Jason Aldeanâs aptly named ninth studio album, 9, debuted at No. 1 on Billboardâs Top Country Albums chart this week.
The 16-song album, which dropped on Nov. 22, moved more than 83,000 equivalent units, according to Nielsen Music. The album also debuted at No. 2 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart.
âPeople buy albums with eight songs for 10 bucks now, but with 9, itâs like youâre getting two whole albums at once,â says Jason. âI want fans to feel like theyâre getting more than they bargained for, and I want it to be something they listen to from top to bottom, and never hit skip . . . or thumbs down or whatever.â
9 marks Jasonâs sixth consecutive album to reach No. 1. The albumâs lead single, âWe Back,â is currently No. 12 on Billboardâs Country Airplay chart after 11 weeks.
