John Mellencamp is back at Number One on Billboard‘s Top Rock Albums chart with the chart debut of his latest collection, Other People’s Stuff. The new album, which debuted at Number Seven on the Billboard 200 albums chart, sold 44,000 units according to Nielsen music, which posted that nearly all the sales of the set came from “traditional album sales.”
The set, which is Mellencamp’s 24th album, features covers of older material recorded over the course of his career, includes such highlights as the well-worn civil rights anthem “Keep You Eyes On The Prize,” Merle Travis‘ “Dark As A Dungeon,” the great American ballad, “Wreck Of The Old ’97,” and Stevie Wonder‘s “I Don’t Know Why I Love You.”
