Top 10 Country Singles
Trace Adkins' "Ladies Love Country Boys" held on to the No. 1 position for the second week, while Kenny Chesney's "Beer In Mexico" advanced into the No. 2 position (from last week's No. 5). At No. 3 is "Watching You" by Rodney Atkins. Keith Urban's "Stupid Boy" dropped to No. 4 and Tim McGraw's "Last Dollar (Fly Away)" jumped to No. 5. Also jumping is Martina McBride's latest, "Anyway," at No. 6. Carrie Underwood found herself at No. 7 with "Wasted" and Rascal Flatts moved into the Top 10 with No. 8's "Stand." Sugarland's "Settlin'" is two spots higher at No. 9 and Jason Michael Carroll rounds out the Top 10 with "Alyssa Lies." With Kenny Chesney hot on Trace Adkins' heels, I'm almost certain the beach-loving singer will take over the top on next week's charts.
Moving Up at the Speed of Light
This week, two songs jumped a total of six spots: Little Big Town's "A Little More You" at No. 44 and No. 35's "Teardrops On My Guitar" by Taylor Swift. The biggest advance was Katrina Elam's eight-spot mover "Flat On The Floor," which landed at No. 52.
The Latest Tunes To Hit The Air Waves
Rick Trevino's "Seperate Ways" debuted at No. 59, Craig Morgan's "Tough" did five better at No. 54, "Tennessee" (by The Wreckers) went to No. 54, and Brad Paisley's "Ticks" was the highest debut at No. 50.
