"Anything Goes" is the country duo's second full-length album. Their first and breakthrough, "Here's To the Good Times" was an overnight success.
It was released in 2012 and peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200, selling over 2.1 million copies. It's on its 98th week now.
Their debut album also spawned the smash hit "Cruise," which topped the Hot Country Songs chart for 214 weeks and peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100.
"Cruise" also holds the record as the best selling country digital song ever, with over 7 million downloads.
Florida Georgia Line's latest album, meanwhile, has already grabbed five top 40 spots on the Hot Country Songs chart.
Their "Dirt" has already landed in no. 1.
"Anything Goes" is so far the third consecutive country album to land the no. 1 spot on the Billboard 200. Blake Shelton's "Bringing Back the Sunshine" and Jason Aldean's "Old Boots, New Dirt" were both no. 1 for one week.
"It's the first time the chart's top slot has gone back-to-back-to-back with three straight country leaders in over four years," noted Billbaord.
The last time that three country songs topped the charts was from Oct. 9-23, 2010. That was when Zac Brown Band's "You Get What You Give," Kenny Chesney's "Hemingway's Whiskey" and Toby Keith's "Bullets In the Gun" led the list each topped the charts for one week.
Last week's No. 1, Aldean's "Old Boots, New Dirt," is now down to No. 2 with 91,000 copies sold.
