One of my favorite country groups Lady Antebellum score a MASSIVE #1 debut this week, as their second album Need You Now sold 481,000 to debut at the top of the Billboard 200.
The group are relatively new to the country world, but have made a huge impact over the last two years, scoring multiple #1 singles and having their debut album sell over 1 million copies.
The sales of their latest set is the biggest opening for a country record since Taylor Swift debuted in 2008 with 592,000.
The lead single of the album, also titled "Need You Now" spent 5 weeks at #1 on the country singles chart, and the group took home their first Grammy Award over the weekend for Best Country Performance by a duo or group for "I Run to You."
Congrats on all the success!

Never heard of this group before today. I opened my Itunes and noticed that one of their songs was top 3 on the most purchased list this week.
