Jelly Roll
Jelly Roll’s Whitsitt Chapel is the No. 1 Album on Billboard’s Top Rock & Alternative Albusm chart and No. 2 on the Top Country Albums chart. The album moved 90,000 equivalent album units in its first week, according to Luminate. 63,000 of those units were physical media and paid downloads. At No. 3 on the Billboard 200, it’s the first Top 10 album for Jason Bradley DeFord.
There were three different vinyl versions available, including a Walmart exclusive color; a standard CD; a web-store exclusive autographed CD; a big discount on the digital version ($4.20 on his website), nine deluxe CD box sets (with merch), and a “hymnal” zine/CD package.
Jelly is the latest in a handful of artists to make a splash on both the Top Rock & Alternative and Top Country charts, following on the heels of HARDY (2023), Zach Bryan (2022), and Jason Isbell (2020). (Read more at Billboard.)
