Singles from Happy Endings (album)

Happy Endings is the second studio album by American country music ensemble Old Dominion. It was released on August 25, 2017, via RCA Nashville.[1] In late 2017, the band hosted a dive bar tour in support of the record.[2]

Critical reception

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote that "Since Happy Endings flows so easily, it may be easy to glide along with its slick surfaces, but a close listen reveals not only the sturdiness of the songs but the cleverness of the production", rating it 4 out of 5 stars.[3] Cillea Houghton of Sounds Like Nashville reviewed the album with favor, stating that "The album finds them in a slightly more poignant place than on 2015's Meat and Candy, while still flaunting their clever personalities and unique songwriting style."[4]

Commercial performance

The album debuted at No. 1 on Top Country Albums, selling 31,000 copies, and 41,000 equivalent album units when streaming and track sales are included.[5] It also debuted on Billboard 200 at No. 7. It has sold 107,400 copies in the US as of February 2019.[6]
