According to Billboard, Zach Bryan is spending a second week at the top of the Billboard 200 albums chart with his self-titled album.
Luminate reports that Bryan amassed 115,000 album-equivalent units in his second week. A huge portion of it was attributed to streaming which was 111,000, 3,000 for album sales, and 1,000 for track units.
Being categorized as Americana/folk, rock, and country, Zach Bryan manages to hit many chart feats as he spends a second week.
Notably, it is the first Rock album to spend two weeks atop in seven years. It is the first Americana/folk project to soar for two weeks since 2015.
The No. 2 and No. 3 spots were occupied by former No.1s. Morgan Wallen's "One Thing At A Time" sits at No. 2, while Travis Scott's "Utopia" holds the third position.
Over the weekend, Bryan was marred with controversy as he was arrested and jailed in Oklahoma for obstruction of investigation.
Apparently, Bryan stepped out of his vehicle when his security guard was being questioned by police. Despite being asked to return to his vehicle, Bryan resisted and was arrested.
"I'll go to jail, let's do it," Bryan told the trooper, as mentioned in the affidavit. (via The Tennessean) He even made "disparaging" remarks about police officers making unlawful arrests.
