context_page_description: Top Country Albums is a chart that ranks the top-performing country music albums in the United States, published by Billboard. In 1967, 17 different albums topped the chart based on sales reports submitted by a representative sample of stores nationwide. The chart was published under the banner Hot Country Albums in the issue of Billboard dated January 6 but the title changed to Top Country LP's the following week.
  In the issue of Billboard dated January 6, Eddy Arnold was at number one with the album Turn the World Around, the record's third week in the top spot. It remained at number one for the first five weeks of 1968 before it was displaced from the top spot in the issue dated February 10 by By the Time I Get to Phoenix by Glen Campbell, which spent four weeks atop the chart. It was the first chart-topping album for Campbell, who had previously worked largely as a session musician, but it marked the start of an unbroken run of number ones in quick succession.
