Chesney's "Live in No Shoes Nation" sold more
than 218,000 units, according to the latest weekly data from
Nielsen SoundScan. The vast majority were in traditional album
sales.
Billboard said it was the eighth No. 1 album for Chesney, 49,
one of country music's most popular performers.
The Billboard 200 chart tallies units from album sales, song
sales (10 songs equal one album) and streaming activity (1,500
streams equal one album).
Former "American Idol" winner Clarkson landed in second place
with more than 79,000 sales of her album "Meaning of Life,"
while Brown took the No. 3 spot with "Heartbreak on a Full
Moon."
The Halloween collaboration "Without Warning" by rappers Savage
and Offset and music producer Metro Boomin debuted at No. 4.
The busy week of new releases pushed pop star Pink down to 21st
place on the Billboard 200 after the No. 1 debut last week of
her album "Beautiful Trauma."
On the digital songs chart, which measures online single sales,
alt-rockers Imagine Dragons retained their No. 1 spot with
another 54,000 units sold for "Thunder."
