Jerrod Niemann Debuts at No. 1

July 21, 2010/by contributor

Sea Gayle/Arista Nashville artist Jerrod Niemann has the No. 1 country album in the nation as Judge Jerrod & The Hung Jury tallies first-week sales approaching 34,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan, breaking Lady Antebellum’s six-month streak atop Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart.

Judge Jerrod & The Hung Jury is only the second country album to debut at No. 1 this year and the first by a male country artist during that time. One of only three albums in 2010 to earn the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart, the album also scores an impressive debut on the all-genre Billboard 200 album sales chart, where it enters at No. 7.

While the hit single “Lover, Lover” is climbing the country radio charts, it’s the whole of Judge Jerrod & The Hung Jury that’s impressing fans, as well as media.

The New York Times cheers, “In sum, Mr. Niemann is a gentleman outlaw, but mostly he’s a history-minded technician on this thoughtful, magnetic record,” while USA Today declares, “You’ve got to love a country album that opens with a movie-trailer spoof and a ballad comparing one’s lover to cocaine.  Niemann’s a freewheeling honky-tonker … and an intelligent singer/songwriter with a penchant for cornball humor.”

Niemann is also in esteemed company as one of only seven male artists on this week’s Billboard Top Country Albums chart to have hit No. 1 with their current releases, including Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, George Strait, Toby Keith, and Tim McGraw.

Judge Jerrod & The Hung Jury features eight skits alongside a dozen songs, ten of which were written or co-written by Niemann. A throwback to the days of the album as musical journey, Judge Jerrod & The Hung Jury was crafted as a start-to-finish listening experience.

This Friday (6/23) Niemann will appear on GAC’s Top 20 Country Countdown, as well as on the new episode of CMT Insider, premiering this Saturday (6/24). The singer is also the focus of a feature in the new issue of Country Weekly, on sale now.

Following a packed schedule of upcoming appearances, Niemann will hit the road with headliner Gary Allan and Randy Houser on Allan’s Get Off on the Pain tour in September.
