I found where it had sold 796,000 as of the end of 2010. So it's probably in the 810-820k range now. Doubt it's selling more than 1,000 units a week. Wide Open and Jason Aldean have both sold 1,412,000 copies each as of last week. Wide Open is still selling around 3,000/week and the self-titled around 1,500. Thanks. That was the ONLY part of the question I tried to answer. I was not aware of the current sales figures for Relentless. I highly doubt that Broken Bow will be shipping another 200,000 copies to get it to the platinum mark.

HDD predictions for Ronnie Dunn. I was expecting so much more.
Former Brooks & Dunn star Ronnie Dunn’s self-titled solo Arista Nashville debut should be right behind that with 45-50k.

I think that is right where I thought he would be. Brooks & Dunn's sales have been dismal lately and Ronnie does not have a huge smash single. Bleed Red did okay, but not enough to spur sales beyond that level.

And Jason Aldean gets a sizable jump from the CMT Awards... right behind Ronnie at 40,000 sold.
Did anyone notice the Boxscore numbers in the BCU? Aldean sold out the 24,000 seat amph in Indy and the 21,000 seat amph outside DC last month. This guy is more than a top tier country superstar.... I'd say he's top dog in the format right now.

You're right. It seems to me that Jason Aldean is getting bigger all the time. I fully expect him to hit #1 with Dirt Road Anthem. For next week on the Billboard Country Albums Chart, I expect the top three to look like this: 1. My Kinda Party-Jason Aldean-definitely going double platinum before 2011 is over 2. This Is Country Music-Brad Paisley-244,000 sold after three weeks 3. Ronnie Dunn-Ronnie Dunn

This is its 10th week on top, which is the longest run by a male solo artist since Kenny Chesney's When The Sun Goes Down logged 14 weeks at #1 in 2004. Wow. Think he could exceed Kenny's record?

If Jason can squeeze in 4+ weeks at #1 between now and September 13th (when Lady A's album drops--Jason probably won't get any #1 weeks after this), he could maybe tie or break the record. But yeah, next week I think Justin Moore will get #1, then Jason might have a chance to pick up 2 more weeks at the top, though I strongly think Brad Paisley's album is going to stay pretty consistent and could challenge. Blake's album is out July 12, so he'll certainly be #1 and could have that for a couple weeks easily with his momentum now. July 26 we have Eric Church and Sunny Sweeney--don't think Sunny has a shot at #1 but Eric could maybe sneak in a week, though I'll guess Blake blocks him. Trace Adkins, Luke Bryan, Eli Young Band, and Jake Owen are all confirmed for August too.
So, not sure if Jason can match Kenny's record, but it'll be interesting to see how it all plays out.

I think he's got a good shot at beating the record if his sales keep up the way they've been going. He only needs 5 more weeks at the top spot, and he doesn't have any huge competition aside from opening weeks from the likes of Justin Moore, Blake Shelton/Chris Young, Trace Adkins, Eric Church, and Luke Bryan in the next few months. Although most of those artists will probably have debut weeks that will easily put them at a #1 debut, I don't think they'll stick around (like Ronnie Dunn, he debuted at #1 but he fell to #6 in his second week).

Does Kenny have the record, though? The article said that Jason's stay is the longest since Kenny's in 2004, but did someone else have a longer stay before Kenny? Somehow I find it hard to believe that a Garth or Tim McGraw album wasn't #1 for more than 14 weeks.

^ No, the poster who said that (maria4hitz) said that its the most weeks at #1 for a male artist since Kenny Chesney's album from 2004. I'm sure there's much longer runs from before that.

That's what I thought. I guess I'm not sure how it would be beating Kenny's record, since Kenny doesn't have the record.

Kenny's isn't the record. The Billboard article just pointed out that he's the last male to log that many weeks at #1. Or in other words, there hasn't been a male artist at #1 for this many weeks since Kenny.
I know Garth Brooks' "No Fences" album spent a long, long time at #1...I think it might've been over 40 weeks. I know he had one album spend a long time at the top of the country albums chart, but I'm not totally positive it was "No Fences"...I'll bet countryhistorian could figure it out for us ;)

^ I see what you mean; calling it a 'record' is technically incorrect, but my sentiment behind the post remains the same.
Whether he eclipses Kenny Chesney or not, he's still made an impressive total for himself if its the most weeks at #1 for a male artist in 6-7 years!

Yeah, I don't mean that you or anyone was calling it a record...I'll see if I can find what the record is but I'm pretty sure its a Garth album. Kenny was just the last one to have a run of 10+ weeks at #1 for country albums. I like Jason Aldean, and it's nice that his album is a long 15-song one, but I can't listen to him all the time. Again, I like him, but he's not the best vocalist by any means. In that regard, I'm a bit surprised that he's had so much success with this album. I bought it the week it came out and I do like about half of it, but the other half is basically "meh" to me and even the songs I do like are FAR from my favorite songs out there right now, and definitely very, very far from my all time favorites. I'm happy for Jason but it seems that all the really big sellers lately have been average albums at best. I like Lady Antebellum a lot too, and they had the big album from last year (again, I like their album too), but I'd say their debut was better. But I suppose it's all subjective. Critically-acclaimed albums can still sell well (Miranda, ZBB, Taylor are all recent examples). I'm not gonna be "down" on Jason, because he and his team/label have been very smart. The Kelly Clarkson duet was a smash and certainly propelled album sales, and now "Dirt Road Anthem" has been the perfect follow-up, with a Ludacris performance too. Whether people like DRA or not, it's definitely been the right follow-up and I don't think Aldean will have trouble with single #4, either. Ok...done with this tangent now, lol

Always & Forever by Randy Travis spent 40 some odd weeks at #1 back in the 80's. I believe it may have been 43 weeks, but don't hold me to that.

DRA single sales were posted on his official website Country Album Of 2011 June 23, 2011 Country rocker Jason Aldean’s PLATINUM certified album My Kinda Party has earned the No. 1 position on Billboard’s Country Albums chart this week for the 10th time this year and remains the best selling country album of 2011 so far. While My Kinda Party holds strong on the albums chart, the album’s current Top 10 single “Dirt Road Anthem” simultaneously claims the top spot on the all-genre ringtone chart for the fifth consecutive week and on the Country Digital Singles chart. To date, the track has sold over 977,000 digital downloads of its original version and recent remix featuring Ludacris combined. Aldean’s fan-favorite track “Dirt Road Anthem” is the third single off My Kinda Party, which has already spawned two smash hits (“Don’t You Wanna Stay” with Kelly Clarkson and "My Kinda Party”). The album hit big out of the gate, setting a record as the highest first week debut by a male artist in four years, and the now PLATINUM disc has remained planted at the top of the charts since its November release. www.jasonaldean.com/story/news/jason_aldeans_party_continues_into_summer_as_best_selling_country_album_of_2011

I looked it up yesterday and maria4hitz is correct. Correct about what? Kenny having the record for the most #1 weeks (for a solo male artist) with 14? That's not what she posted, and it doesn't seem right to me. I'm thinking you mean that she's correct in saying Kenny was the last guy to have that many weeks at #1, which is of course correct since she was citing a Billboard article. The record for the most weeks at #1 on the country albums chart for a solo male artist has to be more than 14 weeks. Didn't Garth spend a long, long time at #1 with one album? I can't imagine Kenny is the only guy to have as many as 14 weeks at #1... I was fairly certain that Garth Brooks' "No Fences" spent close to 40 weeks at the top...maybe something like 36? And I'm not even sure that's the record but it's certainly more than what Kenny did. There have probably been other guys' albums in the 90's, too, that spent a lot of time at #1...

No, about Kenny Chesney having the longest reign by a male artist with 14 weeks at #1 with When The Sun Goes Down. There has not been an album by a male artist that has since topped the charts for those many weeks. Jason Aldean needs four more! P.S.: By the way, the top three longest reigning country CDs are: 1. Come On Over-Shania Twain-Mercury-50 weeks-1997-2000 2. Always & Forever-Randy Travis-Warner Bros.-43-1987-1988 3. No Fences-Garth Brooks-Capitol-41-1990-1991

^Ok, there. That's what I was wondering. I know Jason has the longest reign (for guys) at #1 since Kenny, but the whole discussion was about whether Kenny's 14 weeks at #1 was the record for male artists, which I was almost certain wasn't.
I don't think Aldean will come anywhere close to the numbers posted by Randy or Garth...we'll see if he can match or pass Kenny, though..

977,000 digital downloads of its original version and recent remix featuring Ludacris combined. LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem" (featuring Lauren Bennett & GoonRock) is pushed back a slot to No. 3 (212,000) despite its 1% sales gain while Pitbull's "Give Me Everything" slips a rung to No. 4 (187,000; down 7%). Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" is stationary at No. 5 (170,000; down 9%), Nicki Minaj's "Super Bass" slides up one to No. 6 (169,000; up 13%) and Lady Gaga's "The Edge of Glory" falls one to No. 7 (149,000; down 1%). Jason Aldean's "Dirt Road Anthem" falls four slots to No. 8 (141,000; down 26%) and Lil Wayne's "How to Love" moves 9-10 (130,000; 1%).So DRA's total sales should be 1,118,000.
