Riley Green’s That’s Just Me arrives as his highest charted entry on Billboard’s Top Country Albums, launching at No. 2 on the Oct. 3-dated list with 60,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States Sept. 18-24, according to Luminate.

The set also opens at No. 3 on the all-genre Billboard 200, where it’s Green’s first top 10, and No. 1 on Independent Albums, marking his first leader.

The 19-track collection, Green’s fourth studio album, was produced by Dann Huff, with Green serving as coproducer. Written and recorded amid Green’s 2026 Cowboy As It Gets Tour, the project mixes heartbreak and drinking songs with reflections on Green’s Alabama roots. Guests include Brooks & Dunn, Alabama’s Randy Owen, Hannah McFarland and Jake Worthington. “Think as You Drunk,” which samples Toby Keith’s 2005 hit “As Good As I Once Was” in its outro, pays tribute to the country star, with a portion of proceeds benefiting the Toby Keith Foundation.

Five of the set’s tracks place this week on Hot Country Songs. “Think As You Drunk” leads the group, rising five spots to No. 11 (4.9 million streams, 16.9 million in radio audience, 1,000 sold), followed by the title track at No. 19. “Go Again,” featuring McFarland, reenters at No. 34, “Ten Pairs of Boots” steps in at No. 40 and “Imagine That” returns at No. 48.

That’s Just Me marks Green’s eighth Top Country Albums entry and second top 10, surpassing his previous high: Don’t Mind If I Do debuted at No. 8 in November 2024 before reaching No. 6 last September. He first appeared on the chart with his debut full-length, Different ’Round Here, which hit No. 11 in 2019.

Luke Bryan Returns

Luke Bryan’s first studio LP in nearly two years, Signs, starts at No. 8 on Top Country Albums (18,000 units). The 12-song set, his ninth studio album, continues his longtime collaboration with producers Jeff Stevens and Jody Stevens, who have directed his albums together since 2015’s eight-week No. 1, Kill the Lights. On Hot Country Songs, the new release’s “Finders Keepers,” with Luke Combs, debuts at No. 30 with 2.9 million streams and 6.7 million in radio reach. Bryan and Combs up their career totals on the chart to 67 and 84 entries, respectively.

Morgan Wallen Speeds Up

Morgan Wallen’s “Last Thing You Need” jumps 46-4 in its second week on Hot Country Songs, totaling 14.4 million streams, 1.2 million radio audience impressions and 5,000 sold in its first full tracking week. Wallen’s 46th top 10 is from Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, due Nov. 19, the same day as the video game’s launch.

As previously reported, the track roars in at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Wallen’s 21st top 10.
