Sam Hunt’s career rides on a surprising number of studio albums | Music City Minute

When Sam Hunt burst onto the country music scene, he was primed and marketed as the next big thing. That said, he has certainly proved himself as a recording artist and performer over the last decade. Even though he has charted eleven number one songs, Hunt has only released two studio albums since signing with MCA Nashville. Even by today’s standards – with most country albums averaging 15 to 30 songs that an artist can promote for about two years – two albums since 2014 is ridiculously low by comparison. However, Sam Hunt is not alone in this uniquely tiny boat. For instance, The Band Perry has only put out three country albums, Jamey Johnson only has four studio albums to his name and sadly, Keith Whitley only recorded three albums before passing away in 1989. By the way, very few artists and bands can compare to Willie Nelson, who has put out 104 studio albums over 70 years, averaging about 15 albums a decade!
