Top 10 Country Singles
Call me wrong for a second week, because Carrie Underwood 's "Before He Cheats" is still No. 1, while Rascal Flatts' "My Wish" is in the No. 2 position. The next five spots are exactly the same this week as they were last week: No. 3 is Sugarland with "Want To," No. 4 is "You Save Me" by Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw is No. 5 with "My Little Girl," No. 6 is Brad Paisley's "She's Everything," and Montgomery Gentry's "Some People Change" is No. 7. Advancing a single spot to No. 8 is George Strait's "It Just Comes Natural." No. 9 finds Rodney Atkins' "Watching You", marking jump of four spots. Lonestar is back in the Top 10 with No. 10's "Mountains." I'll predict Rascal Flatts as next week's No. 1, because I'd like to (somehow) justify being wrong the past two weeks. Hopefully, third time is a charm for me.
Moving Up at the Speed of Light
Tracy Lawrence jumped six spots to land "Find Out Who Your Friends Are" at No. 44, while Martina McBride's "Anyway" advanced six spots to land at No. 23. The highest jumper of the week is Keith Urban with No. 28's "Stupid Boy," which is now ten spots higher than it was last week.
The Latest Tunes To Hit The Air Waves
There are a total of four new songs this week: Gary Nichols' "I Can't Love You Anymore" at No. 60, Brad Paisley at No. 59 with "Santa Looked A Lot Like Daddy," Dean Martin and Martina McBride's "Baby, It's Cold Outside" at No. 58, and No. 57's "Wasted" by Carrie Underwood.
