Top 10 Country Singles
Billy Currington holds onto the top spot for a second week with "Must Be Doin' Somethin' Right.". George Strait remains at No. 2 with "She Let Herself Go", followed by Carrie Underwood's "Jesus, Take The Wheel," followed by Garth Brooks' "Good Ride Cowboy." Dierks Bentley is next with "Come A Little Closer" at No. 5. Trace Adkins moves up two to No. 6 with "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk", while Joe Nichols' "Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off" drops one to No. 7. Kenny Chesney's "Who You'd Be Today" also drops one, while Little Big Town's "Boondocks." moves up one to No. 9 this week. Sitting at No. 10 is Faith Hill and Tim McGraw's "Like We Never Loved At All". I think George Strait will move up to the top of the charts next week, giving him his 52nd No. 1 song.
Moving Up at the Speed of Light
Due to the time of the year, not a lot of songs are zooming up the charts, however Kenny Chesney's Livin' In Fast Forward" bucks the trend moving up nine spots from No. 41 to No. 32 this week. Steve Azar's "Catfish Christmas" also moves up seven this week from No. 60 to No. 53.
The Latest Tunes To Hit The Air Waves
We have four new songs this week. The first is Rascal Flatts new single from their upcoming album, due out in April. It's called "What Hurts the Most," and it debuts at No. 33 this week. Keith Anderson releases what I think will be his first No. 1 song. I just love this song. It's called "Every Time I Hear Your Name," and it debuts at No. 49. Josh Gracin has the last two new songs, both of which are Christmas tunes. "Please Come Home For Christmas" debuts at No. 51, and "O Holy Night" debuts at No. 59.
