Country Album Sales Comparison
- Thread starter AdrianAustraliaCarrie
- Start date
I haven't bought the album but have heard most of the tracks on you tube and I think it's a really good album but they are just another victim of how album sales are and when your album sales are just alright to begin with and you don't sell, things go bad like their opening week sales.
It's to bad because they are very talented.

Girl Crush is amazing.The cd is really solid.
I think DD is one of the weakest tracks.It's clearly not helping sell the cd.
Not sure why they don't dump it for a better song.
Girl Crush is amazing.

^^Yikes all around on those totals. I'm really worried that the Swon Brothers will lose their album deal with those totals. The other artists at least have their longevity and reputation working for them. But those type of sales for a new artist spell big trouble. That's a real shame because they are super talented and seem like great people, too. I hope things turn around through the holiday shopping season.

Oh and this post is to JB and Donna - I did start listening to Pain Killer although I never made it through the whole album. I did get to hear Girl Crush and you were both right - it is an amazing song. I am glad to hear that it is going to be their next single. I can't say that the rest of what I heard did much for me, but it's because a lot of their music is either too mellow for me or sounds like it came out of the 60s/70s, which are two decades of music that I do not like all that well.

^ Do we have Garth Brooks' numbers yet? I feel like Trisha is going to have a very bad opening week for some reason. There does not seem to be too much interest and her lead single was a dud. I love her though.
Also Do you have Leanne Rime's exact Christmas album numbers? Just curious. tx.
Poor Darius Rucker. His numbers are bad too. Everyone is doing pretty bad lately.

Sad, isn't it? Taylor sold more than the top 10 country artists combined. Zac Brown's GH sales are interesting. I think Carrie will do much better. Thought Garth would sell more, but his act really looks outdated now. No appeal to the younger crowd. Pop artists (other than TS) didn't fare very well, either. Surprising so close to Christmas season.

Zac doesn't have SITC, tho. That song is everywhere. I love ZBB, but don't think they have the universal appeal that Carrie enjoys. I'm still hoping for at least three times Zac's number. My gosh, CF members will almost equal Zac by the time we get our multiple gift copies lol.

I was worried a long time ago, even the country single sales are pretty dismal. At least ZBB's GH will get a Black Friday boost, Carrie's GH won't even be out yet. : (
However, ZBB had no promo and as txacar mentioned above, Carrie has SITW. I still think she'll open with less than 100K but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's at least 75K.
