I've noticed a trend this year on the charts - country music artists are debuting VERY LOW when they drop new albums, usually achieving their lowest-ever Billboard chart placements when they release new music. Why is this happening? And why do some albums (like Morgan Wallen or Luke Combs Jelly Roll's) break through in a massive way, while so many others (like Tim McGraw's or Walker Hayes' or Dustin Lynch's latest) fail to launch? Is the industry rollout broken?
