Comments
Despite the lack of charting singles, Lionel Richie still remains strong with his album Tuskegee. It's #1 for the second week in a row on both the country and pop charts. Luke Bryan's Tailgates & Tanlines moves past Rascal Flatts's return-to-rusticity, Changed. Eric Church continues to show some serious staying power; Chief stays put at #4 after logging 39 weeks on the charts. Jason Aldean's My Kinda Party does likewise at #5. Fresh from releasing three albums last year, Hank III returns with his latest effort, Long Gone Daddy; the son-of-a-son also makes an appearance on Marty Stuart's just-released Nashville, Vol. 1.

Comments
Rascal Flatts and Lady Antebellum are the loudest signals on the radio this week, leaving Blake Shelton in the proverbial static at #26 (down from #23) with "Drink on It." In a bracing public display of affection, Miranda Lambert remains right by his side at #27, even if she's going places with "Over You"; the song stepped up from #31 to #27. Jason Aldean also has his foot on the accelerator, flying past Lee Brice's "Woman Like You" with "Fly Over States."
