Zac Brown Band Earns #1 as  ‘JEKYLL + HYDE’ Sales Top 228K

Zac Brown Band Earns #1 as 'JEKYLL + HYDE' Sales Top 228K

'JEKYLL + HYDE' (Southern Ground / John Varvatos Records / Big Machine Label Group / Republic Records) hit #1 on the Billboard 200 this week selling over 228,000 equivalent album units, and earning the band their third consecutive #1 spot on the chart.

Last week, USA Today declared that "the creativity on JEKYLL +HYDE is astonishing, the musicianship equal to the challenge" and it's evident in the album's pre-release radio success which saw the band make history as only the second act to ever reach #1 on both the Country Radio and Rock Radio charts - a title they held for several weeks on each chart. "Homegrown" became Zac Brown Band's twelfth #1 hit at Country Radio and was noted as the fastest rising song on the chart since 2012. The band's follow-up single "Heavy Is the Head (feat. Chris Cornell)" earned them their first chart topper on Active Rock and Mainstream Rock Radio. The band's third single "Loving You Easy" debuted at #30 on Billboard's Country AirPlay chart.
