The list of top-selling country albums is finally here! It has been a great year for country contemporaries this year. New and fresh artists have been dominating the country air plays and the sales. We have seen Thomas Rhett and Kane Brown make headlines with their jaw-dropping performances this year. And together with Luke Combs, they outsell the veterans like Carrie Underwood, Blake Shelton, and Keith Urban who have been in the game for years.
The notable slip in Christ Stapleton‘s performance is glaring at everybody. With his hit slipping from the top to no. 4 on the charts, it might be safe to say that there’s a new country king in town. Luke Combs beat him to the top. But despite this, Stapleton remains to prove his star power, with his albums placing at 4th, 7th, and 9th, respectively.
It was a close call for Jon Pardi’s 2016 “California Sunrise,” and Keith Urban’s Graffiti U because they placed in the list of top-selling country albums, just not in the top 10. Florida Georgia Line and Dan + Shay also made the top 15. If you want to see the full list, you can check out Billboard.
Here are the top 10!
10. Carrie Underwood, “Cry Pretty”
9. Chris Stapleton, “From A Room: Vol 1“
8. Brett Young, “Brett Young”
7. Chris Stapleton, “From A Room: Vol 2”
6. Luke Bryan, “What Makes You Country”
5. Thomas Rhett “Life Changes”
4. Chris Stapleton “Traveller”
3. Jason Aldean, “Rearview Town”
2. Kane Brown, “Kane Brown”
1. Luke Combs, “This One’s For You”
With Combs’ stellar performance in 2018, there is no doubt that he certainly deserves the top spot. We were all audiences to his meteoric shot to his fame, and now we can’t wait to see what else he brings to the table this year. For now, congratulations, Luke!
