Top 10 Country Singles
For the second week, Rodney Atkins' "Watching You" is No. 1, but George Strait has jumped to No. 2 with "It Just Comes Natural." No. 3 is Brad Paisley's "She's Everything" and Jason Aldean advanced to No. 4 with his tune, "Amarillo Sky." Rascal Flatts' "My Wish" is at No. 5 and Trace Adkins' "Ladies Love Country Boys" screeches to a halt five spots higher than last week at No. 6. Taylor Swift drops to No. 7 with "Tim McGraw," Keith Urban advances a single spot to No. 8 with "Stupid Boy," and No. 9 is The Wreckers' "My, Oh My." Rounding out the Top 10 is Martina McBride's "Anyway." George Strait may be hot on Rodney Atkins' heels, but I'm predicting a third week at No. 1 for "Watching You."
Moving Up at the Speed of Light
Former American Idol contestant Bucky Covington made an impressive jump this week; His song, "A Different World," advanced ten spots to land at No. 47. Not to be outdone, Rascal Flatts' "Stand" did two better with a twelve spot jump to No. 35.
