Blake Shelton Racks Up Another No. 1 Song With "Gonna"

Chris Stapleton's 'Traveller' Is Again Week's Top Country Album

Neither the onset of Christmas nor the recently-announced Grammy nominations has done much to stir up the charts this week.

Blake Shelton, however, has scored another No. 1 -- his 20th -- with “Gonna. It arrives at that hallowed point after a 21-week climb.

And Chris Stapleton’s Traveller has snapped back to the top of Billboard’s country albums rankings.

Two albums make their first chart appearance -- Jessie James Decker’s EP, This Christmas, bows at No. 16, and the soundtrack collection, Nashville: The Music of Nashville, Season 4, Volume 1, enters one notch below at No. 17.

Joey + Rory’s Country Classics: A Tapestry of Our Musical Heritage returns to the chart at No. 43, possibly propelled there by the wife-and-husband’s nomination for a best country duo or group performance Grammy for “If I Needed You,” a cut from the album.

Also re-entering is Shelton’s Bringing Back the Sunshine at No. 48.

And there are two new songs, as well -- Chris Lane’s “Fix” (arriving at No. 50) and Drake White’s “Livin’ the Dream” (No. 57).

Toby Keith’s “Beautiful Stranger” returns at No. 59.

Directly following Shelton’s “Gonna” within the Top 5 songs group are Jason Aldean’s “Gonna Know We Were Here,” Thomas Rhett’s “Die a Happy Man,” Cam’s “Burning House” and Tim McGraw’s “Top of the World,” in that order.

Last week’s No. 1 song, Dan + Shay’s “Nothin’ Like You,” slips to No. 9.

Completing the Top 5 albums array are Carrie Underwood’s Storyteller last week’s No. 1), Luke Bryan’s Kill the Lights, Eric Church’s Mr. Misunderstood and Shelton’s Reloaded:20 #1 Hits.

‘Tis the season for numbers. There are six holiday albums on this week’s chart, the highest-ranking one being the multi-artist Now That’s What I Call Country Christmas. It purrs contentedly at No. 8. By Nielsen SoundScan’s count, it has sold 36,058 copies in its eight weeks of chart life. Santa’s getting stingy this year.
