Jaron and the Long Road to Love debut at number-two with Getting Dressed in the Dark, bumping Zac Brown Band's The Foundation to number-three. Miranda Lambert's Revolution goes to number-four. And now that the dust has settled, Carrie Underwood's Play On takes the final spot in the Top 5, inching out Dierks Bentley's Up on the Ridge.
