Top 10 Country Singles
We have a new No. 1 this week, as Rascal Flatts move up to the top with "Stand." Sugarland is tired of "Settlin'" for third place, and this week, moves up to No. 2. Carrie's "Wasted" drops to No. 3. Billy Currington's "Good Directions" remains at No. 4 for a second week, while Toby Keith's "High Maintenance Woman" does the same at No. 5. Alan Jackson moves up three spots to No. 6 this week, with "A Woman's Love." Also moving up three to No. 7 is Emerson Drive with "Moments." Brad Paisley's "Ticks" sits still at No. 8, while Tracy Lawrence's "Find Out Who Your Friends Are" jumps by four into the Top 10, sitting at No. 9 this week. Rounding out the Top 10 is Tim McGraw, who drops four spots with "Last Dollar (Fly Away)." Next week, I see Sugarland receiving their second No. 1, as "Settlin'" moves up to the top spot.
Moving Up at the Speed of Light
Trace Adkins holds the fastest moving song this week, as "I Wanna Feel Something" moves up eight spots from No. 48 to No. 40. Keith Urban is still heating up the charts, though not quite to the extent of last week's jump. "I Told You So" moves from No. 33 to No. 26 this week. Also moving up by seven is Tim and Faith's "I Need You," moving from No. 40 to No. 33. Martina McBride is the third song making a seven spot move with "How I Feel," moving from No. 50 to No. 45.
The Latest Tunes To Hit The Air Waves
The Hot Shot Debut this week belongs to Carrie Underwood, with "I'll Stand By You," which debuts at No. 50. This song was recorded to accompany the footage of her trip to Africa this past April for American Idol's Idol Gives Back charity special. While not officially serviced to radio, the song is an exclusive iTunes download, and the proceeds go to help children and young people living in extreme poverty in the United States and Africa. Other songs that are new on the charts this week include Gretchen Wilson's title track to her upcoming album, "One of the Boys," which debuts at No. 59, and Travis Tritt's "You Never Take Me Dancing," which debuts at No. 60.
