Update:<\/b> While the initial Nielsen Music data positioned Alan Jackson’s “Angels and Alcohol” atop the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, a recalculation confirms that Jason Isbell’s “Something More Than Free” was actually the top seller.<\/p>\n

Per Billboard Country Update, Isbell’s album tops the chart with an opening week US sales total of approximately 46,000. Jackson’s album moved a “few hundred shy” of that total in the official July 17-23 tracking week.<\/p>\n

Nielsen’s data initially reported 45,361 sales for “Angels and Alcohol” and 39,775 for “Something More Than Free.”<\/p>\n

The switch to a Friday-Thursday sales tracking week seems to be causing calculation trouble for Nielsen and Billboard. Last week’s numbers faced at least two revisions following their initial publication.
\n=======================
\nAn opening week sales total in excess of 45,000 powers Alan Jackson’s “Angels and Alcohol” to #1 on the Top Country Albums chart.<\/p>\n

It ranks as the #2 album on the overall Top Album Sales chart<\/p>\n

According to Nielsen Music, “Angels” sold 45,361 copies during the July 17-23 tracking week. That tally enabled it to become Jackson’s fourteenth #1 country album.<\/p>\n

With Track Equivalent Albums (10 single sales = 1 album sale) and Streaming Equivalent Albums (1500 single streams = 1 album sale) included, “Angels and Alcohol” generated a first week consumption total of 47,881 units.<\/p>\n

The total slots “Angels” at #3 on the revamped, consumption-oriented Billboard 200. Only Future’s “DS2” and Taylor Swift’s “1989” rank higher.<\/p>\n

Only the Future album generated more traditional sales.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[183,1047,206],"tags":[911,4575],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nAlan Jackson's "Angels and Alcohol" Debuted with ~46K First Week Sales (Updated)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Update: While the initial Nielsen Music data positioned Alan Jackson's "Angels and Alcohol" atop the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, a recalculation\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2015\/07\/27\/alan-jacksons-angels-and-alcohol-debuted-with-45-4k-first-week-sales\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Alan Jackson's "Angels and Alcohol" Debuted with ~46K First Week Sales (Updated)\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Update: While the initial Nielsen Music data positioned Alan Jackson's "Angels and Alcohol" atop the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, a recalculation\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2015\/07\/27\/alan-jacksons-angels-and-alcohol-debuted-with-45-4k-first-week-sales\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Headline Planet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2015-07-27T21:18:30+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2015-07-28T02:00:01+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Alan-Jackson-Press-e1438031895353.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"2500\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1275\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Brian Cantor\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cantorpedia\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@headlineplanet\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2015\/07\/27\/alan-jacksons-angels-and-alcohol-debuted-with-45-4k-first-week-sales\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2015\/07\/27\/alan-jacksons-angels-and-alcohol-debuted-with-45-4k-first-week-sales\/\",\"name\":\"Alan Jackson's \\\"Angels and Alcohol\\\" Debuted with ~46K First Week Sales (Updated)\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2015-07-27T21:18:30+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2015-07-28T02:00:01+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\"},\"description\":\"Update: While the initial Nielsen Music data positioned Alan Jackson's \\\"Angels and Alcohol\\\" atop the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, a recalculation\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2015\/07\/27\/alan-jacksons-angels-and-alcohol-debuted-with-45-4k-first-week-sales\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/\",\"name\":\"Headline Planet\",\"description\":\"Music News & Charts, TV News & Spoilers\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\",\"name\":\"Brian Cantor\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"Brian Cantor\"},\"description\":\"Brian Cantor is the editor-in-chief for Headline Planet.
