Quantcast

Top 15

YOUR TOP 15: Jason Aldean will debut at #1 with only the sixth album this year to sell over 200k in a single week, and will in all probability become the third-highest-debuting set of 2014. Three of those 200k+ albums are from Country Acts, the other two being Eric Church (288k) and Brantley Gilbert (211k). Another Country act will likely join this group next week, as Republic Nashville’s Florida Georgia Line is expected to sell well north of 200k.

In other music news, we note that the Beach Boys classic “God Only Knows” from the Capitol comp The Very Best of the Beach Boys: Sounds of Summer (and redone in grand style by an all-star cast for the BBC Music video we told you about on Tuesday), has shot to #2 on the iTunes Rock chart; it trails only the new jam by Columbia’s AC/DC, “Play Ball.” (10/9p)
