* NOW A LOOK AT COUNTRY MUSIC & THE PEOPLE MAKING IT TODAY *
George Strait's Troubadour
Is the Week's Bestselling Album of All
George StraitAll hail, King George!
George Strait's Troubadour tops both Billboard's country
and all-genres album charts this week with first-week
sales of more than 166,000 copies. That's quite an
achievement for a guy who first began charting 27 years
ago.
Trade Adkins looms on the peak of the song chart for the
second straight week with "You're Gonna Miss This." In
so doing, he holds Strait's "I Saw God Today" at bay in
the No. 2 niche.
Five other albums make their first visit to the charts
this period. Entering at a very impressive No. 4 is Josh
Gracin's We Weren't Crazy, followed by Aaron Watson's
Angels & Outlaws (No. 28), Willie Nelson's One Hell of
a Ride (No. 46), Kathy Mattea's Coal (No. 64) and the
various-artist assemblage, The Very Best of Outlaw
Country (No. 65). Nelson, by the way, has been charting
since 1962 and Mattea since 1983.
Only two new songs crack this week's listing -- former
Trick Pony member Heidi Newfield's "Johnny & June"
(No. 46) and Lonestar's "Let Me Love You" (No. 60).
After its quick on-and-off debut, Dolly Parton's "Jesus
& Gravity" returns at No. 56.
Among the week's remaining Top 5 albums, Taylor Swift's
self-titled CD simmers at No. 2, Alan Jackson's Good
Time at No. 3 and Carrie Underwood's Carnival Ride at
No. 5.
Trailing Adkins and Strait within the Top 5 songs, in
descending order, are Chris Cagle's "What Kinda Gone,"
James Otto's "Just Got Started Lovin' You" and Swift's
"Picture to Burn."
