Jessica Simpson’s Country Album No. 1 On Country Charts
Jessica’s album Do You Know has hit No.1 on the country music charts as well as debuted at No.3 on the Billborad Top 100. Death Magnetic by Metallica was No.1
Jessica’s album sold 65,000 copies its first week, compared with her last album which sold 101,000 its first week. Metallica’s Death Magnetic sold 490,000 copies.
I do believe that there were no other new country albums debuted the same week so… it’s not really that much of a big deal.
Here’s a little comparison:
Jessica Simpson’s album first week sales 65,000 copies
Carrie Underwood’s album first week sales 800,000 copies
Her big song “Come on Over” didn’t break the top ten… just saying.
