[Updated: Garth Brooks’ Man Against Machine originally reported as 118k in sales during debut week. Sales were adjusted up to 130k due to SoundScan’s reporting revisions of this week’s sales numbers.]

Garth Brooks roped in 130K in debut week sales of his comeback album, Man Against Machine. This puts him at the top of the Country album chart and at No. 4 on the all-genre chart.

Carrie Underwood’s “Something in the Water” swims into the No. 1 spot, selling 57K TW/ 423K RTD.
