Top 10 Country Singles
As predicted last week, Garth Brooks did indeed debut at the No. 1 position with "More Than a Memory." Rodney Atkins moves to No. 2 with "These Are My People," followed by Rascal Flatts, who move up one with "Take Me There." Reba McEntire and Kelly Clarkson move down two spots to No. 4 with "Because of You." Brooks & Dunn remain at No. 5 with "Proud of the House We Built," followed by Toby Keith, who remains at No. 6, with "Love Me If You Can." Luke Bryan also stays put at No. 7 with "All My Friends Say." Dropping from No. 3 to No. 8 is Kenny Chesney's "Never Wanted Nothing More." Brad Paisley's "Online" climbs one spot to No. 9, and Sugarland's "Everyday America" drops from No. 9 to No. 10 this week. I look for Rascal Flatts to climb into the No. 1 spot next week with "Take Me There."
Moving Up at the Speed of Light
Keith Urban moves up nine from No. 37 to No. 28 this week with "Everybody." Taylor Swift advances seven from No. 49 to No. 23 with "Our Song."
The Latest Tunes To Hit The Air Waves
The only new song on the charts this week is Jake Owen's "Somethin' About a Woman," which bows in at No. 54.
