George Strait took over the No. 1 spot this week with his song "Give It Away," marking King George's fifty-third No. 1 single. Josh Turner's "Would You Go With Me" advanced two spots to No. 2 and No. 3 goes to Steve Holy's "Brand New Girlfriend." Brooks & Dunn (with Sheryl Crow and Vince Gill) have a song, "Building Bridges," that moved into slot No. 4. The Wreckers drop two spots to No. 5 with "Leave The Pieces." Advancing three spots to No. 6 is Heartland with "I Loved Her First," Rodney Atkins' "If You're Going Through Hell (Before The Devil Even Knows)" is at No. 7, and No. 8 is Keith Urban's "Once In A Lifetime." Dierks Bentley moved up a spot to No. 9 with "Every Mile A Memory," while Faith Hill closed out the Top 10 with "Sunshine and Summertime." Chances are, George Strait will still be No. 1 next week.
