with his first single, the self-penned, Top-5-and-climbing 'Alyssa Lies,' and with multiple chart feats already under his belt, the 28-year-old North Carolina native arrives at No 1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart with his debut disc, Waitin' in the Country. With first-week sales of 57,608, and a Billboard 200 pop chart entry at No 8, Carroll achieves both the best unit sales and the highest pop chart debut by any new country male since Billy Ray Cyrus hit the scene in 1992.
