There were several additional worthy debuts this week. Lee Ann Womack‘s The Way That I’m Livin‘ moved 3.4k units, while Big & Rich‘s Gravity moved 6.6k, and Josh Abbott Band‘s EP Tuesday Night moved 5.5k.
Overall album sales are down 14.3 percent YTD, while overall digital sales are down 11.5 percent. Country sales are down 18.8 percent YTD, while Country digital sales are down 12 percent.

Special Note: MusicRow sends our condolences to Spielberg Entertainment’s Neal Spielberg on the passing of his Uncle Dave Benjamin. Spielberg shared, “I lost a very dear relative and inspiration in my life. He is the reason I do what I do when it comes to the music business.” Benjamin was the first WEA Florida sales manager in 1971, after years working for Henry Stone at Tone Distributors.
