Top 10 Country Singles
For the second week in a row, Rodney Atkins' "If You're Going Through Hell (Before The Devil Even Knows)" sits at the No. 1 spot on the charts while Toby Keith "hangs in there" at No. 2 with "A Little Too Late." The Wreckers moved up two spots to land their tune, "Leave The Pieces," at No. 3. Gary Allan's "Life Ain't Always Beautiful" made a great advance of four places to hit No. 4, Brad Paisley's at No. 5 with "The World," Kenny Chesney's "Summertime" remains at No. 6, and Rascal Flatts also hang on to last week's spot (No. 7) with "Me And My Gang." Steve Holy moves up the charts, landing "Brand New Girlfriend" at No. 8. Little Big Town's "Bring It On Home" stays at No. 9, and No. 10 is Carrie Underwood's "Don't Forget To Remember Me," which dropped seven spots. Chances are, Rodney Atkins will have a third week at No. 1. That is, unless The Wreckers gain some more ground.
