  "account": "Riley Green's new album, That's Just Me, has broken through to the top of Billboard's Top Country Albums chart, debuting at No. 2. The 19-track effort, Green's fourth studio album, was produced by Dann Huff and marks his first No. 1 on the Independent Albums chart. The project, recorded during Green's 2026 Cowboy As It Gets Tour, blends heartbreak, drinking songs, and reflections on his Alabama roots, featuring guests like Brooks & Dunn, Randy Owen, Hannah McFarland, and Jake Worthington. The album's title track, \"Think As You Drunk,\" pays homage to Toby Keith, with proceeds benefiting his foundation. Five of the album's tracks entered the Hot Country Songs chart, with \"Think As You Drunk\" peaking at No. 11 and the title track at No. 19. This marks Green's eighth Top Country Albums entry and second top 10, surpassing his previous high of No. 8 with Don't Mind If I Do in November 2024. Luke Bryan's latest album, Signs, debuted at No. 8 on Top Country Albums, while Morgan Wallen's \"Last Thing You Need\" gained momentum, jumping 46 spots in its second week on Hot Country Songs and reaching No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100.",
