Aldean leads again
Wednesday, November 12, 2014 – Taylor Swift will have the biggest selling album in the U.S. again this week with "1989" when the charts are out on Thursday, but, of course, it won't top the country charts. That honor goes to Jason Aldean and "Old Boots, New Dirt," which sold 35,000 units, down 17 percent.
Florida Georgia Line is sixth with "Anything Goes." The disc sold 30,000 units, down 21 percent. Brantley Gilbert's "Just as I Am" shot up from 62 to 9 with 26,000 units sold, up 306 percent. The disc was discounted to 99 cents in the Google Play store.
Sam Hunt's "Montevallo" closed out the top 10 with 25,000 units, down 64 percent.
"1989" sold 402,000 copies, down 69 percent, from the opening week sales of 1.3 million.
