Comments
Kip Moore claims the #1 spot with "Somethin' 'Bout a Truck," a relative old-timer that was released last September. The tune clearly has staying power, something you can also say of Jason Aldean's "Fly Over States." The My Kinda Party song pushed down to #2 after leading the country singles charts last week. At the same time, Zac Brown Band's "No Hurry" moves slowly and steadily upward, presently reaching a high water mark of #3. As I foresaw in my infinite wisdom, Eric Church's name-dropper "Springsteen" broke into the top 5 this week, clocking in at #4. Carrie Underwood's "Good Girl" stalls at #5. Kenny Chesney, Miranda Lambert, and Rascal Flatts -- whose have all dropped off the top 5 -- make a bid for reconquest with the release of their new singles this week.

Comments
Carrie Underwood marks her third week at #1 with Blown Away. Lionel Richie's Tuskegee is the other power player on the country album charts; this is Richie's eighth week in the top two slots after debuting at #1 in early April. Luke Bryan completes the trifecta with Tailgates & Tanlines; like Underwood and Richie's albums, it remains exactly where it was last week. Also staying put is Eric Church, at #5 with Chief. So it's a rather boring lineup this week. Mixing things up, thankfully, is Willie Nelson, whose new album Heroes makes an impressive debut at #4.

Radio listeners couldn't get Carrie Underwood out of their heads, apparently. "Good Girl," her flagship single from Blown Away, stands above the competition at #23. Jason Aldean falls from #20 to #25 with "Fly Over States." The Zac Brown Band's "No Hurry," Eric Church's "Springsteen," and Luke Bryan's "Drunk On You" each make modest gains. Also rising up the radio charts, but narrowly missing the top 5 roundup, is Tim McGraw's "Better Than I Used to Be," from Emotional Traffic. The introspective tune climbs up three rungs, from #36 to #33. And that's all, folks.
