Shelton makes top 10
Wednesday, August 18, 2010 – Blake Shelton's "All About Tonight" is the sixth best selling release in the U.S. with 33,000 units sold in its debut week. This was far behind the number one disc by Eminem, "Recovery," which retook the top slot by selling 133,000 units.
While the news was good for Shelton in going to the top of the country chart, it was a far cry from the initial sales of "Hillbilly Bone" earlier this year. That EP sold 71,000 its first week out in March and has sold 234,000 units to date.
Shelton had the only country disc in the top 10.
Full chart information will be released Thursday by Billboard.
Overall album sales were down six percent compared to the previous week and 16 percent for the similar week of 2009. Year to date album sales - 185.1 million - have slid 12 percent compared to 2009 when 211.1 million were sold by this point.

Blake Shelton's 11th studio album finds The Voice advisor in a contented, one might even say homey, frame of mind. The opening track and first single "I'll Name the Dogs" sets the tone. It's a rollicking ode to domesticity that manages to make household chore distribution ("You find the spot and I'll find the money / You be the pretty and I'll be the funny") both romantic and amusing.
