Jessica Simpson broke away from the pop scene to take a shot at country music, and found success in her latest album Do You Know.
The album debuted at the No. 1 spot on the Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart and at the No. 4 spot on the all-genre Billboard 200, In Touch Weekly reports.
Jessica told In Touch Weekly that she was excited that fans are embracing her country side.
“I am a country girl,” she told Billboard.com in December. “I grew up in Texas, and country music was what I listened to. I always wanted to make a country album, but I wanted to wait until the time was right.”
This is the 28-year-old’s sixth album reports US Weekly which sold 65,000 copies since it was released last week. Other chart topping albums she’s had include In This Skin in 2003 and A Public Affair in 2006.
“I’m extremely touched by the overwhelmingly positive response to the album,” Jessica told In Touch. “There is so much honesty and raw emotion in there. And, I’m just thrilled that country fans are giving it a chance!”
