by Jim Casey | @TheJimCasey | August 27, 2018

Cole Swindell’s third album, All of It, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart.

Cole’s new album moved 50,000 equivalent units, according to Nielsen Music, which was good enough for No.7 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart.

“I am so grateful to have been given the opportunity to record and release even one album,” said Cole. “But to be at this point in my career of releasing my third album is just humbling. There are a lot of great people on my team who help make this happen. Most importantly in a business that is really all about the ‘song’ I am honored and thankful for all the incredible songwriters who have trusted me with their songs. And my fans, what can I say? They always show up and prove I have the best fans in the world. So many of them have been with me from day one and without them none of this would be happening for me. With the best songs and the best fans how could I not be grateful for this number one album. Thank you!”

All of It marks Cole’s first effort at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, following two previous No. 2 albums, Cole Swindell (2014) and You Should Be Here (2016).
