Needtobreathe at No. 3 on the Billboard 200

Needtobreathe's new album Rivers In the Wasteland has debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and No. 1 on the Rock as well as the Christian Albums Chart. Released last week, Rivers went straight to No. 1 on the iTunes chart and stayed in the Top 10 all week.

The band scores its second No. 1 on Billboard's Top Rock Albums chart with 49,000 sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The set marks the South Carolina band's best sales week and highest debut and rank on the Billboard 200 (No. 3), besting its previous album and first Top Rock Albums leader, 2011's "The Reckoning" (No. 6, with a narrowly smaller sales sum).
