HOME FREE GARNERS LARGEST SALES WEEK EVER AS CAPTIVATING NEW ALBUM TIMELESS EARNS #2 CHART DEBUT
All-vocal Country quintet HOME FREE celebrated its largest sales week ever as their latest album TIMELESS secured the #2 debut on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart following its release on September 22.
As Sounds Like Nashville observed, “It may be safe to say that no acapella group has a more rabid fanbase than Home Free,” and the group’s fervent followers helped propel them to an astonishing 17,000-plus units that, as Billboard pointed out, was “almost all in pure sales.” To show their gratitude, the band offered fans who purchased TIMELESS in its first week of release the chance to enter to win a trip to any domestic Home Free performance in the next year.
TIMELESS features 11 tracks spanning from contemporary Country hits to smooth R&B-tinged tunes, including four Home Free originals, all arranged by the group and producer Darren Rust. The deluxe edition features three additional recordings.
The group welcomed the long-awaited project – their fourth on Columbia Records – with back-to-back, sold-out homecoming release shows in Minneapolis and Nashville, plus performances on Fox & Friends, FOX’s After the Show Show, and the national anthem ahead of the Minnesota Vikings/Tampa Bay Buccaneers game at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. They also stopped by Facebook headquarters in New York City for a special live Q&A.
