ZBB finds "Welcome Home" in second

Sunday, May 21, 2017 – Zac Brown Band is second on the Billboard Top 200 chart with the group's new disc "Welcome Home."

The disc moved 146,000 units, far behind One Direction's Harry Styles' self-titled debut, which had 230,000 equivalent album units for the week ending May 18. The figure for ZBB was far less than 2015's "Jekyll + Hyde," which debuted in first with 228,000 units.

Chris Stapleton was down two to fourth in its second out with "From a Room: Volume 1." His second release moved 75,000 units, down 66 percent.

The charts will be officially released on Tuesday.

Then again, the spiritual truth contained within the Creedence Clearwater Revival-esque "Devil Always Made Me Think Twice" might also ...
CD review - From A Room: Volume 2 There is no bigger artist in country music today, perhaps even in American music, than Chris Stapleton. His appeal reaches beyond just the commercial country fans for his gritty bluesy approach. 2015's "Traveller" set a high bar, which was met by this year's release of "From A Room: Volume 1," which won Album of the Year in the 51st CMA Awards. Stapleton also garnered the Male Vocalist of the Year for his second time. Now seven months after that release, "From ...
