I see at #10 on the country albums chart this week is a group called the Casey Donahew Band. Who in the hell are they? I never heard of them before. Plus, the spelling of Donahew. What's up with that? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casey_DonahewIn regards to the spelling: IDK, maybe it's because it's the guy's last name? Just throwing that out there... ??? Thanks for the link. O.K., Casey Donahew is a regional Texas artist that had a CD chart in 2009 and just collected his first ever top ten CD this week. As for the last name, I am more familiar with Donahue and Donohue.

^ Agreed. Although her digital sales are still pretty respectable. I expect them to increase once she gets in the Top 10 on the country chart, because this song is clearly going places. ;)

Thanks for sharing, langdon. Martina's sales are actually pretty good, considering where she is on the airplay chart. She's already got about as much as such hits like "Baggage Claim", "Long Hot Summer", "Made In America", and "Let It Rain", and those are only recent examples. And FYI, sales for Luke Bryan's "Country Girl (Shake It For Me)" are actually around 1.4 million The Digital Tracks list usually doesn't count sales for songs with more than one version, or it will start from 0 again when a song is released to another format, so it's off with Luke, Jason's "Dirt Road Anthem", Lady A's "Just A Kiss" & "Need You Now", Brantley Gilbert's "Country Must Be Country Wide", and David Nail's "Let It Rain" (not sure why it's off for David). Until the Hot Digital Songs list leaks, we can only estimate the total sales of a few songs. Otherwise, this list is accurate.

I see CCM discrepancies all the time with the SoundScan charts too so these shouldn't be considered 100% accurate but more of a 'guide' for how songs are doing.

That doesn't really make sense, though. Wouldn't the current singles by The Band Perry, Jason Aldean, and the Zac Brown Band be in the same situation? Those albums all came out around the same time that Heminway's Whiskey did. Also, "Need You Now" is still listed on the Digital Tracks list and not the Catalog list...that's definitely much older than "Reality" is.

It seems too weird to be anything other than a mistake.

Country Album Sales Dipped Slightly in 2011, but Overall CD Sales Up for First Time Since 2004
Lady Antebellum, Jason Aldean, Taylor Swift Post High ScoresJanuary 5, 2012; Written by Edward Morris Total country album sales dipped 1.8 percent in 2011 from their 2010 level, according to a report released Wednesday (Jan. 4) by Nielsen SoundScan, the company that monitors retail record sales and on whose figures the Billboard sales charts are based. In raw figures, this was a slide from 43,718,000 albums to 42,923,000. The situation was worse last year when country fell 5 percent. Overall, however, total album sales in all musical formats increased 1.3 percent over the previous year -- up from 326.2 million to 330.6 million. This is the first time since 2004 that a current year outsold a previous year in this broad category. Cheerier still is the fact that overall recorded music sales -- which covers not just albums, but also singles, digital tracks and music videos -- vaulted from 1,507 million to 1,611 million units, a jump of 6.9 percent. Figures are not yet in for the Top 10 best-selling digital artists of the year. Country wasn't the only format that lost sales. Also down were Christian/gospel (by 2 percent), Latin (4.3 percent), metal (1.1 percent), R&B (4.2) and soundtracks (19.4 percent). Jazz experienced the biggest increase: 26.2 percent, followed by new age (16.2 percent), electronic (15 percent), classical (6.8 percent), rap (3.4 percent), alternative (2.4 percent) and rock (1.9 percent). Rock was the biggest-selling format, sending 105,685,000 albums across the scanners. Dismal as the year may have been for the country music industry as a whole, Lady Antebellum, Taylor Swift and Jason Aldean had plenty of sales to celebrate. Lady A's Own the Night sold 1,204,000 copies, making it the 10th best-selling album of the year in all formats. It was the only country album to make the ranking. (Adele's 21 topped the list with sales of 5,824,000 copies.) All three of the above-cited country artists made the Top 10 list of best-selling artists for 2010. This category counts all album titles by an artist sold within the year. Lady A came in sixth with 2,180,000 sold, Aldean eighth (1,884,000) and Swift ninth (1,847,000). (Again, Adele wore the crown with 6,744,000 units sold.) During the holiday buying season, which SoundScan measured from Nov. 7, 2011, to Jan. 1, 2012, Lady A's Own the Night was the only country album to make the Top 10. In the Top 10 physical album sales -- which include cassette, CD and vinyl copies but not digital ones -- Aldean's My Kinda Party ranked third, Own the Night seventh and Swift's Speak Now 10th. Aldean's "Dirt Road Anthem" was the best-selling digital country song of the year with a total of 2,575,000 downloads. No country single made the Top 10 most-played songs of the year list, according to Nielsen BDS, which monitors airplay. However, Swift and Lady A ranked seventh and ninth, respectively, among the Top 10 most-played artists. In addition to compiling music sales for the past year, the Nielsen SoundScan report also cites major achievements by artists during what it calls the "Nielsen SoundScan Era," a period that runs from 1991, when the technology was first launched, until the present. Country measures up well here, too. Garth Brooks is far and away the top artist of this era with 68,561,000 albums sold, better than 5 million more albums than the second-place Beatles. George Strait is sixth on the list (43,310,000), Tim McGraw eighth (40,169,000) and Alan Jackson ninth (38,860,000). Among the Top 10 best-selling albums of the era, Shania Twain ranks second with Come on Over, which has now moved 15,513,00 copies. She is the only country artist on the list and is outstripped only slightly by Metallica's self-titled album, which now totals 15,735,000 copies sold. Swift has two of the Top 10 best-selling digital albums of the era: Fearless (No. 7 with 785,000 copies sold) and Speak Now (No. 10 with sales of 681,000). She is also the fifth best-seller of digital tracks (with 41,821,000 units to her credit) and the only country act represented in the Top 10. CMT.com

I typed up a nice single sales update. The numbers were taken from this post, containing leaked SoundScan numbers, in the General Music News forum (thanks to cesarams). Please note that this list includes every country song that was listed in the Hot Digital Tracks and Hot Digital Tracks Catalog lists (66 country songs total). Also, there are a few songs that have total sales figures marked with an (*)--this is because the Digital Tracks list lists different versions of each song as a separate track. As a result, sales totals marked with an (*) are only estimates because some sales from different versions of each song may not be accounted for, and thus, sales total marked with an (*) are actually probably a bit lower than the actual total sales for those songs.

I love her probably more than anyone else on this board, but I have to say that I am SHOCKED to see Etta James listed on this chart.

I'm a bit surprised to see Toby's album at the top of the country charts. RSC is no doubt making a big impact. His previous few records have failed to go Gold, so seeing this one headed easily in that direction is a nice change of pace.

I'm not surprised at all...people are buying her music because she unfortunately passed away. "At Last" even went Top 10 on iTunes. I think it was more for the fact that she's apparently being considered a country artist on that list, when she clearly isn't? ???

^The list wasn't posted as country-only, though...it's all-genre and someguy just took the country titles over here. Maybe he just felt like leaving Etta on the list..

Still, that's what I find weird. She just sticks out like a sore thumb right now. The fact that she's charting at all isn't odd to me, since Michael Jackson and Amy Winehouse both had big sales resurges after their deaths, so its not uncommon at all.

Sorry guys, I copied the list over and deleted all the non-country titles. I guess I missed Etta. Didn't mean to suggest she was being marketed as a country artist.

Comments:
- "Red Solo Cup" and "I Don't Want This Night To End" continue to dominate. IDWTNTE becomes Luke's 2nd straight platinum hit.
- Jake Owen's "Alone With You" and Lee Brice's "A Woman Like You" continue to do exceptionally well, which is why I believe they will both achieve good airplay peaks. I can see Jake picking up his 2nd #1 hit, and Lee looks good for something in the top 10, possibly rivaling "Love Like Crazy" (only not taking as long).
- Chris Young's "You", Scotty McCreery's "The Trouble With Girls", and the Zac Brown Band's "Keep Me In Mind" are all very close to Gold status. Miranda Lambert's "Over You", Lady Antebellum's "Dancin' Away With My Heart", and Blake Shelton's "Drink On It" all saw sizable sales increases, no doubt due to their rapidly increasing airplay. Kellie Pickler's "Tough" and a handful of Tim McGraw songs also saw huge boosts due to their album releases.
- David Nail's "Let It Rain" eclipsed the 500k mark this past week, and will be certified Gold by the RIAA. Brantley Gilbert's "You Don't Know Her Like I Do" continues to sell well.
- The Pistol Annies' "Hell On Heels" is nearly at Gold status, despite virtually no airplay. Here's something to consider..."Baggage Claim" isn't even close to the sales of HOH.
- Kenny Chesney's "You And Tequila" crosses the 1 million threshold and is now his 3rd Platinum hit (joining "Summertime" and "Somewhere With You"). The Zac Brown Band's "Toes" has now eclipsed the 2 million mark, joining "Chicken Fried" in the double platinum category, although CF is nearing the 3 million mark now.
- The tracks ranked below ~40 are from the catalog chart, and a good deal of them ranked from the 50's-70's on this list are currently on sale for $0.69 on iTunes, I believe.

I actually get the #s up to #100 for current/catalog digital singles now but would lose the right to have 'em if I posted more than the Top 30. I may add a few interesting notes on some songs in the future though :)

The Band Perry is just a few weeks out from 4 million in sales for If I Die Young....I know Need You Now has hit 5 mil, but is that the only song IIDY is chasing now?
