DIIV

Delivers

DIIV (fronted by Zachary

Cole Smith, above) debuts

at No. 7 on Emerging Art-

ists as the shoegaze band’s

third LP, Deceiver, arrives

at No. 6 on Independent

Albums and No. 19 on

Alternative Albums, earning

6,000 equivalent album

units (5,000 in album sales)

in its first week, according

to Nielsen Music.

Plus, Ghost Town Blues

Band banks its first No. 1 on

a Billboard survey as Shine

starts atop Blues Albums

(2,000 units), sparking the

group’s No. 36 start on

Emerging Artists. Its previ-

ous effort Backstage Pass

reached No. 4 on Blues

Albums in March 2018,

marking the act’s first chart

entry overall.

—XANDER ZELLNER

HUNT TIES BEST

BOW

Sam Hunt (above) ties his

highest Country Airplay debut

as “Kinfolks” enters at No. 18,

equaling the opening of his last

single, “Downtown’s Dead,” in

May 2018. “Kinfolks” was re-

leased at 5 p.m. ET on Oct. 10

and makes its chart start after

less than three-and-a-half days

of availability, aided by hourly

plays on iHeartMedia stations

on Oct. 10-11. Hunt tallied six

Country Airplay No. 1s between

2014 and 2017. —JIM ASKER
