Commercial performance[edit]

Trick Pony debuted at its peak position of number 12 on the Top Country Albums chart, scanning 17,000 copies. This would go on to break a record for highest first week sales by a duo/group's debut album, surpassing the 11,000 Rascal Flatts had sold with their eponymous album.[4] The sales led the album to skip the Heatseekers Albums and chart at number 91 on the Billboard 200, where it peaked. In total, the record would spend 104 weeks on the country albums chart. It is their most successful album to date, being certified Gold for 500,000 shipments by the RIAA.
