ALL ACCESS congratulates EMI NASHVILLE's ERIC CHURCH and his entire team for the #1 album on the Country album charts for the sales week ending THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11th. CHURCH's sixth studio album, "Desperate Man," debuted with 116,000 equivalent album units, 103,000 of which were in traditional album sales.
CHURCH's "Desperate Man" has the fourth-largest overall week for a Country album in 2018, both in overall units and in album sales. CHURCH trails only CARRIE UNDERWOOD's "Cry Pretty" with 266,000 equivalent album sale (NET NEWS 9/24), JASON ALDEAN's "Rearview Town" with 183,000 in equivalent album units (NET NEWS 4/23), and THOMAS RHETT's "Life Changes" with 123,000 equivalent album sales (NET NEWS 8/14) for a first-week sales total. The tally was enough to land CHURCH at #3 on the all-genre sales chart this week, as well.
