January 8, 2015/by Sarah Skates
Old Boots New Dirt starts 2015 at the top of the chart.

“Old Boots, New Dirt” starts 2015 at the top of the chart.

Album sales took a deep dive between the last week of 2014 and the first week of 2015. Overall sales sank 47%, moving 5.274 million this week, while country sales fell 55%, moving 561K. This holiday shopping hangover is on par with the same time period last year.
