It also starts at No. 21 on the all-genre Billboard 200 with 22,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending Oct. 16, according to Luminate. Lainey Wilson & Jason Aldean to Headline Nashville’s Big Bash on New Year’s Eve Benson Boone to Headline ‘Insanely Sick’ Show Kennedy Space Center’s Rocket Garden Yami Safdie, GALE, Katteyes, & More Shine on Latin Music Week 2025 Opening Night The set marks the superstar’s 13th top 10 on Top Country Albums, a run that began with his 2005 self-titled release. Aldean has logged six No. 1s on the list, with all his top 10s having debuted in the region. The new compilation arrived to streaming and digital platforms Oct. 10, with vinyl due Oct. 31 exclusively at Walmart and on disc everywhere Nov. 21. Aldean finds himself in strong company among country best-ofs. Since 2015, only Garth Brooks, Kenny Rogers, Blake Shelton and George Strait have seen greatest hits collections open higher, all reaching the top three. Aldean’s No. 4 showing also puts him shoulder-to-shoulder with Dolly Parton, as his latest is the highest charting newly released hits package since her No. 4-peaking Diamonds & Rhinestones: The Greatest Hits Collection in December 2022. Andrews’ ‘Older’ Is New Singer-songwriter and Carrollton, Mo., native Bryan Andrews makes his first Billboard chart appearance at No. 3 on Country Digital Song Sales with “The Older I Get” (2,000 sold). The track also debuts at No. 8 on Digital Song Sales and he enters at No. 16 on Emerging Artists. Andrews began performing while in college and has since built a following of 3.5 million on TikTok. A viral Oct. 9 post referencing ICE drew wide attention to the track (on which he wonders, “Do the good guys ever win?”), fueling downloads and engagement. From Aldean’s career-spanning retrospective to Andrews’ breakthrough, the results underscore country’s constant evolution, where established stars and newcomers share the same scoreboards.
