1. BENTLEY DID: For the thirteenth time in his career, Dierks Bentley has the top song in country music. This week it is the third Riser single, Say You Do. The Riser CD has been perfect so far in generating #1 hits. The first two singles hit the top last year: I Hold On and Drunk On A Plane. Riser starts like his previous CD, Home in generating a trio of chart topping hits. Home had Am I The Only One (2011), Home (2012) and 5-1-5-0 (2012) at the top. 2. Z.B.B. HIGH: The Zac Brown Band debut their second Jekyll + Hyde single, Loving You Easy at #30, grabbing Hot Shot Debut honors as well. Their first, Homegrown started at #23. It went to #1 for three weeks and is currently at #9. 3. NEW ELDREDGE: Brett Eldredge debuts a new single from an upcoming CD in Lose My Mind at #34. His debut CD, Bring You Back produced a trio of chart toppers: 1. Don't Ya-2013 2. Beat Of The Music-2014 3. Mean To Me-2015 4. HIS GIRL IS FAST: Cole Swindell has the fastest climbing song of the week with Let Me See Ya Girl. It goes up eight to #45. 5. REBA'S DOZEN: Reba McEntire lands the 12th #1 album in her career with Love Somebody. Her Nash Icon debut sold 59,000 copies last week. She now has more #1 albums than any female artist. Her chart topping CDs are: 1. Whoever's In New England-1986 2. What Am I Gonna Do About You-1987 3. Reba-1988 4. Sweet Sixteen-1989 5. It's Your Call-1993 6. Greatest Hits Volume Two-1994 7.

YOAKAM'S HERE TOO: Debuting at #2 on the country albums chart is Dwight Yoakam's Second Hand Heart. It sold 21,000 copies last week. His last CD, 3 Pears debuted at #3 in 2012. He has three chart topping CDs. They are: 1. Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc.-1986 2. Hillbilly Deluxe-1987 3. Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room-1988 7. A 00S LOOK: These were the chart topping hits during the last week of April during the 2000s: 2000: The Best Day-George Strait-MCA 2001: Ain't Nothing 'Bout You-Brooks & Dunn-Arista 2002: My List-Toby Keith-DreamWorks 2003: Have You Forgotten-Darryl Worley-DreamWorks 2004: When The Sun Goes Down-Kenny Chesney and Uncle Kracker-BNA 2005: Anything But Mine-Kenny Chesney-BNA 2006: What Hurts The Most-Rascal Flatts-Lyric Street 2007: Wasted-Carrie Underwood-Arista 2008: I Saw God Today-George Strait-MCA 2009: It's America-Rodney Atkins-Curb 8. MILESTONE TOP TEN CHART: Marty Robbins was the first recipient of the Artist of the Decade by the A.C.M. for the 1960s. He entered the 1970s by collecting his 14th #1 hit, My Woman, My Woman, My Wife, our top song 45 years ago this week. Robbins ended the 1960s with the It's A Sin album. Two singles became hits in 1969: the title track (#5) and I Can't Say Goodbye (#8). It was during this time he suffered the first of three heart attacks. He had surgery and continued to tour and record. A single release only in Camelia reached #10 in early 1970. My Woman, My Woman, My Wife was written by Robbins and dedicated to his wife, Marizona (married in 1948). The single was released in January and climbed all the way to the top in May. It became the title track and ONLY single from the album. With it, Robbins topped the charts during the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, becoming the second artist to do so after Sonny James topping the chart in February with It's Just A Matter Of Time. Robbins still had some crossover appeal in 1970 by having My Woman, My Woman, My Wife peak at #42 pop. Next up for Robbins was a greatest hits album which contained Jolie Girl (#7 in 1970) and Padre (#5 in 1971). After Padre peaked, Robbins would win a Grammy Award for My Woman, My Woman, My Wife. That was his second Grammy after winning one in 1961 for El Paso (#1 country and #1 pop between 1959-1960). Robbins would stay at Columbia until 1972. His other hits for the label are: 1. The Chair-1971-#7 2. Early Morning Sunshine-1971-#9 3. The Best Part Of Living-1972-#6 4. I've Got A Woman's Love-1972-#32 Robbins would then sign to Decca Records in 1972. In a box set of his, he said the biggest mistake he made was to leave Columbia Records. Robbins would do well with Decca (later MCA). His major hits for them are: 1. This Much A Man-1972-#11 2. Walking Piece Of Heaven-1973-#6-his biggest hit for them 3. Love Me-1973-#9 4. Twentieth Century Drifter-1974-#10 5. Don't You Think-1974-#12 He returned to Columbia in 1975. His career received a jump start with the El Paso City album of 1976. The title track and Among My Souvenirs became his 15th and 16th chart topping hits, respectively. Those became the last times he would see his name at the top of the page. He continued to have major hits until 1982. Those hits were: 1. Adios Amigos-1977-#4 2. I Don't Know Why I Just Do-1977-#10 3. Don't Let Me Touch You-1977-#6 4. Return To Me-1978-#6 5. Please Don't Play A Love Song-1978-#17 6. Touch Me With Magic-1979-#15 7. All Around Cowboy-1979-#16 8. Some Memories Just Won't Die-1982-#10 In 1982, Robbins was inducted to the Country Music Hall of Fame in October. On December 1, Robbins suffered his third heart attack (second one was in 1981). A week later he died of complications after surgery. He was 57 years old. A movie he starred in called Honkytonk Man (also starring Clint Eastwood) debuted after his death. Honkytonk Man was the first single to his Some Memories Just Won't Die album. It peaked at #10 in 1983, becoming his final top ten and final top 40 hit. His last chart appearance was in 1983 with What If I Said I Love You (#57) and his last CD was released in 2005 called The Essential Marty Robbins. This is what the chart looked like back then:
BILLBOARD TOP TEN FOR WEEK ENDING MAY 2, 1970: 1. MY WOMAN, MY WOMAN, MY WIFE-MARTY ROBBINS-COLUMBIA 2. Is Anybody Goin' To San Antone-Charley Pride-RCA 3. The Pool Shark-Dave Dudley-Mercury 4.

1. DIERKS SAYS: For the second week, Dierks Bentley is tops with Say You Do. So far, Bentley has ruled for five weeks with his three chart toppers from Riser: one week for I Hold On (2014), two weeks for Drunk On A Plane (2014), and so far, two weeks for Say You Do. If Bentley manages a third week at #1 for Say You Do, it will match his longest reigning chart topper, Come A Little Closer from 2005. 2. MAYBE?: Easton Corbin is at #11 with Baby Be My Love Song. He has not seen the top ten in two years since All Over The Road hit #3. If Baby Be My Love Song hits the top ten, it will be Corbin's fifth to do so. His top tens are: 1. A Little More Country Than That-2010-#1 2. Roll With It-2010-#1 3. Lovin' You Is Fun-2012-#5 4. All Over The Road-2013-#3 3. RHETT IS FAST: Thomas Rhett has the fastest climbing song of the week as Crash And Burn flies up ten to #30. 4. ROGERS/BOWEN: Randy Rogers and Wade Bowen come together on the country albums chart this week at #4 with Hold My Beer, Vol. 1. 13,000 copies were sold. 5. A 00S LOOK PART II: These were the top selling CDs during the first week of May during the 2000s: 2000: Fly-the Dixie Chicks-Monument 2001: Steers & Stripes-Brooks & Dunn-Arista 2002: O Brother, Where Art Thou-Soundtrack-Lost Highway 2003: Have You Forgotten-Darryl Worley-DreamWorks 2004: When The Sun Goes Down-Kenny Chesney-BNA 2005: The Right To Bare Arms-Larry the Cable Guy-Warner Bros. 2006: Me And My Gang-Rascal Flatts-Lyric Street 2007: Bucky Covington-Bucky Covington-Lyric Street 2008: Troubadour-George Strait-MCA 2009: Hannah Montana: The Movie-Soundtrack-Walt Disney 6. MILESTONE TOP TEN CHART: Lightning has struck twice. I had saluted Brooks & Dunn's He's Got You earlier this year. The #2 hit from 1998 came from their first greatest hits CD. Now, I am saluting It's Getting Better All The time, a #1 hit from their second hits survey. It was our top song just a decade ago this week. The track listing to The Greatest Hits Collection II is as follows: 1. That's What It's All About-2004-#2 2. How Long Gone-1998-#1 3. Ain't Nothing 'Bout You-2001-#1-chart wise, their biggest hit 4. The Long Goodbye-2002-#1 5. My Heart Is Lost To You-2002-#5 6. I Can't Get Over You-1999-#5 7. Red Dirt Road-2003-#1 8. Husbands And Wives-1998-#1 9. That's What She Gets For Loving Me-2004-#6 10. You Can't Take The Honky Tonk Out Of The Girl-2004-#3 11. It's Getting Better All The Time-2005-#1 12. Only In America-2001-#1 13. A Man This Lonely-1997-#1 14. Independent Trucker 15. I'll Never Forgive My Heart-1995-#6 16. If You See Him/If You See Her-with Reba McEntire-1998-#1 17. South Of Santa Fe The CD features three new songs. The first, That's What It's All About was released in July, 2004. It climbed all the way to #2, unable to topple Mr. Mom by Lonestar in November. It became their fifth #2 hit. It's Getting Better All The Time debuted in December and went to #1 in May, 2005 becoming their 19th chart topping hit. The CD is certified platinum. After the success of that CD, Brooks & Dunn released Hillbilly Deluxe. The first single, Play Something Country became their 20th and final chart topping hit. They went a 180 with their next release, Believe. Released just before 2005 ended, the gospel tinged single peaked at #8 in 2006. Between those singles, Brooks & Dunn won their thirteenth and final C.M.A. Award for Vocal Duo of the Year. Building Bridges received vocal support from Sheryl Crow and Vince Gill. It peaked at #4. Hillbilly Deluxe interrupted their string of eight consecutive top tens at #16. The final studio CD that Brooks & Dunn would release was Cowboy Town in 2007. Four major hits were pulled from the CD: 1. Proud Of The House We Built-2007-#4 2. God Must Be Busy-2008-#11 3. Put A Girl In It-2008-#3 4. Cowgirls Don't Cry-2009-#2 Cowgirls Don't Cry was performed at the 2008 C.M.A. Awards with McEntire. After their performance, Arista reissued it as a duet. By the time it hit #2 in early 2009, it became the final top ten of Brooks & Dunn's career. Shortly after that song peaked, Brooks & Dunn announced a farewell tour. They would tour between 2009-2010. In the meantime, Arista released a chart toppers CD called #1s...And Then Some. Two new songs climbed into the top 20, peaking at #16: Indian Summer and Honky Tonk Stomp with Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top. After their tour ended in 2010, they went to work on solo CDs. Ronnie Dunn has been more successful than Kix Brooks. Dunn's self-titled CD from 2011 has produced two major hits in Bleed Red (#10 in 2011) and Cost Of Livin' (#19 in 2011). Brooks' biggest hit during this time is the title track to his New To This Town CD (#31 in 2012 with Joe Walsh). The chart toppers CD was rereleased in 2012 as The Essential Brooks & Dunn. This year has been exciting if you are a fan of Brooks & Dunn. They announced they were getting back together again after a five year hiatus. They will be joining McEntire in Las Vegas for a series of concerts. Furthermore, McEntire and Dunn have signed to the Nash Icon label (O.K. Brooks, why aren't you signed yet?). This is what the chart looked like back then:
BILLBOARD TOP TEN FOR WEEK ENDING MAY 7, 2005: 1. IT'S GETTING BETTER ALL THE TIME-BROOKS & DUNN-ARISTA 2. Anything But Mine-Kenny Chesney-BNA 3. Gone-Montgomery Gentry-Columbia 4. That's What I Love About Sunday-Craig Morgan-Broken Bow 5. My Give A Damn's Busted-Jo Dee Messina-Curb 6. Homewrecker-Gretchen Wilson-Epic 7. If Heaven-Andy Griggs-RCA 8. Songs About Me-Trace Adkins-Capitol 9. What's A Guy Gotta Do-Joe Nichols-Universal South 10. Honky Tonk U-Toby Keith-DreamWorks

A CORRECTION: Last week, I had stated that Brooks & Dunn won their final C.M.A. Award for Vocal Duo in 2005. Not so. They won their fourteenth and final award in 2006.

MILESTONE TOP TEN CHART: 2015 marks the tenth anniversary of Carrie Underwood winning American Idol and the release of her debut CD, Some Hearts (Billboard's top country album of the decade). Six years ago this week, Underwood was joined by Randy Travis for their duet, I Told You So that peaked at #2. As we all know, Underwood drew a record amount of votes while on American Idol. She literally crushed the competition every week until she met Bo Bice in the finals. Nothing changed there as she was crowned the fourth Idol winner. Striking while the iron was hot, she signed to Arista Records and went to work on her debut CD, Some Hearts. Arista tested the waters by releasing a promo single called Inside Your Heaven. It ended up debuting at #1 on the pop chart, interrupting the reign of Mariah Carey's We Belong Together. That made Underwood the first country artist to debut at the top there (Bice's version debuted at #2). It became a crossover hit by peaking at #52 country and #12 adult contemporary. Some Hearts was released and it debuted at #1 country and #2 top 200 when 315,000 copies were sold. Jesus, Take The Wheel was next. Released during the fall of 2005, it became Underwood's first country chart topper in January, 2006. It became her biggest hit at six weeks at the top. That too became a crossover hit, peaking at #20 pop and #23 A.C.. The title track was released to A.C. only and it peaked at #12 there. Don't Forget To Remember Me became her first #2 hit (#49 pop), unable to dislodge Brad Paisley's The World from the top. Before He Cheats lodged as an album cut for months on the charts. Arista finally released it as a single and it became her biggest crossover hit (#1 country, #8 pop, and #6 A.C.). At the 2006 C.M.A.s, Underwood won the Horizon Award and Female Vocalist Award (I can still see Faith Hill saying, 'What?'). Underwood kicked off her 2007 with her third #1, Wasted (#37 pop). While Wasted was on the chart, Underwood picked up her first two Grammy Awards for Best New Artist and Female Country Vocal Performance for Jesus, Take The Wheel. She won the Top New Female Vocalist, Female Vocalist, and Single of the Year for Jesus, Take The Wheel at the 2007 A.C.M.s. With her debut CD being a runaway success, she went to work on her Carnival Ride CD. It became her first CD to debut at the top of the country and top 200 charts when 527,000 copies were sold. Underwood won C.M.A. Awards for Female Vocalist and Single of the Year for Before He Cheats. So Small was the lead single and it became her fourth chart topping hit (#17 pop). 2008 saw All-American Girl hit the top (#27 pop). While that single was on the chart, Underwood won her third Grammy for Before He Cheats. A trio of A.C.M. Awards followed Underwood: Female Vocalist, Album of the Year for Some Hearts, and Video of the Year Before He Cheats. Last Name (#19 pop) and Just A Dream (#29 pop) became country chart toppers in 2008. Underwood won her third Female Vocalist of the Year form the C.M.A.. During the year, Underwood played the Grand Ole Opry on several occasions. On one memorable night, Underwood performed the Randy Travis classic, I Told You So (for the record, Underwood was five years old when Travis hit #1 in 1988 with his version). After her performance, the audience went crazy. Travis surprised Underwood by making an appearance. Underwood was startled when she saw him and thought the standing ovation was for her. Travis told her he was going to do that song later that night and that the song was far better suited for her vocals than his. Then, Travis extended an invitation for her to join the Opry (she said yes). The crowd went bonkers. She cried and hugged Travis. Arista released I Told You So at the beginning of 2009. Underwood would win another Grammy Award for Last Name. Travis met Underwood at her playground at Idol and performed I Told You So together. After their performance, Arista reserviced it as a duet. It climbed all the way to #2, first blocked by Jason Aldean's She's Country and then being shut out by It Happens by Sugarland (see chart below). It also peaked at #9 pop, becoming her third top ten and Travis' first. At the 2009 A.C.M.s, she won Female Vocalist and Entertainer of the Year Awards. CD #3, Play On started with a bang when it debuted at #1 on both country and top 200 charts when 318,000 copies were sold. The rocking Cowboy Casanova returned Underwood to the top for the eighth time in her career while reaching #11 pop. Her 2010 started with her winning a Grammy Award with Travis for I Told You So for Country Collaboration With Vocals. She became a repeat winner at the A.C.M.s for Entertainer of the Year, becoming the first woman to repeat as Entertainer. Temporary Home topped the chart (#41 pop) while Undo It did the same (#23 pop). Mama's Song was the fourth and final single. It peaked at #2 country and #56 pop in early 2011. The video naturally features her mother and Mike Fisher (married in 2010). 2011 saw Underwood chart on someone else's single for the first time as her duet with Brad Paisley, Remind Me (from his This Is Country Music CD) hit the top of the country chart while becoming a #17 pop hit. It should be noted that starting in 2008, Underwood and Paisley hosted the C.M.A. Awards. The fourth chapter in Underwood's career (in 2012) is called Blown Away. It was another double #1 CD for her after 267,000 copies were sold. Good Girl was the first single and it hit #1 country and #18 pop. The title track peaked at #1 country and #20 pop. 2013 saw Underwood pick up another Grammy Award for Blown Away. She also collected a pair of #2 hits in Two Black Cadillacs (#41 pop) and See You Again (#34 pop). She remained very quiet throughout the rest of 2013 into 2014 until Miranda Lambert released her duet with Underwood from the Platinum CD, Somethin' Bad (#7 country and #19 pop). With a wall of back to back hits for ten consecutive years (2005-2014), Arista released Greatest Hits: Decade #1 (#1 country and #4 top 200 CD with 94,000 copies sold). After eighteen consecutive top two hits, the string was broken when Something In The Water peaked at #3 country and #24 pop in early 2015. It won a Grammy Award, becoming Underwood's seventh win. She is currently on the chart with the second single, Little Toy Guns. This past February, she gave birth to her first child, Isaiah Michael Fisher. This is what the chart looked like back then:
BILLBOARD TOP TEN FOR WEEK ENDING MAY 16, 2009: 1. She's Country-Jason Aldean-Broken Bow 2. I TOLD YOU SO-CARRIE UNDERWOOD AND RANDY TRAVIS-ARISTA 3. It Happens-Sugarland-Mercury 4.

It was based on Mainstream Top 40 ariplay and physical & digital song sales. I'm well aware. The statistics buffalocountry used in that post were from the Hot 100. Not the Pop 100.

It ended up debuting at #1 on the pop chart
#20 pop #49 pop #8 pop#37 pop #17 pop #27 pop #19 pop #29 pop #9 pop #11 pop #41 pop #23 pop #56 pop #17 pop #18 pop #20 pop #41 pop #34 pop #19 pop #24 pop The Hot 100. is. not. just. Pop. music. It is accumulative of all genres. This. So much this. He's been informed of this so many times and continues to disregard the correction. Mess. The Hot 100. is. not. just. Pop. music. It is accumulative of all genres. The Pop 100 was a legitimate Billboard chart from 2005 to 2009. It was based on Mainstream Top 40 ariplay and physical & digital song sales. I still don't understand that chart, because plenty of country songs charted on it without having any Mainstream Top 40 airplay. At any rate, I'm glad they did away with it after only a few years as it seemed utterly pointless.

I'll guess the country titles were charting on sales when no points were coming from Mainstream Airplay.

1. FARR'S BAR: Well, after seeing his previous two singles hit #3, Tyler Farr collects his first #1 this week with A Guy Walks Into A Bar. It is the lead single from his recent #2 CD, Suffer In Peace. It is his fourth single overall following: 1. Hello Goodbye-2012-#47 2. Redneck Crazy-2013-#3 3. Whiskey In My Water-2014-#3 Furthermore, Farr becomes the second artist in Billboard 2015 (since December, 2014) to collect their first #1. Maddie & Tae did it in December with Girl In A Country Song. 2. AEROSMITH COUNTRY: Steven Tyler, the lead singer of Aerosmith makes his debut this week at #33 with Love Is Your Name, the ONLY debut on the chart. This is the third time he is influencing country music. Garth Brooks took an Aerosmith song, The Fever to #23 in 1995. Aerosmith recorded a song for the Armegeddon soundtrack called I Don't Want To Miss A Thing. It was a #1 pop and #13 adult contemporary hit in 1998. Shortly after that, Mark Chesnutt recorded his version that went to #1 country and #17 pop in 1999. 3. Z.B.B. FAST: The Zac Brown Band have the fastest climbing song of the week as Loving You Easy eases up seven to #21. 4. HALFWAY THERE: Billboard 2015 is halfway over. Let us review those songs that hit #1 during the first six months of the chart year: 1. Somewhere In My Car-Keith Urban-2 weeks 2. Girl In A Country Song-Maddie & Tae-1 3. Shotgun Rider-Tim McGraw-3 4. Perfect Storm-Brad Paisley-2 5. Til It's Gone-Kenny Chesney-1 6. Talladega-Eric Church-1 7. I See You-Luke Bryan-2 8. Sun Daze-Florida Georgia Line-1 9. Make Me Wanna-Thomas Rhett-1 10. Lonely Tonight-Blake Shelton-1 11. Just Gettin' Started-Jason Aldean-1 12. Mean To Me-Brett Eldredge-1 13. Ain't Worth The Whiskey-Cole Swindell-1 14. Homegrown-Zac Brown Band-3 15. Take Your Time-Sam Hunt-1 16. Say You Do-Dierks Bentley-2 17. Raise 'Em Up-Keith Urban and Eric Church-1 18. A Guy Walks Into A Bar-Tyler Farr-1 so far 5. STAPLETON TRAVELS TO #2: Chris Stapleton debuts at #2 on the country albums chart with Traveller. 27,000 copies were sold last week. 6. #1 CDS: These were the top selling CDs in 2010, 2005, 2000, 1995, and 1990: 2010: Need You Now-Lady Antebellum-Capitol 2005: Delicious Surprise-Jo Dee Messina-Curb 2000: Fly-the Dixie Chicks-Monument 1995: John Michael Montgomery-John Michael Montgomery-Atlantic 1990: Killin' Time-Clint Black-RCA 7. MILESTONE TOP TEN CHART: You take two singer-songwriters hellbent on simplicity and throw some bluegrass into the mix and you get the O'Kanes. They released nine singles between 1986-1990 (seven of them charted). Their biggest, Can't Stop My Heart From Loving You was our top song 28 years ago this week. Prior to joining forces, Kieran Kane had a solo career with Elektra/Warner Bros.. He made his debut in 1981 with The Baby (#80). His first album was a self-titled one and it produced a quartet of top 40 hits. They are: 1. You're The Best-1981-#14-his biggest hit 2. It's Who You Love-1982-#16 3. I Feel It With You-1982-#26 4. I'll Be Your Man Around The House-1982-#26 Then, Warner Bros. just released singles in: Gonna Have A Party (1983-#45), It's You (1983-#30), and Dedicate (1984-#28-his last chart appearance as a solo artist). Jamie O'Hara moved to Nashville during the 1970s and started writing songs. His first success came when Ronnie McDowell recorded Older Women, which became McDowell's first #1 hit in 1981. O'Hara did not have any other songwriting successes until the Judds recorded Grandpa Tell Me 'Bout The Good Ol' Days. That went to #1 in 1986. The Judds were the first recipients of a song that O'Hara and Kane wrote called Bluegrass Blues. O'Hara and Kane decided to form a duo by combining their names and signed to Columbia Records in 1986. Their first CD (self-titled) was released in late 1986. The first single, Oh Darlin' was written by them and broke top ten at #10 just before the year ended. January, 1987 saw them release their second single, Can't Stop My Heart From Loving You. Four months later, they collected their ONLY #1 as artists. They managed to dethrone To Know Him Is To Love Him by the law firm of Parton/Harris/Ronstadt. Daddies Need To Grow Up To hit #9 during the summer while Just Lovin' You peaked at #5 in early 1988. Billboard named the O'Kanes Top New Country Artist for 1987 (besting Highway 101, K.T. Oslin, and Ricky Van Shelton). 1988 was their third and final year on the charts. Their second CD, Tired Of The Runnin' started with One True Love (#4) and their final top ten, Blue Love (#10). Their final chart appearance was Rocky Road (#71). Columbia released their last CD, Imagine That in 1990. Two singles were released, but did not chart (Why Should I and Diddy All Night Long). After that, the O'Kanes were no more. I find it ironic that the O'Kanes were popular for as long as other new duos of the late 1980s like Sweethearts of the Rodeo and Foster & Lloyd. O'Hara has released a trio of albums since the O'Kanes disappeared. They are: 1. Rise Above It-1994 2. Beautiful Obsession-2001 3. Dream Hymns-2012 Several singles have been released, but none charted. Kane recorded an album for Atlantic called Find My Way Home (1993). He founded Dead Reckoning Records with other singer-songwriters and has released the following albums: 1. Dead Reckoning-1995 2. Six Months, No Sun-1998 3. 11-12-13: Live From Melbourne, Australia-2000 4. The Blue Chair-2000 5. Shadows On The Ground-2002 6. You Can't Save Everybody-2004 7. Lost John Dean-2006 8. Kane Welch Kaplin-2007 9. Somewhere Beyond The Roses-2009 Like O'Hara, Kane released singles, but did not chart with them. The O'Kanes had some memorable moments during the late 1980s. Too bad it did not last very long. This is what the chart looked like back then:
BILLBOARD TOP TEN FOR WEEK ENDING MAY 23, 1987: 1. CAN'T STOP MY HEART FROM LOVING YOU-THE O'KANES-COLUMBIA 2. It Takes A Little Rain To Make Love Grow-Oak Ridge Boys-MCA 3. Julia-Conway Twitty-MCA 4. I Will Be There-Dan Seals-EMI America 5. Domestic Life-John Conlee-Columbia 6. Too Many Rivers-Forester Sisters-Warner Bros. 7. Baby's Got A Hold On Me-Nitty Gritty Dirt Band-Warner Bros. 8. Til I'm Too Old To Die Young-Moe Bandy-MCA 9. You're My First Lady-T.G. Sheppard-Columbia 10. Hard Livin'-Keith Whitley-RCA

This is also Black River's first top ten hit as a label. The label is owned by Terry and Kim Pegula, the owners of the Buffalo Sabres and Bills.

KICKIN' HIGH: Luke Bryan blasts is way on the chart with the lead single to his upcoming CD, Kill The Lights. Kick The Dust Up is the Hot Shot Debut at #19. He has another entry, Games (at #21) peaked at #20 last week. 4. 21 IS #32: Hunter Hayes has the second highest debut at #32 with 21. That is from an upcoming CD.

Season 3, Volume 2-2015-#3 7. HARRIS/CROWELL: Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell debut their second duets CD, The Traveling Kind at #8 after 7000 copies were sold. Their first, Old Yellow Moon peaked at #4 in 2013. 8. A 90S LOOK: These were the chart topping hits during the last week of May during the 1990s: 1990: I've Cried My Last Tear For You-Ricky Van Shelton-Columbia 1991: Meet In The Middle-Diamond Rio-Arista 1992: Achy Breaky Heart-Billy Ray Cyrus-Mercury 1993: I Love The Way You Love Me-John Michael Montgomery-Atlantic 1994: Don't Take The Girl-Tim McGraw-Curb 1995: Summer's Comin'-Clint Black-RCA 1996: My Maria-Brooks & Dunn-Arista 1997: Sittin' On Go-Bryan White-Asylum 1998: This Kiss-Faith Hill-Warner Bros. 1999: Please Remember Me-Tim McGraw-Curb 9. MILESTONE TOP TEN CHART: Johnny Cash has fourteen #1 hits. The first thirteen are solo chart toppers. The last of those, One Piece At A Time was our top song 39 years ago this week. Cash hadn't had a chart topping hit since 1971's Flesh And Blood. In the interim, he managed to have major hits in: 1. Man In Black-1971-#3 2. Singing In Viet Nam Talking Blues-1971-#18 3. No Need To Worry-with June Carter Cash-1971-#15 4. Papa Was A Good Man-1971-#16 5. A Thing Called Love-1972-#2 6. Kate-1972-#2 7. Oney-1972-#2 8. Any Old Wind That Blows-1973-#3 9. Lady Came From Baltimore-1975-#14 10. Look At Them Beans-1975-#17 One Piece At A Time was written by Wayne Kemp. Kemp wrote the song as a novelty one where the main character works at General Motors. While working, the main character envisions himself owning a Cadillac, but because he doesn't make enough to buy one, he steals one. He decides to take one 'one piece at a time'. Smaller parts of the car are taken home in his lunchbox. He enlists a coworker to take larger parts in his motor home. That took quite a few years to do. It should be noted that Cash speaks the words of the verses while he actually sings the chorus. However, something is amiss as they get the complete car home and start assembling it (after all, different models of Cadillacs were produced in the ensuing years of the 'take home' car). He discovers he has three headlights with two on the left and one on the right. When he connects them, he is surprised ALL three come on. Another instance is when the transmission is from 1953 and the engine is from 1973. The car only has one tail fin. When the car is completed, his wife wants a ride in it. He honors her request as they take it to town to have it registered. The title to the vehicle according to the song weighed '60 pounds' and it took the 'whole staff' to type it. He returns home and as he does, a truck driver inquires about the 'psychobilly Cadillac' (first time 'psychobilly' was used-probably the basis of Big & Rich's music). In any case, the main character said 'he picked it up at the factory because it was cheaper that way'. Cash ends the song by 'rapping' the years of the vehicle. The first set of years are from 1949 to 1959 and the second set is from 1960 to 1970. One Piece At A Time (the title track) was released in March, 1976. In May, Cash reeled in his lucky 13th chart topping hit. It also became his last crossover hit, peaking at #29 pop and #6 adult contemporary. Second and final single, Sold Out Of Flagpoles peaked at #29 country only. Cash nearly topped the chart two more times throughout the rest of the 1970s (his only other top tens that stopped at #2). They are: 1. There Ain't No Good Chain Gang-with Waylon Jennings-1978 2. Ghost Riders In The Sky-1979 He connected with the top ten in 1981 with The Baron (#10). Chart topper #14 came with his buddies Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson with Highwayman (1985). That made Cash the second artist after George Jones to have #1 hits in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. In 1980, Cash was inducted to the Country Music Hall of Fame while he was inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992. His last chart appearance came in 2003 with his version of the Nine Inch Nails hit, Hurt (#56). He died that year in September at the age of 71. His last CD was released last year called Out Among The Stars, a CD he recorded during the early 1980s, but Columbia shelved it. It ended up debuting at #1 on the country albums chart. Kemp, the songwriter died this year in March. He was three months shy of 74. This is what the chart looked like back then:
BILLBOARD TOP TEN FOR WEEK ENDING MAY 29, 1976: 1. ONE PIECE AT A TIME-JOHNNY CASH-COLUMBIA 2. I'll Get Over You-Crystal Gayle-United Artists 3. After All The Good Is Gone-Conway Twitty-MCA 4. You've Got Me To Hold On To-Tanya Tucker-MCA 5. Don't Pull Your Love/Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye-Glen Campbell-Capitol 6. What Goes On When The Sun Goes Down-Ronnie Milsap-RCA 7. Hurt/For The Heart-Elvis Presley-RCA 8. Walk Softly-Billy Crash Craddock-ABC/Dot 9. I.O.U.-Jimmy Dean-Casino 10. El Paso City-Marty Robbins-Columbia

1. WHERE THERE'S SMOKE, A #1: A Thousand Horses collect their first #1 with their first single, Smoke. This is from their debut CD called Southernality. They become the first act this year to take a debut single to the top. They are the first since Maddie & Tae to take their first single to #1. Maddie & Tae did it in December, 2014 with Girl In A Country Song. Both acts record for the Big Machine family of labels as A Thousand Horses are on Republic Nashville while Maddie & Tae are on Dot Records. 2. TOP TWOS INTACT: Florida Georgia Line eases up one to #2 with Sippin' On Fire. Out of their eight singles, all of them managed to reach the top two. They are: 1. Cruise-2012-#1 2. Get Your Shine On-2013-#1 3. 'Round Here-2013-#1 4. Stay-2014-#1-chart wise, their biggest hit 5. This Is How We Roll-with Luke Bryan-2014-#2 6. Dirt-2014-#1 7. Sun Daze-2015-#1 8. Sippin' On Fire-2015-#2 so far 3. A REAL DEBUT: Jake Owen scores his highest start at #29 with Real Life. This is from an upcoming CD. His last, Days Of Gold produced three major hits. They are: 1. Days Of Gold-2013-#15 2. Beachin'-2014-#1 3. What We Ain't Got-2015-#14 4. SWINDELL FAST: Let Me See Ya Girl by Cole Swindell is the week's fastest climbing song. It jumps seven to #32. 5. OOPS!: Hunter Hayes drops eighteen spots to #50 with 21. 6. GILBERT'S BACK: Brantley Gilbert zooms from #22 to #1 on the country albums chart as a deluxe version of Just As I Am claims a fifth week at the top. 28,000 copies were sold last week. His CD ruled for two weeks in June and two weeks in August of last year. 7. THE FIRST IS THE SECOND: While Kelsea Ballerini scores Black River's first top ten hit in Love Me Like You Mean It, she scores the second top ten CD for the label. The First Time debuts at #4 after 13,000 copies were sold. It is Black River's second top ten CD following Craig Morgan's This Ole Boy from 2012 (#5). 8. A 90S LOOK PART II: These were the top selling CDs during the first week of June during the 1990s: 1990: Killin' Time-Clint Black-RCA 1991: No Fences-Garth Brooks-Capitol 1992: Some Gave All-Billy Ray Cyrus-Mercury 1993: Tell Me Why-Wynonna Judd-MCA 1994: Not A Moment Too Soon-Tim McGraw-Curb 1995: John Michael Montgomery-John Michael Montgomery-Atlantic 1996: Borderline-Brooks & Dunn-Arista 1997: Carrying Your Love With Me-George Strait-MCA 1998: The Limited Series-Garth Brooks-Capitol 1999: Come On Over-Shania Twain-Mercury 9. MILESTONE TOP TEN CHART: Jo Dee Messina signed to Curb Records in 1995. Eight years later, she released her first greatest hits CD. It was our top seller twelve years ago this week. Curb collected hits from Messina's first three studio CDs. They are: 1. Jo Dee Messina-1996 2. I'm Alright-1998 3. Burn-2000 The track listing of the CD is as follows: 1. Was That My Life-2003-#21 2. I'm Alright-1998-#1 3. Heads Carolina, Tails California-1996-#2 4. Bye, Bye-1998-#1 5. Stand Beside Me-1999-#1 6. Bring On The Rain-2002-#1 7. Lesson In Leavin'-1999-#2-her biggest #2 hit 8. That's The Way-2000-#1-chart wise, her biggest hit 9. Burn-2001-#2 10. Downtime-2001-#5 11. Because You Love Me-2000-#8 12. You're Not In Kansas Anymore-1996-#7 13. Wishing Well 14. You Belong In The Sun 15. I Wish-2003-#15 Two out of the four new songs became top 40 hits. Was That My Life was released in January, 2003. It peaked at #21, just two spots higher than Dare To Dream (2002 off Burn) which is strangely absent on the greatest hits CD. I Wish (not to be confused with the Rascal Flatts hit of 2006 as My Wish) was released in July and peaked at #15 country and #75 pop. After the moderate success of those singles, Greatest Hits is certified at the gold level. Messina's next CD was not released until 2005. Titled Delicious Surprise, the lead single, My Give A Damn's Busted became her sixth and final chart topping hit (also becoming her final pop chart appearance at #63). The title track peaked at #23. Not Going Down did go down in peak position #28 while 2006 was kicked off by the #33 peaking It's Too Late To Worry. It should be noted that like Tim McGraw, Messina was having problems with Curb Records in regards to releasing CDs (unlike McGraw's case of having too many greatest hits CDs out there). A trio of Unmistakable titles were released. Only Love was released as a CD in 2010. The others, Drive and Inspiration were music downloads. Only the Drive CD managed a chart single in Biker Chick (#48 in 2007). Her last chart appearance came in 2008 with the prophetically titled I'm Done (#34). Four years later Messina parted ways with Curb after seventeen years at the label. In 2013, she signed to Dreambound Records which released her Me CD in 2014. A trio of singles were released (Peace Sign, A Woman's Rant, and He's Messed Up) but none charted. Knowing Curb, I'm expecting more compilations on Messina. This is what the chart looked like back then:
BILLBOARD TOP TEN FOR WEEK ENDING JUNE 7, 2003: 1. GREATEST HITS-JO DEE MESSINA-CURB 2. Unleashed-Toby Keith-DreamWorks 3. Have You Forgotten-Darryl Worley-DreamWorks 4. Up!-Shania Twain-Mercury 5. Home-the Dixie Chicks-Monument 6. No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems-Kenny Chesney-BNA 7. Greatest Hits-Martina McBride-RCA 8. Melt-Rascal Flatts-Lyric Street 9. Tim McGraw And The Dancehall Doctors-Tim McGraw-Curb 10. American IV: The Man Comes Around-Johnny Cash-American Recordings

3rd straight mediocre single from Aldean will probably be his 5th straight #1 soon. Meh.

1. ON FIRE AND #1: Florida Georgia Line collect their seventh #1 hit with Sippin' On Fire. It is the third chart topping hit from their current CD, Anything Goes. It follows Dirt from 2014 and Sun Daze from 2015. 2. CHILD GREATER THAN TEQUILA: Going up two to #2 is Kenny Chesney's and Grace Potter's Wild Child. This is their second charted single following the #3 peaking You And Tequila from 2011. 3. A TIE: We have two songs taking five point jumps for fastest climbers of the week. They are: 1. Long Stretch Of Love-Lady Antebellum-#38 to #33 2. 21-Hunter Hayes-#50 to #45 4. AN OUTLAW DEBUT: The Lacs debut at #3 on the country albums chart with Outlaw In Me. 14,000 copies were sold last week. This is their fifth CD to chart following: 1.

MILESTONE TOP TEN CHART: Two great chart topping streaks began in 1980. The first belongs to Ronnie Milsap when Why Don't You Spend The Night became the first of ten consecutive chart topping #1s in March. That ended in 1983 with the double-sided Inside/Carolina Dreams. Alabama began their chart topping spree in August with Tennessee River. Twenty more #1s followed until 1987's You've Got The Touch. Milsap's streak was snapped 32 years ago this week with the #5 peaking Stranger In My House. Milsap kicked off the 1980s with the Milsap Magic album. The first single, Why Don't You Spend The Night was released in January and became his lucky thirteenth chart topper in March. The second and final single, My Heart/Silent Night After The Fight became his biggest country hit, staying at #1 for three weeks in May and June. His contribution to the Bronco Billy soundtrack, Cowboys And Clowns/Misery Loves Company hit the top in August just five weeks after Merle Haggard and Clint Eastwood claimed a #1 off the soundtrack with Bar Room Buddies. After seven years at RCA, Milsap released his first greatest hits album. A new song, Smoky Mountain Rain became his FOURTH #1 of the year while claiming a #24 peak on the pop chart and even topping the adult contemporary chart. In December, Billboard gave Milsap the Top Country Singles Artist award and named My Heart the biggest hit of the year (so did the American Country Countdown). 1981 saw Milsap pay tribute to Jim Reeves with the Out Where The Bright Lights Are Glowing album. A lone single was released in Am I Losing You. It became his fifth consecutive #1 hit in May. That was originally a #3 hit for Reeves in 1957 and a new version surfaced in 1960, peaking at #8. Milsap did a complete 180 by releasing a very poppy album called There's No Gettin' Over Me. The title track peaked at #1 country for two weeks, #5 pop for five weeks, and #2 A.C. for four weeks becoming his biggest crossover hit. I Wouldn't Have Missed It For The World started his 1982 on a #1 country note while reaching #20 pop and #3 A.C.. He released the Inside Ronnie Milsap album in 1982. Any Day Now was the lead single and it hit #1 country, #14 pop, and #1 A.C.. He Got You also hit #1 country while faltering at #59 pop and also peaking at #15 A.C.. Billboard named Any Day Now the biggest A.C. hit of the year. Third and final single, Inside/Carolina Dreams became his tenth consecutive #1 in February, 1983. It was his 22nd chart topping hit overall. It also peaked at #27 A.C.. The 1983 album, Keyed Up started with Stranger In My House. The song was written by Mike Reid who started supplying Milsap songs (like Inside). The single was released in April and got as high as #5 on the country chart. Some stations refused to play it because of the guitar solo (too rock for some). It also became a crossover hit, peaking at #23 pop and #8 A.C.. It broke Milsap's string of ten consecutive chart toppers (Alabama would claim their tenth consecutive #1 five weeks later with The Closer You Get). The album's other singles became chart toppers for Milsap. They are: Don't You Know How Much I Love You (1983-also #58 pop and his last pop chart appearance and #12 A.C.) and Show Her (1984-also #17 A.C.). Stranger In My House won Best Country Song at the Grammys. One More Try For Love filled out Milsap's 1984 with Still Losing You (#1 country and #29 A.C.) and Prisoner Of The Highway (#6 country). His second longest streak of chart topping hits was next and it was spread across three CDs: Greatest Hits, Volume 2 (the second album where you will find Stranger In My House), Lost In The Fifties Tonight, and Heart & Soul. Those were: 1. She Keeps The Home Fires Burning-1985 2. Lost In The Fifties Tonight In The Still Of The Night-1985-also #8 A.C. and the biggest hit of the year according to the American Country Countdown and Billboard 3. Happy, Happy Birthday Baby-1986 4. In Love-1986 5. How Do I Turn You On-1987 6. Snap Your Fingers-1987 7. Make No Mistake, She's Mine-with Kenny Rogers-1987-also #42 A.C. 8. Where Do The Nights Go-1988 That streak was broken by the #2 peaking duet with Reid called Old Folks (written by Reid and blocked from the top by Kathy Mattea's Eighteen Wheels And A Dozen Roses-chart wise, her biggest hit). Milsap's last #1 was A Woman In Love in 1989 and his 35th overall. His last chart appearance was 2006's Local Girls (#54). 2014 was a very good year for Milsap. He was inducted to the Country Music Hall of Fame and RCA released a box set of all of his studio albums with them. This is what the chart looked like back then:

1. CHESNEY'S CHILD IS #1: Kenny Chesney collects the 25th #1 in his career with Wild Child. It is from his current CD, The Big Revival which has spawned two other #1 hits: American Kids (2014) and Til It's Gone (2015). The last time Chesney had a trio of consecutive #1s happened with the Hemingway's Whiskey CD: The Boys Of Fall (2010), Somewhere With You (2011), and Live A Little (2011). That was broken by the #3 peaking You And Tequila. That featured the backup vocals of Grace Potter. She backs up Chesney on Wild Child, making it her first #1 as a back up artist. 2.

That album produced the #1 title track and Reasons To Quit (#6). It is the 16th #1 album for Haggard and the 17th for Nelson. Here is a list of BOTH artist's chart topping albums: Haggard: 1.

MILESTONE TOP TEN CHART: Last week, we discussed Ronnie Milsap's chart topping streak during the 1980s. He had ten consecutive #1s between 1980-1983. It was broken by the #5 peaking Stranger In My House. Now, we will be talking about TWO chart topping streaks that ended simultaneously. The first belongs to Eddie Rabbitt who saw his five in a row snapped by the #2 peaking I Don't Know Where To Start. Mickey Gilley has the second when his six consecutive #1 streak came to an end with the #3 hit, Tears Of The Lonely. Both happened 33 years ago this week. After scoring his biggest country hit with Every Which Way But Loose (#30 pop and #26 adult contemporary), Rabbitt released his Loveline album in 1979. Lead single, Suspicions became his fifth #1 country hit while hitting #13 pop and #9 A.C.. Pour Me Another Tequila kicked off his 1980 on a #5 country note. Third and final single, Gone Too Far hit #1 country, #82 pop, and #35 A.C.. It started his longest chart topping streak. The Horizon album really made Rabbitt a crossover star. Drivin' My Life Away was the first single and the song was used in the movie Roadie. The song became Rabbitt's first top five single to hit three charts: #1 country, #5 pop, and #3 A.C.. I Love A Rainy Night hit #1 on all three charts in early 1981. The Step By Step album was next and the title track hit #1 on the country chart while peaking at #5 pop and #3 A.C.. That song made Rabbitt the ONLY country artist to score three consecutive top five pop hits (take that, Kenny Rogers). Someone Could Lose A Heart Tonight hit #1 country, #15 pop, and #10 A.C. in 1982. I Don't Know Where To Start was released in March and climbed all the way to #2, first blocked by the Bellamy Brothers' For All The Wrong Reasons and stayed there for the two weeks Slow Hand was tops by Conway Twitty (come on, Bellamys and Twitty, let your labelmate have a turn at the top). It also crossed over to #35 pop and #9 A.C.. After Rabbitt's five in a row was stopped by a #2 peaker, he had two #1 country hits off the Radio Romance album of 1982: You And I was a duet with his new labelmate, Crystal Gayle. It peaked at #7 pop and #2 A.C.. That was #1 in December while she issued her debut for the label, 'Til I Gain Control Again (#1 in 1983). You Can't Run From Love hit the top of the country chart in 1983 while peaking at #55 pop and #2 A.C.. Rabbitt would top the country chart five more times: 1. The Best Year Of My Life-1985 2. Both To Each Other Friends & Lovers-with Juice Newton-1986 3. I Wanna Dance With You-1988 4. The Wanderer-1988 5. On Second Thought-1990 His last chart appearance came in 1991 with Hang Up The Phone (#50). He died in 1998 at the age of 56. His last CD was released in 2009 called Number One Hits. Now, let us discuss Gilley's chart streak of #1 hits. Gilley ended his 1970s with a self-titled album. The first single, My Silver Lining hit #8 while 1980 was started with A Little Gettin' Used To (#17). Gilley decided to switch producers, so he chose Jim Ed Norman. Their first single together was True Love Ways, a song first recorded by Buddy Holly just before his death in 1959. Gilley's version topped the country chart while claiming a #66 peak on the pop chart. It was Gilley's eighth #1 and first since 1977's She's Pulling Me Back Again. Gilley did not have to wait long for his next #1 hit. Three weeks later, he reeled in his ninth chart topper. It was off the Urban Cowboy soundtrack and it was another cover: Stand By Me. It was originally a #4 pop and #1 r&b hit for Ben E. King in 1961. This time, it was a #1 country, #22 pop, and #3 A.C. hit for Gilley, making it his biggest crossover hit. That's All That Matters, the title track to his 1980 album topped the country chart just before the year ended. A Headache Tomorrow Or A Heartache Tonight was the final single. It topped the chart in 1981. The You Don't Know Me album started with the title track. It was originally a #10 hit for Eddy Arnold in 1956. Jerry Vale took his version to #14 pop in 1956. Ray Charles had a huge hit with it in 1962: #2 pop, #5 r&b, and #1 A.C.. Gilley's version topped the country chart and it also hit #55 pop and #12 A.C.. Lonely Nights kicked off his 1982 on a #1 country note (Someone Could Lose A Heart Tonight followed it to the top). Tears Of The Lonely was the third and final single. It was released in March and topped off at #3 the same week I Don't Know Where To Start hit #2. Gilley's longest streak of #1s came to an end at six. Gilley would start a new streak of #1 hits between 1982-1983 across three albums: Put Your Dreams Away, Fool For Your Love, and Paradise. They are: 1. Put Your Dreams Away-1982 2. Talk To Me-1983 3. Fool For Your Love-1983 4. Paradise Tonight-with Charly McClain-1983 The closest he came to topping the chart again was in 1984 with You've Really Got A Hold On Me (#2). His last chart appearance was in 1989 with There I've Said It Again (#53), a #1 pop hit for Bobby Vinton in 1964. His last CD was released in 2003 called Invitation Only. This is what the chart looked like back then: BILLBOARD TOP TEN FOR WEEK ENDING JUNE 19, 1982: 1. Slow Hand-Conway Twitty-Elektra 2. I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START-EDDIE RABBITT-ELEKTRA 3. TEARS OF THE LONELY-MICKEY GILLEY-EPIC 4. Any Day Now-Ronnie Milsap-RCA 5. Listen To The Radio-Don Williams-MCA 6. Ring On Her Finger, Time On Her Hands-Lee Greenwood-MCA 7.

Country Airplay *** No. 1 (1 week)***/Greatest Gainer "Love Me Like You Mean It" Kelsea Ballerini Kelsea Ballerini scores the first debut No. 1 by a woman on Billboard's Country Airplay chart in more than nine years, as "Love Me Like You Mean It" rises 2-1. The song marks the first career-opening Country Airplay No. 1 by a female artist since Carrie Underwood arrived with her first single officially promoted to country radio, "Jesus, Take the Wheel," which began a six-week reign on the chart dated Jan. 21, 2006. (Underwood had first charted two non-promoted entries that failed to rise higher than the Country Airplay chart's top 50 in the wake of her winning the 2005 season of Fox's American Idol.) Debut No. 55 "Smokin' And Drinkin' " Miranda Lambert Featuring Little Big Town Debut No. 59 "Save It For A Rainy Day" Kenny Chesney

MILESTONE TOP TEN CHART: Kenny Chesney is currently celebrating his 25th #1 hit, Wild Child. That is the third release (and third #1) from his current CD, The Big Revival. Six years ago this week, he was tops for the seventeenth time in his career with Out Last Night, a single from his Greatest Hits II CD. The track listing of Greatest Hits II is as follows: 1. Out Last Night-2009-#1 2. Living In Fast Forward-2006-#1 3. Young-2002-#2 4. Summertime-2006-#1 5. Down The Road-with Mac McAnally-2009-#1 6. Beer In Mexico-2007-#1 7. There Goes My Life-2003-#1 8.

Ain't Back Yet-2010-#3 The first single, Out Last Night was released in April and climbed all the way to the top, becoming his 17th chart topping hit. I'm Alive, his duet with Dave Matthews stopped at #6 during the fall. Chesney kicked off his 2010 by rereleasing the CD with bonus tracks (songs #16 and #17). Ain't Back Yet was released and it peaked at #3. This Is Our Moment was not officially a released as a single, but made a chart appearance and rested at #46 during its peak. The CD is certified platinum. Chesney followed up that CD with Hemingway's Whiskey. It started with the football themed The Boys Of Fall which became his 18th #1 during the fall of 2010. Somewhere With You kicked off his 2011 on a chart topping note while Live A Little did the same later on. Chesney turned to two females for his next hit, You And Tequila. Deana Carter, from Strawberry Wine fame in 1996 wrote it while Grace Potter did backup vocals. It peaked at #3. The fifth and final single, Reality topped the chart in 2012. In the meantime, Hemingway's Whiskey became his first CD to contain a quartet of chart topping hits. His next CD, Welcome To The Fishbowl had Chesney singing with his good friend Tim McGraw on the lead single, Feel Like A Rock Star. Despite debuting at #13, it only managed to reach #11 becoming Chesney's first miss of the top ten since The Tin Man peaked at #19 in 2001. Right after that, Chesney's label BNA vanished and Columbia took its place (both Sony labels). That single came at a pivotal time for McGraw as he ended his twenty year association with Curb Records and signed to the Big Machine label. Come Over saw Chesney top the chart while El Cerrito Place peaked at #10 in 2013. That features Potter on backup vocals. His 2013 CD, Life On A Rock only saw two singles during the year: Pirate Flag (#3) and When I See This Bar (#14). The Big Revival, his current CD has seen Chesney come back in a big way. Three singles have been released and three #1s have been produced. They are: 1. American Kids-2014 2. Til It's Gone-2015 3. Wild Child-2015-Potter comes back to do background vocals A fourth single has just been released in Save It For A Rainy Day. Will The Big Revival follow in Hemingway's Whiskey's footsteps and yield four chart toppers? Stay tuned! This is what the chart looked like back then:
BILLBOARD TOP TEN FOR WEEK ENDING JUNE 27, 2009: 1. OUT LAST NIGHT-KENNY CHESNEY-BNA 2. Then-Brad Paisley-Arista 3. Sideways-Dierks Bentley-Capitol 4. Kiss A Girl-Keith Urban-Capitol 5. Whatever It Is-Zac Brown Band-Atlantic 6. I Run To You-Lady Antebellum-Capitol 7. People Are Crazy-Billy Currington-Mercury 8. You Belong With Me-Taylor Swift-Big Machine 9. Alright-Darius Rucker-Capitol 10. Lost You Anyway-Toby Keith-Show Dog/Universal

We all know that Alabama has the record for consecutive #1's, and Sonny James has that same record for solo males (although Blake is right on his heels). I would like to know what solo female and which duo has the record for consecutive chart-toppers.

1. 20 AND 15: Blake Shelton collects his twentieth chart topping hit this week with Sangria. It is his fifteenth consecutive #1 hit as well. It is the third single and third chart topper off his current CD, Bringing Back The Sunshine. In the meantime, let us list his #1s and weeks at the top: 1. Austin-2001-5-chart wise, his biggest hit 2. The Baby-2003-3 3. Some Beach-2004-4 4. Home-2008-2 5. She Wouldn't Be Gone-2009-2 6. Hillbilly Bone-with Trace Adkins-2010-1 7. All About Tonight-2010-3 8. Who Are You When I'm Not Looking-2011-1 9. Honey Bee-2011-4 10. God Gave Me You-2011-3 11. Drink On It-2012-2 12. Over-2012-2 13. Sure Be Cool If You Did-2013-2 14. Boys 'Round Here-2013-1 15. Mine Would Be You-2013-3 16. Doin' What She Likes-2014-2 17. My Eyes-2014-1 18. Neon Light-2014-1 19. Lonely Tonight-2015-1 20. Sangria-2015-1 so far Shelton has now spent 44 weeks at #1. 2. BACK IN THE TOP TWO: After seeing her top two streak snapped by the #3 peaking Something In The Water, Carrie Underwood is at #2 with the second Greatest Hits: Decade #1 single, Little Toy Guns. Underwood scored eighteen consecutive top two hits from 2006's Jesus, Take The Wheel (#1) to 2013's See You Again (#2). 3. SAVE IT FAST: Kenny Chesney has the fastest climbing song of the week with Save It For A Rainy Day. It climbs eighteen to #41. 4. SOUNDS LIKE JONES: The Cadillac Three make their third chart appearance with White Lightning at #55. The title is reminiscent of George Jones' first #1 from 1959. 5. 70 HITS: Over on the country albums chart, a pair of 35 Biggest Hits CDs debut. One by Tim McGraw at #8 after 8000 were sold and another by Hank Williams, Jr. at #16 after 4000 were sold. 6. AN 80S LOOK PART II: These were the top selling albums during the first week of July during the 1980s: 1980: Gideon-Kenny Rogers-United Artists 1981: Feels So Right-Alabama-RCA 1982: Mountain Music-Alabama-RCA 1983: Pancho & Lefty-Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson-Epic 1984: Roll On-Alabama-RCA 1985: Five-O-Hank Williams, Jr.-Warner Bros. 1986: Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc.-Dwight Yoakam-Reprise 1987: Always & Forever-Randy Travis-Warner Bros. 1988: Reba-Reba McEntire-MCA 1989: Sweet Sixteen-Reba McEntire-MCA 7. MILESTONE TOP TEN CHART: I know I can say the following: I was country when country WASN'T cool and I am country when country IS cool. I know one artist that said that in a big way in 1981: Barbara Mandrell. She topped the chart 34 years ago this week with I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool. George Jones came along for the ride. The track listing for Barbara Mandrell Live is as follows: 1. Sleeping Single In A Double Bed 2. Unsung Heroes 3. She's Out There Dancin' Alone 4. Doin' It Right 5. Medley: Years/Love Is Fair 6. Hey Good Lookin' 7. Wish You Were Here-1981-#2 8. Instrumental Medley: Mountain Dew/Fireball Mail/Old Joe Clark/Uncle Joe's Boogie 9. In My Heart 10. I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool-with George Jones-1981-#1 11. The Battle Hymn Of The Republic 12. Country Girl However, I Was Country was recorded in March, 1981. It was written by the hottest songwriting duo at the time, Kye Fleming and Dennis Morgan. They wrote the following lyric: 'I remember circlin' the drive-in, pullin' up and turnin' down George Jones'. Tom Collins, Mandrell's producer at the time decided to ask Jones to participate in the recording. He agreed and did his part in one take. Collins also used canned applause to make it a 'live recording'. Released as a single in April, it became Mandrell's fourth #1 hit in July. Jones, to this day remains uncredited for his contribution, yet it's undeniable. Because of that, I consider it his eleventh chart topping hit. Because of it, Jones landed #1s on five labels: Mercury, United Artists, Musicor, Epic, and MCA. As a matter of fact, I Was Country hit the top during the first anniversary of He Stopped Loving Her Today doing the same. In the interim, Jones scored a quartet of major hits. They are: 1. I'm Not Ready Yet-1980-#2 2. A Pair Of Old Sneakers-with Tammy Wynette-1980-#19 3. You Better Move On-with Johnny Paycheck-1981-#18 4. If Drinkin' Don't Kill Me Her Memory Will-1981-#8 During that same time, Mandrell scored a trio of top twenty hits. Those were: 1. Crackers-1980-#3 2. The Best Of Strangers-1980-#6 3. Love Is Fair/Sometime, Somewhere, Somehow-1981-#13 However, the album itself came from a performance Mandrell did at the Roy Acuff Theater at Opryland during the first week of June (while I Was Country was at #13 on the chart). A month later, Mandrell/Jones were at the top of the chart. Two months later, Barbara Mandrell Live was released. It hit #4 on the country albums chart and #86 on the top 200 chart. That became her highest placing on BOTH charts. The second single, Wish You Were Here was released and it proceeded to a #2 peak on the country chart (All My Rowdy Friends Have Settled Down by Hank Williams, Jr. was #1) and #40 on the adult contemporary chart. During its chart run, Mandrell made history at the C.M.A. Awards by becoming the first repeat winner of the Entertainer of the Year Award (while winning Female Vocalist for the second time-first was in 1979). Jones would win his second Male Vocalist Award as well. Three weeks after Wish You Were Here peaked, Jones grabbed a chart topping hit with Still Doin' Time. After the album ran its course, it became her third gold album following a pair of Best Of Barbara Mandrell discs (one from Columbia in 1977 and one from ABC in 1979). Mandrell would continue to chart for eight more years until Mirror, Mirror became her last chart appearance in 1989 (#49). Her last CD was released in 2000 called 20th Century Masters: The Millenium Collection. Jones' last chart appearance came in 2010 on the Aaron Lewis release, Country Boy (#50 with Charlie Daniels). His last CD was Amazing Grace in 2013. Both Jones (1992) and Mandrell (2009) have been inducted to the Country Music Hall of Fame. A tribute CD to Mandrell called She Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool was released in 2006. I Was Country was recorded by Reba McEntire and Kenny Chesney. Sadly, Jones passed away in 2013 at the age of 81. This is what the chart looked like back then:
BILLBOARD TOP TEN FOR WEEK ENDING JULY 4, 1981: 1. I WAS COUNTRY WHEN COUNTRY WASN'T COOL-BARBARA MANDRELL AND GEORGE JONES-MCA 2. Fire And Smoke-Earl Thomas Conley-Sunbird 3. Feels So Right-Alabama-RCA 4. Lovin' Her Was Easier Than Anything I'll Ever Do Again-Glaser Brothers-Elektra 5. Surround Me With Love-Charly McClain-Epic 6. By Now-Steve Wariner-RCA 7.
