Megan Moroney's album "Cloud 9" debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, marking the biggest week for a country album by a female artist in nearly two years. This is Moroney’s third studio album and second to debut in the top 10. This achievement is particularly notable for a female country artist, as only seven albums by five women have reached the top of the albums chart in the past decade. Other notable debuts include Hilary Duff's comeback album "Luck… or Something," Baby Keem's "Ca$escal", and Mumford & Sons' "Prizefighter".
