Album Sweep: June 7, 2014 - Part Two...

I'm back with the second half of this week's "album sweep", sampling the records making their debut on the Top 200 Albums sales chart in Billboard magazine this week. You can check out part one by clicking here, and as before I've included highlighted links to buy the records debuting as well as some of the artists' other work.

Dutch DJ and producer Afrojack debuts at #32 with his first full-length album Forget The World. He's grown a big fanbase since his single debut in 2008, so the album was way overdue...

Country-rap label Average Joes Entertainment continues its success in the series with Mud Digger Volume 5 at #38. It has tracks from label faves Colt Ford, The Lacs, Bubba Sparxx, and more...

Gospel music veteran Beverly Crawford comes in at #57 with Thank You For All You've Done. It's her first to make the top half of the chart...

Billy Joel is back at #59 with A Matter Of Trust: The Bridge To Russia: The Concert. It's an expanded version of the Концерт live album he took to #38 in 1987. His other four live albums all made the top-40 as well, with his first, Songs In The Attic, reaching #8 in 1981....

Latin pop star Luis Fonsi, from Puerto Rico, enters at #60 with his eighth studio album properly named 8. Back in 2008 he went to #15 with Palabras Del Silencio...

Illinois-based emo-rock band American Football debut at #68 with their self-titled first album, which originally was released in 1999, but got a reissue and expansion treatment this year...

Another self-titled debut album coming on to the chart is from the hard rock 'supergroup' California Breed, which includes Deep Purple/Black Sabbath vocalist Glenn Hughes and drummer Jason Bonham...

The winner of the sixth season of The Voice, Josh Kaufman, sees his The Voice: The Complete Season 6 Collection enter the chart at #92...

Long-lasting funk-rock fusion band War returns to the charts at #123 with the final debut of the week with Evolutionary, which like the new Blondie record is one disc of new music and one of greatest hits (although in this case not re-recorded versions of them). Back in there 70s heyday, the band placed five albums in the top-10, topping the chart back in 1972 with The World Is A Ghetto....

That's a wrap for the second half of the show...out of these nine the three I would pick first are the Afrojack, California Breed, and Billy Joel sets...
