When Kane Brown's self-titled first album released December 2 last year, it became and remains US country's best-selling new artist debut of the past two and a half years. Kane Brown entered at #1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart and Top 10 on the Billboard 200. The 23-year-old singer/songwriter's impressive first week showing was 2016's #4 all-genre best new artist debut, preceded only by Zayn, Jordan Smith and Charlie Puth.
