• Mumford & Sons Drops, Tech N9ne Sets Personal Record on Albums Chart

That's a sizable number but more than a 50 percent drop off from the band's previous album, 'Babel,' which debuted with 600,000 copies sold (the biggest rock debut of the decade thus far, in the band's defense).

Honorees Jason Aldean and Keith Urban mentioned Bryan throughout the ceremony, and Lady Antebellum played a touching tribute for the grieving superstar with his hit "Drink a Beer."
