Top 10 Country Singles

It's another week at No. 1 for Carrie Underwood and "Before He Cheats" and that means Rascal Flatts' "My Wish" is stuck at No. 2 yet again. Kenny Chesney hasn't moved an inch from No. 3's "You Save Me" and Sugarland also remains at No. 4 with "Want To." Tim McGraw is No. 5 with "My Little Girl." Keith Urban's "Once In A Lifetime" advanced a single spot to No. 6, Heartland's "I Loved Her First" hit No. 7, and No. 8 is Dierks Bentley's "Every Mile A Memory." Montgomery Gentry's "Some People Change" is No. 9 yet again and No. 10 finds Brad Paisley's song, "She's Everything." Next week, I predict Rascal Flatts will claim the top spot.

Moving Up at the Speed of Light
Three songs advanced a total of six spots this week: No. 48's "I Keep Coming Back" by Josh Gracin, No. 46's "Startin' With Me" by Josh Owen, and Chris Young's "Drinkin' Me Lonely" at No. 42. Trace Adkins' "Ladies Love Country Boys" jumped seven spots, but the highest advancing song is "Hillbilly Deluxe" by Brooks and Dunn. The song jumped thirteen spots this week.
