of his new album Reba should sell over 100,000 of her new album Loretta Lynn's tribute album should sell over 10,000 copies, due to the big name artists on it

No, they mean 10,000. Tribute albums don't usually sell much so I don't see this as a typo.

I think Sugarland's numbers will be bigger. I see more in the 250,000-300,000 range. They always under estimate Sugarland's sales.

I guess you mean 100,000, right? When i said other predictions in my post before, i meant my predicitions, and im gonna be blunt here- there is no way loretta lynn's tribute album will sell over 100,000 copies in the first week, im also 100% sure that wont happen, her last album sold 32,000 copies in its opening week, and it was highly promoted and highly rated, maybe it can scrape a 20,000 but 100,000 is way too much for her to sell, even with miranda lambert and carrie underwood attached to it.

I agree. I can't see Loretta Lynn's album selling even half of that figure (100k) in its first week.

Miranda's sales are fantastic, it should go platinum very soon.
I am really surprised that joey&Rory are selling more than james otto, even though i like their music more, but didnt james have more chart success, i guess having a chart hit means nothing these days, since billy had a #1, and opened with those dissapointing sales.
Im also really happy about zac brown band's album sales, im glad they sold more than maroon 5.

I was hoping that Maroon 5 would have topped the chart as I really like their album and prefer their music WAY more than I do ZBB's.

Kenny Chesney Tops SoundScan Charts with 'Hemingway's Whiskey'By: Matt Bjorke Last Updated: October 6, 2010 11:10 AM For the second week in a row the top-selling album in the United States belongs to a country artist. Kenny Chesney takes over the top slot on the Nielsen SoundScan Hot 200 Albums chart with his latest BNA Records album Hemingway’s Whiskey selling over 183,000 copies the first week out. The album features the two-week #1 hit single “Boys of Fall” and ensures 2011’s concert season will feature the superstar packing stadiums around the country after a quiet 2010. The Zac Brown Band slides from #1 to #3 on the Hot 200 Albums chart while claiming country’s second slot with You Get What You Give finding another 70,000 homes giving the album a solid 223,000 plus homes in two weeks on the chart. Billy Currington’s new single “Let Me Down Easy” helps keep the two-week old Enjoy Yourself as the third place finisher on this week’s country tally with nearly 70,000 fans now owning the disc. Jamey Johnson’s critically-acclaimed The Guitar Song is the fourth-best-seller this week as the double disc opus now has passed the 100k mark and actually is over 113,000 units sold. Rounding out the Top 5 country albums on the Nielsen SoundScan Hot 200 Albums chart this week is this year’s second-best selling album in all genres, Lady Antebellum’s Need You Now. Already on a fourth single with “Hello World,” there’s likely a good bet that the group will come out with a new album sometime in 2011 unless they go 6-7 singles deep on the album.

Funny how everone bad mouths Toby for releasing an album every year when Kenny does the same thing. Who badmouths Toby for releasing an album every year? Also, 4 out of those 10 albums listed are not studio albums (2 greatest hits, 1 live album, and 1 album that wasn't promoted to country radio).

Kenny Chesney Could Hold Top Spot On Next Week's Billboard 200 October 06, 2010 - Retail By Keith Caulfield www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/content_display/industry/e3ie6b00e94a5963b09976561f4f2176a7cKenny Chesney's "Hemingway's Whiskey" may retain the top slot on the Billboard 200 albums chart next week, but there's an outside chance Toby Keith's new "Bullets in the Gun" could fire up at No. 1, depending on how the rest of the week shakes out. If, as industry sources suggest, Chesney's "Whiskey" will take another swig atop the list, it will mark the singer's first multiple-week run at the top of the chart. His previous five leaders all spent one week each at No. 1. As for Keith, if "Bullets" bows in the top 10 (which is all but a certainty), it will be his 11th top 10 set. If it reaches No. 1, it will be his fourth. Neither "Whiskey" nor "Bullets" are expected to sell more than 100,000 in the week ending Sunday, Oct. 10. Other albums aiming for a top 10 entry next week include Bruno Mars' debut full-length "Doo Wops and Hooligans," Waka Flocka Flame's "Flocaveli" and perhaps David Archuleta's "The Other Side of Down."

Wow, i just thought of something, if darius rucker debuts at #1 on the billboard 200, it would be the first time the #1 album on the billboard 200 would be from the country genre in 7 consecutive weeks.
1st week - Zac brown band 2nd week - Kenny Chesney 3rd week - Kenny Chesney 4th week - Darius (Maybe) 5th week - Sugarland 6th week - Taylor Swift 7th week - Taylor Swift
It could have been 8 consecutive weeks, if susan boyle wasnt releasing her album on november 9th, but still it would be pretty cool if this happened.
