Top 10 Country Singles
Rodney Atkins' "If You're Going Through Hell (Before The Devil Even Knows)" celebrates its third week at No. 1, while The Wreckers moved up a spot to No. 2 with "Leave The Pieces." Steve Holy's "Brand New Girlfriend" advanced five spaces to hit No. 3, Toby Keith dropped two spots to No. 4 with "A Little Too Late," and Little Big Town's "Bring It On Home" experienced a surge in spins meaning they jumped four spots to No. 5. No. 6 is "Life Ain't Always Beautiful" by Gary Allan and Brad Paisley's "The World" is No. 7. George Strait continues his climb up charts this week. His song, "Give It Away," moved into the Top 10 at No. 8. Brooks & Dunn (with Sheryl Crow and Vince Gill) made it to No. 9 with "Building Bridges." Rounding out the Top 10 is Faith Hill with "Sunshine and Summertime." Next week I think either The Wreckers or Steve Holy will slide into the No. 1 spot.
Moving Up at the Speed of Light
Phil Vassar's "The Woman In My Life" advanced nine spots to land on No. 47, Craig Morgan jumped ten spots to No. 45 with "Little Bit Of Life," and Sarah Buxton's "Innocence" skipped eleven spaces to No. 43. The highest advancing single this week was Kenny Chesney's song, "You Save Me." It skyrocketed sixteen spots to wind up in the No. 31 position.

Three singles are making their debut on the charts this week: No. 57's "Crash Here Tonight" by Toby Keith, No. 56's "My Wish" by Rascal Flatts, and Pat Green's No. 55 song ("Way Back Texas").
