Steel Magnolia has another footnote to add to its success story. Their self-titled debut album topped the iTunes Country Albums Chart less than a day after it was released, and now comes in at number seven on this week's "Billboard" Top 200 and number three on the Country Albums Chart. Steel Magnolia, who got their start after winning the CMT competition "Can You Duet," were also recently nominated for an Academy of Country Award for Top New Vocal Duo or Group.
In other "Billboard" chart news, Steel Magnolia's Big Machine label-mate Taylor Swift dropped a few spots to number three while the only other country representative in the top ten, the soundtrack to "Country Strong," rose a few spots to number six.
