Colt Ford scored the highest first-week sales of his career when Every Chance I Get entered the Billboard Country Albums chart at No. 3, making it the highest Country debut of the week. The release by Average Joe’s sold 19,145 units, including 21% digital.
Ford’s third studio project was co-produced by Shannon Houchins and Jayson Chance, and features the current single “Country Thang.” Guests on the album include Tim McGraw, Eric Church, Luke Bryan, and Charlie Daniels.
Ford’s collective paid digital downloads are now well over 1 million units. Across all titles, Ford’s albums have sold over 500,000 copies.
Average Joe’s currently has five titles residing in the Billboard Top 75 including Ford’s Every Chance I Get and Chicken And Biscuits, Brantley Gilbert’s Halfway To Heaven, Mud Digger (Various Artists), and The Lac’s Country Boy’s Paradise.
