Jelly Roll just claimed his very FIRST number one album on the Billboard 200, with “Beautifully Broken”. This comes only a couple days after he said he’s quitting Twitter because of all the negative feedback he received for his cover of Ozzy Osbourne at the Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Here are some impressive stats about Jelly’s #1 album:
1. Jelly sold 161,000 equivalent album units, making it his biggest week ever.
2. This is the third highest week, by units, of ANY Country album in 2024, finishing only behind Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” . . . and Post Malone’s “F-1 Trillion”.
3. This is Jelly’s second Top 10 album on the Billboard 200 . . . His 2023 album, “Whitsett Chapel”, climbed all the way up to three.
4. “Beautifully Broken” is now the FIFTH Country album to lead the Billboard 200 this year. That’s the most since 2014.
When Morgan Wallen wrapped his tour last week in Charlotte, it became official . . . the One Night at a Time Tour is the highest-grossing Country tour of ALL TIME. He was already on top of the list from the 2023 version of this tour, and has been padding his stats ever since. Over the past two years, his tour saw over 3.1 million fans. And that was in 87 shows . . . across 10 countries . . . and on three continents. For reference, there are 3.1 million people that live in the state of Nevada. But not all of Morgan’s fans are happy. Recently, he announced his new Sand in My Boots festival . . . which includes Post Malone, Brooks and Dunn, and Hardy as the other headliners. And some fans are horrified at how expensive it is. With prices ranging from $399 to $4,999 for ONE TICKET, understandably people are a bit upset. One fan said, “This would be so fun if the prices weren’t one zillion dollars” . . . and another fan is thinking about picking up a second job to be able to afford it. They said, “Excuse me, while I go sign up for OnlyFans.”

Zach Bryan’s girlfriend Brianna Chickenfry posted a cryptic note on Monday, and people were speculating they’d broken up. There were also rumors he’d been spotted on the celebrity dating app Raya. Now it’s confirmed . . . he’s single again, and they’re no longer an item. He posted a statement yesterday that said, “Brianna and me have broken up with each other, and I respect and love her with every ounce of my heart.” “She has loved me unconditionally for a very long time. And for that, I’ll always thank her.” He said he “thought it would be beneficial” for them to go their own way, and asked fans to please respect Brianna’s “privacy and space.” She posted her own statement saying she was ” blindsided” by it, and planned to hop off social media for a while to “heal privately.” They went public with their relationship last July, so they’d been dating for just over a year. They got a dog together named Boston during that time. It’s not clear who’s keeping the dog, but Brianna just posted some photos with him on Monday. So maybe she is?
