Top 10 Country Singles
Dierks Bentley celebrates a second week at No. 1 for his song, "Settle For A Slow Down," while Kenny Chesney's "Summertime" jumps two spots to land in the No. 2 spot. LeAnn Rimes seems to be stuck at No. 3 again with "Something's Gotta Give," while advancing a single spot to No. 4 is "The Last Day Of My Life" by Phil Vassar, and Jason Aldean drops three spots to No. 5 with his song, "Why." Remaining at No. 6 for another week is Tim McGraw's "When The Stars Go Blue." Brad Paisley creeps up one spot to No. 7 with the song, "The World," Carrie Underwood makes a significant four-spot jump to No. 8 with "Don't Forget To Remember Me," and Joe Nichols' "Size Matters (Someday)" stays put at No. 9. With a gain of three places, Keith Anderson's "Everytime I Hear Your Name" closes out the Top 10. I think next week's No. 1 will be a race between Kenny Chesney and LeAnn Rimes - with Rimes being the winner.
Moving Up at the Speed of Light
Brooks & Dunn (with Sheryl Crow)'s "Building Bridges" jumped an amazing eighteen spots this week - landing on No. 41. No other song even came close to moving that fast.
The Latest Tunes To Hit The Air Waves
