Duck The Halls becomes biggest debut country holiday album in last decade

Duck The Halls debuted on October 29 and sold nearly 70,000 albums in its first week

Duck Dynasty’s recently released Christmas album, Duck The Halls: A Robertson Family Christmas, featuring several top country stars, is reaching No 1 in Billboard Top Country Albums chart.

Duck The Halls debuted on October 29 and sold nearly 70,000 albums in its first week.

Now, three weeks in, it is the biggest debut country holiday album in the last decade, according to Nielsen Soundscan.

Phil, Si, Willie, Jase, Korie, Missy, Sadie and the rest of the Robertson family show off their singing talents in the CD, include a few classics such as I’ll Be Home for Christmas, Silent Night as well as originals like Have a Hairy Christmas and a Happy Happy Happy New Year and Ragin’ Cajun Redneck Christmas, which Willie wrote with Dallas Davidson.

Although none of them had vocal experience except for Missy Robertson, Willie said they weren’t concerned.

“We’ve all sung in church our whole lives,” the Duck Commander CEO said, “and we do lots of karaoke.”

“There are funny parts, serious parts, a little prayer, some of our antics,” he said.

“It’s got us all over it.”

The Robertson family has invited special guests George Strait, Alison Krauss, Luke Bryan and Josh Turner to join them on the 13-track album, which was produced by Buddy Cannon.
