 Eric Chruch getting his first #1 album, without hitting #1 any Country charts before and also Joss Stone for doing pretty good for her practically self-released album.
And of course to Mr. Aldean for continuing to pull in amazing sales. I see a possible Grammy nom if it keeps up.

As projected last week, country singer Eric Church takes his third album, "Chief," straight in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 145,000 sold according to Nielsen SoundScan (with an even bigger sales figure that expected). The debut marks the artist's first topper on not just this chart but also on the Top Country Albums tally.
Church's last set, 2009's "Carolina," debuted and peaked at No. 17 on the Billboard 200 with 31,000 sold in its first week. It has moved 496,000 total in the U.S.
Those who may draw a blank when hearing the words "Eric Church" shouldn't necessarily be faulted. He's yet to notch a top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and has only gone as high as No. 10 on the radio airplay-powered Hot Country Songs chart. While he isn't a superstar act on country radio yet, he's been steadily building a fan base thanks to touring since his "Sinners Like Me" album arrived in 2006.
Church is the second country act to earn their first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 in less than a month. Blake Shelton grabbed his first two weeks ago with "Red River Blue" after a decade of earlier charting efforts.
Elsewhere on the Billboard 200 this week, Kelly Rowland's third album, "Here I Am," arrives at No. 3 with 77,000. It's her highest charting album yet, surpassing the No. 6 peak of her last release, 2007's "Ms. Kelly," which bowed with 83,000. Rowland's "Here" was led by the single "Motivation," which spent seven weeks at No. 1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
Last week's No. 1 album, Adele's "21," falls to No. 2 with 83,000 (up 7%).
Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black" unsurprisingly surges up the chart, moving up 9-4 (54,000; up 44%) after a full week's worth of sales impact following her death on Saturday, July 23. Last week's chart only reflected two days of sales after news broke of her passing. (SoundScan's tracking week ends at the close of business on Sunday.) Her earlier album, "Frank," also rallies, climbing 57-33 with 12,000 (up 58%). On the Digital Songs chart, "Rehab" rises 46-20 (66,000; up 75%) while she also re-enters with "You Know I'm No Good" (No. 52 with 32,000 -- up 76%) and "Back to Black" (No. 55 with 31,000; up 81%).
One more debut dots the top 10 of the albums chart this week as Joss Stone's "LP1" starts at No. 9 with 30,000. It's the singer's third top 10 album and it follows "Colour Me Free!," which debuted and peaked at No. 10 in 2009 with a 27,000 bow.
Jason Aldean's "My Kinda Party" rises 8-5 (42,000; down 4%), Beyonce's "4" falls 4-6 (41,000; down 23%), "Kidz Bop 20" slides 2-7 (39,000; down 44%) and Shelton's "Red River Blue" drifts 6-8 (31,000; down 34%). Closing out the top 10 is Bad Meets Evil's "Hell: the Sequel," which is up one slot to No. 10 (26,000; down 9%).

The soundtrack to the Disney Channel's Shake It Up: Break It Down dips from #36 to #37 in its third week. It's #1 on Top Soundtracks for the third straight week.

Coming Attractions: Trace Adkins' Proud To Be Here is expected to be next week's top new entry. Also due: O.A.R.'s King, Mat Kearney's Young Love, Greyson Chance's Hold On... and the soundtrack to TV's Victorious.

ONE-DAY SALES: Adele, Church 1-2 Punch
Trace Adkins, Mat Kearney, Victorious Cast Debut
Next week could make it an even dozen for Adele.
The XL/Columbia U.K. soul chanteuse is eyeing a 12th week at #1 for her Grammy front-running 21 album since its release back in February. The disc is already at 2.8 million in the U.S., with no end in sight.
Her only challenger is this week’s chart-topper, Capitol Nashville’s Eric Church, depending on how steep the drop is from his album Chief’s first-week total of 145k.
That’s based on one-day sales reports from those music retailers experiencing the true meaning of “dog days of summer.”
Among next week’s chart newcomers, look for the highest debut from Showdog Nashville veteran Trace Adkins’ Proud to be Here, which looks headed for sales between 40-45k.
Universal Republic singer/songwriter Mat Kearney, who has topped the iTunes sales charts the last few days with his latest, Young Love, has a projected total of 35-40k, the same as Nickelodeon/Columbia’s Victorious Cast album.
Veteran jam band O.A.R.’s Wind-up debut, King, is headed for a first-week total in the 25-30k range.
Geffen piano prodigy Greyson Chance, discovered by Ellen DeGeneres and co-managed by Guy Oseary and Troy Carter, is in line for a 15-20k debut for his label bow, Hold on ‘til the Night.
Album sales were up 3% vs. last week, up 11% vs. same week last year and now up a whopping 2% year to date.
And wait, there’s more. Track sales were down 3% vs. last week, up 13% vs. same week last year and up 11% year to date, while TEA (Track Equivalent Album) sales
were up 1% vs. last week, up 11% vs. same week last year and up 4% year to date.

Adele goes back to #1 next week for her 12th non-consecutive week at the top, surpassing Taylor Swift's Fearless for the most weeks at #1 since at least 2000. In fact, the last album to log 12 weeks at #1 was Santana's Supernatural in 1999. If the current ranking holds as projected, Adele's distributor, Sony Music, will score six titles in the Top 10. Here's how it looks headed into the weekend:
Adele (XL/Columbia) 75-80k
Eric Church (Capitol Nashville/EMI) 60-65k
*Mat Kearney (Universal Republic) 40-45k
Jason Aldean (Broken Bow) 40-45k
*Trace Adkins (Show Dog) 40-45k
*Victorious cast (Nickelodeon/Columbia) 40-45k
Kidz Bop Kids (Razor & Tie) 40-45k
