Despite the 62,000 first-week total sum amounting to the lowest inaugural sales he’s collected for a studio album since his debut LP ‘+ (Plus)’ (which arrived on the wings of 42,000 units sold in 2011), ‘Autumn’ – in shifting nearly 47,000 pure sales – still landed at #1 on the current ‘Album Sales’ chart.

His first independent effort (delivered courtesy of his imprint Gingerbread Man Records), ‘Autumn’ falls as his his seventh top 5-charting album on the Billboard 200 with its #4 premiere and continues his streak of top 5 debuts.

The feat is all the more impressive given that ‘Autumn’ has no official singles or music videos to support the era.
