Since the Radio And Records website was shut down recently, I will be posting a weekly Country ChartBeat for you. You can follow your favorites on the charts by reading the column.
1. OUT WITH CHESNEY: Kenny Chesney collects his 17th #1 hit with Out Last Night. It becomes his first solo #1 hit since Better As A Memory in 2008. He now has four consecutive #1 hits, his longest stretch. His last two #1s were duets: Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven with the Wailers (Bob Marley's band) in 2008 and Down The Road with Mac McAnally in 2009. He hit #2 last year with George Strait on Shiftwork. With Out Last Night becoming Chesney's 14th #1 hit this decade, he only trails Toby Keith's 15 chart toppers.
2. GEORGE'S TRIPLE CROWN: Living For The Night by Strait has been on the charts for three weeks now. It debuted at #34 and got the Most Added Award. It went up ten to get the Greatest Gainer Award. Now, it is at #20 and gets the Most Increased Audience Award.
3. THE STREAK: Sure, that is the title of one of Ray Stevens' most popular recordings, but if the following went to #1, they would have added to the chart topping streak the artists were currently enjoying:
1. Kiss A Girl-peaked at #3 for Keith Urban following the #1s: You Look Good In My Shirt, Start A Band with Brad Paisley, and Sweet Thing.
2. One In Every Crowd-peaked at #5 for Montgomery Gentry following the #1s: Back When I Knew It All and Roll With Me.
3. Sissy's Song-peaked at #9 for Alan Jackson following the #1s: Small Town Southern Man, Good Time, and Country Boy.
4. COUNTRY TIME: There are two singles in the top 50 that imply a quantity of time. They are:
1. 15 Minutes by Rodney Atkins-#34
2. Eight Second Ride by Jake Owen-#44
5. SUMMER #1S: These were the first singles to top the charts during the summers of 2004, 1999, 1994, 1989, and 1984:
2004: Redneck Woman-Gretchen Wilson-Epic
1999: Write This Down-George Strait-MCA
1994: Wink-Neal McCoy-Atlantic
1989: I Don't Want To Spoil The Party-Rosanne Cash-Columbia
1984: When We Make Love-Alabama-RCA
