Chris Stapleton - Higher album cover
Chris Stapleton’s “Higher” proved instantly resonant following its release late Thursday/early Friday.
The new album rocketed to the top of the all-genre US iTunes album sales chart, securing #1 within its first hour of release. It occupies that top spot as of press time at 12:55AM ET Friday morning.
The balance of the Top 5 (Top 6, in fact) belongs to the various Voice Memos of Jung Kook’s recently released album “Golden.”
AJR’s “The Maybe Man” follows at #7, ahead of the 2023 edition of The Beatles’ “Blue Album” (#8), CMA Entertainer of the Year Lainey Wilson’s “Bell Bottom Country” (#9) and the 2023 edition of The Beatles’ “Red Album” (#10).
