Top 10 Country Singles
Make it week number four for Carrie Underwood's "Jesus, Take The Wheel," at the top of the chart. The song has lost its bullet and Trace Adkins "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk" is closing in fast. I look for Trace to take the top spot next week, although it's possible that Carrie may hang on if Trace doesn't gain enough new spins to overtake her. At No. 3, moving up one is Brad Paisley's "When I Get Where I'm Going," followed by the descending George Strait's "She Let Herself Go." Billy Currington remains at No. 5 with "Must Be Doin' Somethin' Right," while Faith Hill moves up one spot to No. 6 with "Like We Never Loved At All," and Tim McGraw drops one spot to No. 7 with "My Old Friend." Josh Turner moves up two spots this week to No. 8, with "Your Man." Sugarland's "Just Might (Make Me Believe)" drops one to No. 9 this week, followed by Keith Urban, rising one to No. 10 with "Tonight I Wanna Cry."
Moving Up at the Speed of Light
Phil Vassar's "Last Day Of My Life," debuted last week at No. 56, and this week, it's the top mover, moving up nine spots to No. 47. Tied for second fastest is Dierks Bentley's "Settle For A Slowdown" (45 - 37), and Big & Rich's "Never Mind Me" (53 - 45).
The Latest Tunes To Hit The Air Waves
John Corbett debuts at No. 48 with "Good to Go." Clint Black's "Drinkin' Songs & Other Logic" debuts at No. 54. At No. 58 is Cross Canadian Ragweed's "This Time Around," and new RCA Nashville artist, John Pierce debuts at No. 59 with "I'd Still Have You."
