Top 10 Country Singles
Keith Urban is celebrating his No. 1 victory with "Better Life," while Montgomery Gentry drop to No. 2 with "Something To Be Proud Of." Craig Morgan finds his song, "Redneck Yacht Club," in the No. 3 spot yet again this week. Jamie O'Neal also stays in the same spot (No. 4) with "Somebody's Hero." Josh Gracin's "Stay With Me (Brass Bed)" jumps one spot to No. 5 and LeAnn Rimes' "Probably Wouldn't Be This Way" lands on No. 6. Sara Evans' "A Real Fine Place To Start" drops to No. 7, while Rascal Flatts' "Skin (Sarabeth)" hit No. 8, and Kenny Chesney makes his way into the Top 10 with No. 9's "Who You'd Be Today." Jason Aldean finds his way back to the Top 10 with No. 10's "Hicktown." Keith Urban is pretty popular, but my guess is that Craig Morgan's "Redneck Yacht Club" will finally bust out of the No. 3 spot and make it all the way to No. 1.
Moving Up at the Speed of Light
Three songs jumped a total of six spaces: Brad Paisley's "When I Get Where I'm Going" at No. 32, Trace Adkins' "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk" at No. 30, and Sugarland's "Just Might (Make Me Believe)" at No. 28. The biggest jump, however, goes to Tim McGraw's song, "My Old Friend," moving a total of twelve spaces to land at No. 33.
