Billboard launched its Bluegrass Albums chart in 2002, and for the past several years, Old Crow Medicine Show has held the record for the most No. 1 albums in the chart’s history.

This week (on the Sept. 14-dated chart), the Steep Canyon Rangers tie the record with their new live album, Live at Greenfield Lake. The set debuts at No. 1 with nearly 1,000 copies sold, according to Luminate, becoming the group’s 10th No. 1.

The Steep Canyon Rangers charted their first album on Billboard’s charts in May 2006 with One Dime at a Time (No. 13 peak). They followed that up with two top 10 projects, Lovin’ Pretty Women (No. 5; 2007) and Deep in the Shade (No. 3; 2009) before teaming up with Steve Martin for their first No. 1: Rare Bird Alert in 2011.
