Little Big Town’s ninth studio album, Nightfall, debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart this week.
The new 13-song offering, which moved 31,000 equivalent units according to Nielsen Music, marks the fourth time that LBT’s Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Phillip Sweet and Jimi Westbrook have scored a No. 1 album. LBT’s previous No. 1 albums include The Reason Why (2010), Tornado (2012) and The Breaker (2017).
“We self-produced this record, so a lot of blood, sweat and tears went into this one,” says Karen to Nash Country Daily. “I love all of the different vocal moments on the record. Lots of new adventures on this record with co-writing. We’re really proud of it.”
LBT kicked off its 34-date The Nightfall Tour earlier this month.
