“Church” is a huge hit waiting to happen. “Dancing With The Devil”, “Kill A Man” and “Hold On Me” are really strong single contenders too. Just a strong cohesive album. Great work.

I’m interested to see how this fares commercially compared to HARDY who is promoted to the same formats.

[recordyear]

Album is #2 on iTunes and #9 on Apple Music right now, and has good numbers on Amazon Music. My preliminary guess is that it would do similar numbers as Bailey Zimmerman's. If it has solid sales then it may reach HARDY's level.

[recordyear]

Predicted to have 60-65k SPS first week.

[recordyear]

Sorry for triple post, but this is now predicted to have 60k pure sales and 80k SPS. #5 overall.

Oh that boy is on fire and his current single is looking to be a big hit on Country and Active! I think these are significantly better numbers than HARDY, without denying the fact that Jelly has MUCH more televised and mainstream promotion. He’s connecting and it’s great to see!

After one listen to the record, I'd say he's much more effective than HARDY imo at toeing the lines of country and rock. He's not really someone I see myself becoming a big fan of by any means, but I actually found some enjoyment in various songs on the record and it surprised me a little bit. HARDY's latest LP was essentially a hard pass from me outside of the Lainey Wilson and Morgan Wallen collabs.

Definitely agree. I liked a couple songs on HARDY’s album but they burned FAST. I’m not the biggest fan but enjoyed this project and see a bright future for him.

#2 country, #3 top 200 album with 90,000 SPS. Congratulations Jelly Roll.

Damn! Good for him. Not my jam but but he seems like he’s a genuine dude who deserves it.
