Top 10 Country Singles
There's a new No. 1 song this week and it is "Who Says You Can't Go Home" by Bon Jovi and Jennifer Nettles. This No. 1 marks the first time a rock artist has had a No. 1 crossover hit in the country genre since the fifties. The song knocked Rascal Flatts' "What Hurts The Most" to the No. 2. slot. Jason Aldean managed to move up a spot to No. 3 with "Why." Also moving up is Jack Ingram's "Wherever You Are," which moved from No. 6 to No. 4. Faith Hill is feeling lucky with No. 5 song, "The Lucky One," Dierks Bentley jumps three spots to No. 6 with "Settle For A Slow Down," and LeAnn Rimes also jumps three to No. 7 with "Something's Gotta Give." Brooks & Dunn are stuck on No. 8 for yet another week with their song, "Believe." Tim McGraw's latest, "When The Stars Go Blue," enters the Top 10 at No. 9 and Keith Urban's "Tonight I Wanna Cry," which dropped five spots to No. 10. Even though Bon Jovi and Jennifer Nettles' song losing spins, I wouldn't be surprised if were once again No. 1 next week.
Moving Up at the Speed of Light
Three lucky artists had songs moving up at a lightning-fast pace and they all jumped over ten spots. Sara Evans' "Coalmine" jumped eleven spots to No. 49, Rascal Flatts' "Me And My Gang" jumped thirteen spots to No. 26, and Toby Keith's "A Little Too Late" jumped fifteen spots to No. 30.
