The Billboard 200 chart measures multi-metric album consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA).

The album was released on Aug. 25 through Generation Now/Atlantic Records, and follows two earlier charting efforts for the artist.

Trailing A$AP Mob by a small margin, Old Dominion debuted at No.7 with its second-full length studio album HAPPY ENDINGS (41,000 units; 31,261 in album sales), granting the act its highest charting effort yet. The album was led by the single “No Such Thing as a Broken Heart,” which reached No. 5 on the Hot Country Songs chart and No. 1 on the Country Airplay chart. Old Dominion previously reached the Billboard 200 with its first studio set, MEAT AND CANDY (No.16 in 2015) and its self-titled EP (No. 148 in 2015).

Americana Rock band The War on Drugs landed its first top 10 effort as its fourth studio album, A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING, starts at No. 10 with 31,000 units (28,310 in traditional album sales). The group’s last release, Lost In the Dream, debuted and peaked at No. 26 in 2014.

Top Country Albums now ranks the most popular country albums of the week, as compiled by Nielsen Music, based on multi-metric consumption (blending traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA), and streaming equivalent albums (SEA)).

Critical reception for Old Dominion’s Happy Endings: (RCA)
12 Tracks/ Time: 38:33 Amazon UK - UK iTunes - Amazon.com
UK Country iTunes Debut #3 (#42 all genres)
The group's second album was produced by Shane McAnally and includes current single "No Such Thing As A Broken Heart," plus "Written In The Sand," "Shoe Shopping," "A Girl Is A Gun" and "Stars In The City" (featuring Little Big Town).
RCA NASHVILLE's OLD DOMINION appeared on ABC-TV's "Good MORNING AMERICA" (GMA) earlier TODAY (8/28) to perform their current single, "No Such Thing As A Broken Heart," from their recently-released "Happy Endings" album.

AllMusic (Rating: 4 STARS) With Happy Endings -- the group's second album, following their 2015 debut Meat and Candy by two years -- Old Dominion emphasize their light touch with the melodic mainstream, crafting an album so tuneful and supple it feels designed to slide onto adult-oriented playlists anywhere from the glory days of Urban Cowboy to the present day… Since Happy Endings flows so easily, it may be easy to glide along with its slick surfaces, but a close listen reveals not only the sturdiness of the songs but the cleverness of the production -- and, if anybody is still doubting the smarts behind Old Dominion and McAnally, they close the proceedings with a live cut called "Can't Get You." Loud and bold, "Can't Get You" proves Old Dominion can do more than mellow pop, but the rest of Happy Endings is so irresistibly smooth, it's no wonder the group decided to emphasize their soft side here.

Entertainment Focus (Rating: 4/5)…Thanks to the success of Meat and Candy, Old Dominion are in a very different situation as they release Happy Endings. Expectations are higher and the album’s lead single No Such Thing as a Broken Heart is well on its way to
being the band’s biggest hit to date. Thankfully Old Dominion don’t disappoint and they deliver an album that is more cohesive than its predecessor whilst being sonically more adventurous…. Each of the 12 songs deserves its place on the record and Old Dominion have managed to produce an album of consistent quality that is sure to end up on many ‘best of’ lists by the end of the year. Whether or not the characters in their songs get Happy Endings, it’s looking likely the band will with this fantastic collection.

Roughstock (Rating: Very Positive) The melodies run deep on Happy Endings showcasing why Old Dominion has become one of the biggest bands in country music. And as proof, they serve up  a twist with one of the most melodic, interesting songs on the album, “New York At Night.”
The “sophomore slump” is a very real thing in but it’s something Old Dominion needn’t worry about as they’ve successfully navigated a record with Happy Endings that suggests the band is not only here for a good time but they’re here for a long time.

Sounds Like Nashville (Rating: Very Positive)…Happy Endings boasts all the elements Old Dominion fans love about the band, including their diverse sound, dynamic songwriting and carefree attitude, in a way that’s joyful, but with a sense of depth. But what makes the band special is that they radiate positivity in their music, attracting the free spirits of the world with their songs, all while being clever punsters and master wordsmiths in the process. Though not a stark contrast from their previous work, Happy Endings manages to keep the band’s intoxicating carefree spirit alive while showing a sense of growth in the process.

Luke Combs with THIS ONE’S FOR YOU (River House/ Columbia Nashville/Sony Music Nashville) fell 1-2 (#32-39; Billboard 200; selling 4,434 copies (down 12%; 13-week total 99,066).

Thomas Rhett with TANGLED UP (Valory | BMLG) fell 10-11 (#83-90 BB200) selling 1,696 copies (up 6.5%; 101-week total 594,400).

The Cadillac Three with LEGACY, the new 11-song set from the trio (Jaren Johnston, Neil Mason and Kelby Ray) arrived on Top Country Albums at No.14, earning 6,000 equivalent album units which includes selling 5,121 copies.
The Cadillac Three (originally known as The Cadillac Black) debut studio album initially released on April 17, 2012 via Nobody Buys Records. It includeds their signature hit, “The South.”
The band changed their name and signed to Big Machine Records. It was reissued on the Big Machine label on May 7, 2013. It was self-produced by the band with Dave Cobb helping out and had sold 40,000 copies as of July 2016.
BURY ME IN MY BOOTS (Big Machine Records) released August 5, 2016 debuted at #5 Country #34 Billboard 200 (chart dated August 27, 2016) selling 10,952 copies. By December 2016 it had sold 25,800 copies

“The LEGACY project is fueled with lyrics of life moments from weddings and babies to celebrating their road-tested brotherhood as the three Nashville natives craft 11 songs exuding pure honesty over driving melodies,” the trio and their team say of the album in a press release. The country-rock trio just launched a summer tour that continues all the way through early fall, crossing the U.S. and Canada before wrapping up Sept. 29 in New York. The Cadillac Three maintain a jam packed schedule, making a special stop at Download Festival in Paris and Donington, U.K., with Aerosmith. They’re also performing select dates with other country acts like Miranda Lambert, Thomas Rhett, Eli Young Band and more. In addition to writing their own music, the guys of the Cadillac Three have penned hits for the likes of Jake Owen, Tim McGraw and Keith Urban. “It’s been such a blessing,” lead singer Jaren Johnston tells Taste of Country about having other artists make hits out of their songs.
The trio collectively produced the 11-track project and worked with songwriters including Lori McKenna, Jonathan Singleton and Laura Veltz. Titles include "Dang If We Didn't," "American Slang" and "Love Me Like Liquor" (featuring McKenna).

Critical reception for The Cadillac Three’s Legacy:
11 Tracks/ Time: 34:19 Amazon UK - UK iTunes - Amazon.com

Allmusic (Rating: 4 Stars) Cadillac Three begins Legacy -- a somewhat high falutin' title for a third album -- with "Cadillacin'," a fuzzy blues that doubles as a statement of purpose. Within its lyrics, the trio tip their hats to ZZ Top's "Cheap Sunglasses" and the Lil' Ol' Band from Texas is never that far from the thoughts of this gang from Nashville…. The Cadillac Three do spend a fair amount of time celebrating good old country music on Legacy -- they pledge allegiance to "Hank & Jesus" and declare "Ain't That Country" -- but the reason the record works is because they attack all this material from the stance of a working band, turning this into a tight and tough album that wears its swagger with a smile.

Roughstock (Rating: Positive)…It’s pretty ballsy to name your third record Legacy yet that’s exactly what The Cadillac Three (TC3) are doing with their third studio album. This album — collectively written by the trio of Jaren Johnston, Neil Mason and Kelby Ray Caldwell — finds the band doing what they do best and that is to present a fat, rock-n-roll based brand of country music and they’re a power trio of guitars, steel guitar and drums. That’s it….. if mainstream radio gets off their collective asses and play this deserving band, a band with a strong Legacy being formed and one of the most-consistent albums of 2017.

Sounds Like Nashville (Rating: Positive) .. The 11-track album was all co-written and produced by TC3 and has childhood friends Jaren Johnston, Kelby Ray and Neil Mason teaming up for a bold release that includes just as much hell raising as it does sentimental ballads.

Interest in Taylor Swift’s new single also sparked fresh interest in her country albums. RED (Big Machine | BMLG) leapt 34-13 (118 Re-Entry BB200) and FEARLESS returned with a re-entry at No.22 (177 Re-Entry BB200)
Maren Morris with HERO (Columbia Nashville) moved 23-20 (#144-164 Billboard 200) selling 1,316 copies (65-week total 247,700).

Lady Antebellum with HEART BREAK (Capitol Nashville/Universal Music Group Nashville), fell 12-19 (105-160 Billboard 200) selling 2,848 copies (12-week total 124,800).

Outside the Top 25

Lukas Nelson & Promise Of The Real with LUKAS NELSON & PROMISE OF THE REAL (Fantasy | Concord) made a debut at No.35 selling 3,494 copies.
Nelson's "cosmic country soul" welcomes guests on the album including father Willie Nelson and Aunt Bobbi Nelson on "Just Outside Of Austin," Lady Gaga on "Find Yourself" and "Carolina," and backing vocals from Lucius on five tracks.

Country Music People (Tony Ives; Rating: 5 STARS) …If it was his time to move to the top of the bill it wouldn’t be a moment too soon

Following in the footsteps of a famous name is a blessing and a curse. It opens doors, yet draws the critical eye of endless comparisons by critics and fans alike. In some respects Lukas seems lost in his own world. He’s the clear heir to the Willie Nelson throne, yet sometimes it seems he would rather sit in a hammock in Hawaii and smoke pot than to soldier forth with the family legacy. And as long as they’re selling Willie Nelson cotton T-shirts for $85 dollars at shows and licensing his face to stick on egregiously-overpriced boutique marijuana products, Lukas’s output isn’t essential to keeping the war chest full.

But someday Willie will be gone and Lukas will still be here. And hopefully Lukas will pick up that legacy and keep moving forward with it. Because a world without Willie is not worth living in, but a world with Lukas is a world where the glimmer of Willie’s legacy still shines bright.

Saving Country Music (Rating: 1 3/4 Guns Up (7.5/10) …..But Lukas Nelson is not country, until he is, and he’s rock and blues, until he isn’t. Naturally country audiences want to gravitate towards him, but he’s not the traditionalist they may hope to find. The psychedelic nature of some of his cuts attract a younger audience, but Lukas also feels like an old soul, implementing steel guitar and backup singers on certain tracks…. Following in the footsteps of a famous name is a blessing and a curse. It opens doors, yet draws the critical eye of endless comparisons by critics and fans alike. In some respects Lukas seems lost in his own world. He’s the clear heir to the Willie Nelson throne, yet sometimes it seems he would rather sit in a hammock in Hawaii and smoke pot than to soldier forth with the family legacy……But someday Willie will be gone and Lukas will still be here. And hopefully Lukas will pick up that legacy and keep moving forward with it. Because a world without Willie is not worth living in, but a world with Lukas is a world where the glimmer of Willie’s legacy still shines bright.

There are moments that make you sit back and reflect on how far you’ve come; this is one of those moments,” Lynch told Billboard. “From a small town of Tullahoma, Tennessee [Lynch’s hometown], to five No. 1s in a row at country radio … this song has never felt bigger, and our crowds have never been better. The fans are the reason for my success, so thank you to every single person who turned this song on, turned it up and sang it at the top of their lungs at one of our shows.”
