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. Would that be multiple artists as you are suggesting, or can it be fewer than the ones shown, or just by one artist?

When you say multiple artists, can it be a few as two?

When you say multiple artists, can it be a few as two? No, last year the record was set for the first time a country album was the #1 album for 3 consecutive weeks. July - August 1st week - Sugarland(Love On The Side) 2nd week - George strait (Twang) 3rd week - Reba (Keep On Loving You) So if what i stated occurs, then it will be 7th consecutive weeks with a country album at #1.

But that lasted only three weeks. I do have a streak of two country artists being at #1 on the top 200 for 23 weeks. It happened in 1992 when Billy Ray Cyrus' Some Gave All was #1 for 17 weeks then Garth Brooks took over for six weeks with The Chase.

Yes, but what I get from his post is that last year was the first time 3 separate country artists dominated the Billboard 200, and it looks like we could have 5 this time.

] Three Country Albums Are in Hot 200 Top 5 This WeekBy: Matt Bjorke Last Updated: October 13, 2010 1:10 PM For the third time in three weeks, the #1 album in the United States is a country music album. Toby Keith earns the distinction this week with his latest album Bullets in the Gun displacing last week’s chart-topper, Kenny Chesney’s Hemingway’s Whiskey, which sits at 32 this week with almost 6,000 units less sold this week. Kenny Chesney has now sold nearly 250,000 copies in two weeks. The Zac Brown Band’s You Get What You Give, the #1 album three weeks ago, slides to #5 on the SoundScan Hot 200 Albums chart this week, giving country music three of the Top 5 albums this week. Jamey Johnson’s The Guitar Song has the fourth highest sales this week for a country album. The record –which features the Top 40 hit “Playing The Part” – has now sold nearly 130,000 copies since being released. Billy Currington’s Enjoy Yourself rounds out this week’s Top 5 with the album finding 15,000 more homes taking a shine to the album. LW TW Artist Album Sales TW Sales Total NEW 1 Toby Keith Bullets in the Gun 70,830 70,867 1 2 Kenny Chesney Hemingway's Whiskey 65,174 248,723 3 5 Zac Brown Band You Get What You Give 43,083 266,854 23 26 Jamey Johnson The Guitar Song 16,296 129,944 21 28 Billy Currington Enjoy Yourself 15,031 84,163 More numbers and the rest of the article here.

^ Thanks for linking to this article. The grouping by sets of 5 albums makes the numbers very easy to grasp (instead of in one big list), and the text is also very helpful. I've been enjoying these articles but have neglected to recognize and thank Matt for them.

I've been enjoying these articles but have neglected to recognize and thank Matt for them. Thanks. We're looking at doing a singles rundown like this as well. The whole idea is to make it easier to understand rather than just bunch the #s together.

Happy for Aaron Watson entering the BB 200 ...his music is always great I'll second that. I didn't realize he had a new album out, but I'll have to check it out b/c he's probably my favorite Texas artist at the moment.

According to an article in this morning's edition of USA TODAY, Billboard is projecting that 'Speak Now' will sell somewhere between 800,000 & 1,000,000 CDs in its opening week.
As if all of us didn't see that spectacular debut coming two months ago!!

There are only 3 country albums that made it into the Top 10 this week. Taylor, Sugarland, and Darius hanging out at 10.
7 in the Top 20 if you count Hannah Montana.

Taylor Swift Owned 41% of US Sales Market last weekBy: Matt Bjorke Last Updated: November 3, 2010 10:11 AM The Impossible has happened. In a time where albums with 200,000 sold routinely top the album sales charts, Taylor Swift has broken the million albums sold plateau her first week out with Speak Now. The artist who remains the #1 digitial sales artist of all times managed to do so with a remarkable amount of these albums being sold digitally. Her final tally of 1,046,718 a whopping 958, 143 thousand copies ahead of the #2 album this week, last week’s #1 album The Incredible Machine. Also, 40% of the SoundScan Hot 200 Albums sold last week had Speak Now on the CD cover and 41% featured Taylor Swift’s name. Swift also had this week’s #1 single on SoundScan with “Mine.” Sugarland’s album moved 88,000 copies giving the crossover-bound duo nearly 300,000 copies sold in two weeks. Darius Rucker’s Charleston SC, 1966 remains steady in the SoundScan Top 10 this week, even rising a notch to #9. It is the third best-selling country release this week as Darius moved just over 27,000 copies giving him 164,000 copies sold in three weeks. The Band Perry continues to be a sales leader and it looks as if some of the same people who like Miss Swift also like the family trio as they jump 4 spots on SoundScan’s Hot 200 chart to #11, with the band now past the 100,000 sales mark in just three weeks. Kenny Chesney rounds-out this week’s Top 5 country albums with his latest, Hemingway’s Whiskey. The set has now moved 338,000 copies. LW TW Artist Album Sales TW Sales Total NEW 1 Taylor Swift Speak Now 1,046,718 1,046,740 1 2 Sugarland The Incredible Machine 88,575 297,408 10 9 Darius Rucker Charleston, SC 1966 27,192 164,803 15 11 The Band Perry The Band Perry 23,370 101,099 13 12 Kenny Chesney Hemingway's Whiskey 23,309 338,090 More numbers and the rest of the article here.

Chesney's latest is holding up remarkably well. It will already outsell "Lucky Old Sun" by the end of this holiday shopping season: an impressive three months into its chart run. Poor Randy Houser can't seem to catch a break abruptly, after claiming the third most played song of 2009 honor. "They Call Me Cadillac" is one of the year's finest country albums, but it looks like it will be relegated to the bargain bins! Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus

The Incredible Machine-Sugarland-60,000 9. Hits Alive-Brad Paisley-31,000 Unfortunate news: Overall music sales are down 13% from a year ago. It also appears that Eminem will have the highest selling album of the year. In other news, that is a huge sales drop for Taylor's "Speak Now" album. 1.04 million down to 320,000 is a huge drop. That is a sales drop of almost 700,000 copies. Taylor's "Speak Now" album had higher debut week sales than Shania Twain's "Up!" (1.04 million vs. 874,000), but Taylor had inflated debut week sales and a huge 2nd week drop. Taylor's 2-week total is 1,367,000. The 2-week total for Shania's "Up!" was about 1,500,000. More news/opinion: Brad Paisley's "Hits Alive" was well promoted had a good debut. I certainly expect the "Hits Alive" sales to stay steady or possibly increase with the CMA awards happening tonight. Hopefully, he'll get the EOTY award tonight.

The Numbers in the above article for Sugarland and Rascal Flatts are all flipped around. The totals for each album are reversed. Sugarland is over 750,000 not RF.
