Top 10 Country Singles
For the second week in a row, George Strait sits at the top of the charts with "Give It Away," while Josh Turner's "Would You Go With Me" hopes to get higher than No. 2 next week. Heartland really stepped up their game because "I Loved Her First" jumped three spots to No. 3. Remaining at No. 4 is "Building Bridges," by Brooks & Dunn (with Sheryl Crow and Vince Gill). Dierks Bentley is having a good week with his single, "Every Mile A Memory," since it jumped four spots to No. 5, Steve Holy's "Brand New Girlfriend" dropped to No. 6, and Keith Urban's "Once In A Lifetime" hit No. 7. The Wreckers' "Leave The Pieces" is three spots higher at No. 8, No. 9 is Rodney Atkins' "If You're Going Through Hell (Before The Devil Even Knows)," and Kenny Chesney slides into the Top 10 at No. 10 with his song, "You Save Me." I predict Josh Turner will take over the No. 1 spot next week.
Moving Up at the Speed of Light
There are only three songs moving up at the speed of light: Five spot jumper "You Don't Know A Thing" (by Steve Azar) at No. 49, another five spot jumper "Watching You" (by Rodney Atkins) at No. 42, and "'Fore She Was A Mama" (Clay Walker) which jumped a total of six positions to No. 50.
