Sugarland's "The Incredible Machine" debuts at number one
This marks the third time leads Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush took new albums straight to the top of the charts. Previous highs include 2008's "Love On The Inside" and 2009's "Live On the Inside."
"We are thrilled to be number one this week," said Nettles. "We are grateful for all the fans that bought the album. This is an incredible start on a record that feels big and close to our hearts."
Bush said, "We're excited that so many people bought the album this week. We have been playing many of these songs on tour all year and are happy that fans get to finally have the music in their hands and ears."
Sugarland visits Chelsea Lately tonight and their performance on Ellen on Oct. 28 alongside guest First Lady Michelle Obama. The video for Sugarland's top five hit single Stuck Like Glue was added to VH1. The duo will drop by the Top 20 studios Oct. 30, which will air at 9 a.m. eastern, and re-air Oct. 31 and Nov. 2 at 7:30 a.m. eastern.

CD reviews for Sugarland
It almost goes without saying that in today's fickle music world you have to constantly be atop your game, generating new content lest your listeners move on to the next selection in their Spotify shuffle. Thus, artists can't be content with dropping a new album every year or two and resting on their past accomplishments; now they've got to churn out EP's, live recordings and more to keep their audience satiated and satisfied. Realizing this truth, country duo Sugarland fights ...
Sugarland is back with "Bigger," its first studio album in nearly a decade. And its arrival says more about branding, than anything else. Although his voice is heard often enough on this album to make his presence felt, it's still difficult to get away from seeing Kristian Bush in the Oates to Hall or Ridgeley to Michael role in this duo. Jennifer Nettles is the act's primary focus. However, Nettles plays theaters on tour, while Sugarland fills stadiums, making it a commercial no-brainer. ...
