\n\tWaylon Jennings<\/a> notches his first top 10 on Billboard<\/em>\u2019s Top Album Sales<\/a> chart with the debut of the from-the-vaults collection Songbird<\/em>. The set flies in at No. No. 6 on Top Album Sales (dated Oct. 18), while also entering the top 10 on four more charts: Top Current Album Sales<\/a> (No. 6), Indie Store Album Sales<\/a> (No. 7), Americana\/Folk Albums<\/a> (No. 8) and Vinyl Albums<\/a> (No. 9). It also starts at No. 17 on Top Country Albums<\/a>, No. 18 on Independent Albums<\/a> and No. 116 on the all-genre Billboard 200<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tSongbird<\/em> was compiled and mixed by Waylon\u2019s son Shooter Jennings<\/a>, and consists of previously unheard recordings by Waylon produced between 1973-84. Songbird<\/em> is the first of a trio of previously unheard albums from Waylon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tWaylon Jennings died in 2002 after a stellar career on the charts, including 16 No. 1s on Billboard<\/em>\u2019s Hot Country Songs ranking, and 11 No. 1s on Top Country Albums.<\/p>\n

\n\tSongbird<\/em> marks Waylon\u2019s first top 10 on the 34-year-old Top Album Sales chart, as it starts at No. 6 with nearly 9,000 copies sold in the United States in the week ending Oct. 9, according to Luminate.<\/p>\n

\n\tSongbird<\/em> is one of three debuts in the top 10 on Billboard<\/em>\u2019s Top Album Sales chart, where Taylor Swift\u2019s The Life of a Showgirl<\/em> storms in at No. 1 with 3,479,500 copies sold (the largest sales week for an album in the modern era, since Luminate began tracking data in 1991). Stray Kids\u2019 former No. 1 KARMA<\/em> rises 5-2, the KPop Demon Hunters<\/em> soundtrack steps 4-3, Sabrina Carpenter\u2019s chart-topping Man\u2019s Best Friend<\/em> climbs 10-4, AFI\u2019s Silver Bleeds the Black Sun<\/em> debuts at No. 5 (nearly 10,000; marking the fourth top 10 for the act), P1Harmony\u2019s EX<\/em> falls 2-7 in its second week, KATSEYE\u2019s Beautiful Chaos<\/em> jumps 16-8, Cardi B\u2019s AM I THE DRAMA? is a non-mover at No. 9 and Mariah Carey\u2019s Here for It All<\/em> falls 1-10 in its second week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
