    Dave Matthews Band have the number one album in the country this week:


    The set, which was released on June 8 via Bama Rags/RCA Records, earned 292,000 equivalent album units in the week ending June 14, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 285,000 were in traditional album sales — the biggest sales week for a rock album in over four years.

    Haven't checked in with DMB since Busted Stuff in 2002. How have the past 3-4 releases been?

    Stand up wasn't good

    Gru Grux King is really solid and the one after that was pretty good..

    This is probably his best record since Busted Stuff though.

    I did not realize they were still that big of a deal. Awesome for them.

    They included a copy with each ticket sold for their tour.

    Yeah, I'm pretty shocked by that number. When I saw that DMB had the #1 album in the country, I figured it was just a slow week. That's about 200k more albums than I would have anticipated.

    Never got into them but I remember how massive they were in the late 90s/early 00s...good for them staying the course and continuing on...

    They don’t stream very well, but those sales are killer. They sell out two nights here almost every summer too. Good for them.
