    Dave Matthews Band have the number one album in the country this week:


    The set, which was released on June 8 via Bama Rags/RCA Records, earned 292,000 equivalent album units in the week ending June 14, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 285,000 were in traditional album sales — the biggest sales week for a rock album in over four years.

    Haven't checked in with DMB since Busted Stuff in 2002. How have the past 3-4 releases been?

    Stand up wasn't good

    Gru Grux King is really solid and the one after that was pretty good..

    This is probably his best record since Busted Stuff though.

    I did not realize they were still that big of a deal. Awesome for them.

    Yeah, I'm pretty shocked by that number. When I saw that DMB had the #1 album in the country, I figured it was just a slow week. That's about 200k more albums than I would have anticipated.

    They don’t stream very well, but those sales are killer. They sell out two nights here almost every summer too. Good for them.
