American Heartbreak is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter Zach Bryan, released on May 20, 2022, through Belting Bronco and Warner Records. It is a triple album and Bryan's major-label debut.[3] The album was preceded by six singles, including "Something in the Orange", which reached number 10 on the US Billboard Hot 100.[4] Bryan toured the US until November 2022 in support of the record.[5]

Background

[edit | edit source]

Bryan explained that the album "explores the past five years" of his life, further calling it his "effort at trying to explain what being a 26-year-old man in America is like. There's love, loss, rivalry, resentment, and forgiveness all wrapped into one piece of work".[6] The Tennessean wrote that the album ranges "from demo-like ruminations to full-fledged heartland rock anthems" as well as an "untamed restlessness and blurry-eyed angst".[2]

Commercial performance

[edit | edit source]

American Heartbreak debuted at number five on the US Billboard 200 with 71,500 album-equivalent units, including 6,000 pure album sales, making it the biggest first week for a country album in 2022.[7] On the day of its release, American Heartbreak achieved the most streams of any country album in 2022 on both Spotify and Apple Music.[8] As of October 2022, the album has sold 702,000 album units in the U.S. alone.[9]
