[1] In the issue of Billboard dated January 7, Garth Brooks was at number one with the box set The Ultimate Collection, its second week in the top spot.
Stapleton's total of 14 weeks in the top spot was the highest of the year, more than three times the length of time that any other act spent at number one, and From A Room: Volume 1 had the year's longest unbroken run at number one, spending five consecutive weeks atop the listing.
In June, Luke Combs reached number one with his debut album This One's for You, which had spent four non-consecutive weeks in the top spot by the end of the year.
The album would go back to the peak position the following summer after the release of a deluxe edition with additional tracks,[5] and occupy the top spot for much of the next year and a half.
[7] RaeLynn matched Combs's feat by topping the chart with her debut album WildHorse,[8] and Old Dominion,[9] Thomas Rhett.
