Justin Moore’s “Kinda Don’t Care” Takes the No. 1 Spot on Billboard’s Top Country Albums Chart

The “rule of three” suggests that things that come in threes are more satisfying. If you’re a disciple of that kind of thinking, consider Justin Moore the most satisfied man in country music today (Aug. 22). His new album, Kinda Don’t Care, is the No. 1 album on Billboard‘s Top Country Albums chart, making it his third consecutive album to reach that mark.

And there’s more good news for Justin. The album’s lead single, “You Look Like I Need a Drink,” is Top 5 and climbing.

“We’ve been really lucky that every time we’ve put an album out we’ve had a really successful single to launch it with,” says Justin to Nash Country Daily. “We took about six, eight months off from radio at the very end of the last album cycle, and I didn’t really know what I wanted to do. I knew it was an important step in my career, but didn’t know what I wanted to do. Fortunately, I’m at a record label that allowed me some time to go figure that out and ‘You Look Like I Need a Drink’ was one of the first ones I found for the album. I’ve always been intrigued by titles that jump out off the page at me before I hear the song and this one did that to me. It was the complete antithesis of what I thought it was going to be when I heard it, right up my alley. We did some different things on this album, but we did some things like this song that are so me. Being off of radio for six, eight months with new music, we didn’t want to freak everybody out when we came back, so we came back with something that people would recognize as a song that I would do, so I’m fortunate that it’s doing well so far. It’d be nice if it’s our sixth number one, that’s the goal, man.”

Congrats to Justin, and be sure to catch him on tour this fall.
