As if notching a second consecutive #1 album weren't enough, Thomas Rhett continues to redefine the sound of country music and make history with Center Point Road. The Valory Music/BMLG star earned a record-breaking 33m on-demand audio streams for his songs from the album, claiming the biggest streaming debut week ever for a country album.
“The reception for this new music has been mind-blowing from the start,” said Rhett. “In these last two years of life, a lot has happened that gave me a lot to write about. I just feel super honored and super blessed that we got to make this record with such an incredible team. Huge shout-out to the fans for listening to it and supporting every release along the way. It has been such a whirlwind, for the album to finally be out and to see this kind of response is just mind-blowing.”
The album achieved 159k in total consumption after its debut week, including consumption of all tracks prior to album release week.
