YOUR TOP 20: NO SHOES, GREAT SERVICE (UPDATE)

Kenny Chesney’s Live In No Shoes Nation (Blue Chair/Columbia Nashville) will become the first live album to hit #1 since Sugarland’s Live On the Inside (Mercury Nashville) in 2009. It accomplishes this fueled by a strong ticket bundle. Kelly Clarkson lands at #2. Two mid-week releases, Chris Brown’s Heartbreak on a Full Moon (RCA) and Without Warning (Slaughter Gang/Epic) from 21 Savage, Offset and Metro Boomin’, are now in the Top 5.
