Top 10 Country Songs
Taylor Swift jumps four places to take over the top spot on the charts this week with "Should Have Said No." Keith Urban remains at No. 2 with "You Look Good In My Shirt," followed by Sugarland's "All I Want to Do," dropping from No. 1 to No. 3. Keith Anderson climbs two spots to No. 4 with "I Still Miss You," followed by Brooks & Dunn, with "Put a Girl in It" at No. 5. Next is Alan Jackson's "Good Time," Brad Paisley's "Waiting on a Woman," at No. 7, moving up three spots, Jimmy Wayne's "Do You Believe Me Now" holding for a second week at No. 8, George Strait's "Troubadour," rising 2 to No. 9, and The Lost Trailers also moving up two places, for their first Top 10 hit, "Holler Back." Look for Taylor to hold onto No. 1 for a second week, but Keith Urban is pushing hard to take over, and should do so the following week.
