From Jennifer Webb, for About.com

Top 10 Country Singles
Jason Aldean has reason to celebrate this week, his song ("Why") hit the No. 1 spot. Dierks Bentley's "Settle For A Slow Down" jumped a single spot to No. 2 and LeAnn Rimes also jumped a spot with her No. 3 song, "Something's Gotta Give." Sitting at No. 4 is Jack Ingram with "Wherever You Are." Tim McGraw's "When The Stars Go Blue" jumped three spots to No. 5, Faith Hill doesn't want to leave Tim's side because her song, "The Lucky One," is right behind him at No. 6. "The Last Day Of My Life" helped propel Phil Vassar to No. 7. Kenny Chesney's "Summertime" moves into the Top 10 at No. 8. Rascal Flatts' "What Hurts The Most" dropped three spots to No. 9 and rounding out the Top 10 is "Who Says You Can't Go Home," by Bon Jovi w/ Jennifer Nettles. Next week, I wouldn't be surprised if Dierks Bentley wins the race to No. 1.

Moving Up at the Speed of Light
There are several songs jumping three spots this week: Keith Urban's "Live To Love Another Day" at No. 53, Rio Grand with "Kill Me Now" at No. 49, and Mark Wills' "Hank" at No. 46.

The Latest Tunes To Hit The Air Waves
The only new song hitting the air waves this week is No. 59's "Nothin' But A Love Thang," by Darryl Worley.

Tim McGraw's Tim McGraw - Greatest Hits, Vol. 2: Reflected creeps up one spot to No. 2 and Alan Jackson's Precious Memories jumps three spots to No. 3.
