Who said a little band drama would hurt record sales? Despite not touring -- or even speaking to one another -- the Civil Wars have earned their first No. 1 album.
The Grammy-winning folk duo’s self-titled sophomore album sold 116,000 copies in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
The follow-up to 2011’s “Barton Hollow,” which debuted at No. 10, might be a hit for Nashville singer-songwriters Joy Williams and John Paul White, but the album’s success comes at time when tensions between the duo are so high they aren't promoting the album together, let alone speaking to each other, according to Williams.
