Chart News: Chris Stapleton tops 1 million with ‘Traveller’

Traveller’s sales jumped past the 1 million mark in the week ending March 10, and continue to grow, as its total sum now stands at 1.05 million (thanks to another 27,000 sold in the new tracking week).

Traveller is the most-recently-released country album to sell a million copies since Sam Hunt’s Montevallo, which bowed on Oct. 28, 2014, and reached a million in the week ending Jan. 14.

Meanwhile, Traveller holds at No. 7 on the latest Billboard 200 chart. It has been in the top 15 for the past 20 straight weeks — since it re-entered the chart at No. 1 (Nov. 21, 2015) following the Country Music Association (CMA) awards on Nov. 4, when he won three trophies and performed a show-stopping medley with Justin Timberlake.
