I would guess that Luke did go recurrent, since his audience was very close to Kenny's... hmmm

Since there were four debuts and a possible re-entry for Zac Brown Band's "Different Kind Of Fine", my guess would be that Luke Bryan, Randy Montana, Darryl Worley, Gwyneth Paltrow and LoCash Cowboys all left.

1. THE 28TH WITH FOUR: The Zac Brown Band collects their fourth #1 in Free. It is from The Foundation CD which has spawned three other chart toppers. They are: 1. Chicken Fried-2008 2. Toes-2009 3.

The Foundation-Zac Brown Band-Atlantic Had Whatever It Is (#2 in 2009) hit #1, they would have joined Rodney Crowell's Diamonds & Dirt and the rerelease of Brad Paisley's 5th Gear CD to have five #1 hits. 2. ALL MINE: Taylor Swift blasts her way on the charts at #26 with Mine. She misses tying the mark of her highest debut by one. Love Story from 2008 started at #25. 3. FLATTS ON THE MOVE: This week's chart sees a lot of backward bullets. However, Rascal Flatts scores the fastest rising song of the week as Why Wait moves up seven to #27. 4. LET'S SWITCH: Jason Aldean's Crazy Town spent some time at #2 while Brad Paisley was at #1 with Water. This week Aldean is at #41 with My Kinda Party while Paisley is at #42 with Anything Like Me. 5. THE #1 HITS: These were the chart topping songs in 2005, 2000, 1995, 1990, and 1985: 2005: As Good As I Once Was-Toby Keith-Dreamworks 2000: What About Now-Lonestar-BNA 1995: I Didn't Know My Own Strength-Lorrie Morgan-BNA 1990: Good Times-Dan Seals-Capitol 1985: I'm For Love-Hank Williams, Jr.-Warner Bros. 6. THEIR TEN BIGGEST: It was August, 1980 and Alabama just scored their first #1 with Tennessee River. These are their ten biggest hits. First number-weeks at #1, second number-weeks in the top 40. 1.

MILESTONE TOP TEN CHART: After three years of churning out hits, Alan Jackson finally saw the top of the country albums chart in 1993 with A Lot About Livin' And A Little 'Bout Love (our #1 CD 17 years ago this week). Jackson represents the first wave of hit artists on Arista Records. The other acts include: Pam Tillis, Exile, Diamond Rio, and Brooks & Dunn. He also represents the Class of 1989. The others are: Clint Black, Garth Brooks, and Travis Tritt. However, his debut single was the least successful of the quartet. Blue Blooded Woman peaked at #45 in early 1990. Black placed #1 with A Better Man. Brooks peaked at #8 with Much Too Young To Feel This Damn Old. Tritt started with a #9 hit, Country Club. Jackson finally kicked it in higher gear when the title track of his debut CD, Here In The Real World became his first top ten (#3 in 1990). Three more top ten hits followed: 1. Wanted-1990-#3 2. Chasin' That Neon Rainbow-1990-#2 3. I'd Love You All Over Again-1991-#1 The CD peaked at #4 in 1991. It spent a little over four years on the charts. It is certified at two times platinum. CD #2, Don't Rock The Jukebox held bigger things for Jackson. It catapulted him to superstardom. It yielded the following hits: 1. Don't Rock The Jukebox-1991-#1 2. Someday-1991-#1 3. Dallas-1992-#1 4. Midnight In Montgomery-1992-#3 5. Love's Got A Hold On You-1992-#1 The only CD that sold better than Jukebox was Brooks' No Fences. It is certified at four times platinum. It spent almost four years on the charts. Jackson was set to release CD #3 during the fall of 1992. He was touring with Randy Travis at the time. They decided to write several songs. Two were hits on the Travis CD High Lonesome (Forever Together-1991-#1 and Better Class Of Losers-1992-#2). Jackson kept She's Got The Rhythm And I Got The Blues (#1 in 1992). Four more top tens followed: 1. Tonight I Climbed The Wall-1993-#4 2. Chattahoochee-1993-#1 3. Mercury Blues-1993-#2 4. Who Says You Can't Have It All-1994-#4 A Lot About Livin' And A Little 'Bout Love was #1 on the CD charts for five weeks. It spent three years on the charts and is certified at six times platinum. Since that time, eleven other Jackson CDs have topped the charts. They are: 1. Who I Am-1994 2. The Greatest Hits Collection-1995 3. Everything I Love-1996 4. High Mileage-1998 5. When Somebody Loves You-2000 6. Drive-2002 7. Greatest Hits Volume II And Some Other Stuff-2003 8. What I Do-2004 9. Precious Memories-2006 10. Like Red On A Rose-2006 11. Good Time-2008 Jackson released a CD this year called Freight Train. He said it would be his last for Arista Records. This is what the chart looked like back then:
BILLBOARD TOP TEN FOR WEEK ENDING AUGUST 14, 1993: 1. A LOT ABOUT LIVIN' AND A LITTLE 'BOUT LOVE-ALAN JACKSON-ARISTA 2. It Won't Be The Last-Billy Ray Cyrus-Mercury 3. No Time To Kill-Clint Black-RCA 4. Pure Country-Soundtrack-George Strait-MCA 5. Tell Me Why-Wynonna Judd-MCA 6. Life's A Dance-John Michael Montgomery-Atlantic 7. Some Gave All-Billy Ray Cyrus-Mercury 8. Hard Workin' Man-Brooks & Dunn-Arista 9. It's Your Call-Reba McEntire-MCA 10. This Time-Dwight Yoakam-Reprise

Black's firs two singles also wound up #1 & #2 for the year in 1989, which certainly contributed mightily to Clint winding up as the year's #1 new singles artist at Billboard, followed by Garth Brooks & Lorrie Morgan.

1. ALL ABOUT BLAKE: Blake Shelton lands the seventh #1 hit of his career with All About Tonight. It is the title track of his second sixpak CD. The title track of his first, Hillbilly Bone (with Trace Adkins) was #1 earlier this year. This also marks the second time Shelton has had consecutive #1 hits. He collected his fourth #1 in 2008 with Home, followed by his fifth #1 in She Wouldn't Be Gone in 2009. 2. A YEAR LONG HIT: Lee Brice is celebrating a year on the charts as Love Like Crazy is at #5 this week after 52 weeks on the charts. He debuted at #58 on the 09-05-09 chart. The #1 single at the time belonged to Jason Aldean (Big Green Tractor) and Reba McEntire entered the albums chart at #1 with Keep On Loving You. Brice becomes the third artist to spend at least 52 weeks on the charts. The others: 1. Eddy Arnold-Bouquet Of Roses-1948-54 weeks-#1 2. Bobby Helms-Fraulein-1957-52 weeks-#1 3. Lee Brice-Love Like Crazy-2010-52 weeks (so far)-#5 (so far) 3. FAST MOVERS: Two songs this week move up nine on the charts: Mine-Taylor Swift-#26 to #17 Why Wait-Rascal Flatts-#27 to #18 4. WHY WAIT?: The Zac Brown Band just finished a week at #1 with Free (#3 this week). They debut this week at #32 with As She's Walking Away with Alan Jackson. 5. THE #1 CDS: These were the top selling CDs in 2005, 2000, 1995, 1990, and 1985: 2005: Fireflies-Faith Hill-Warner Bros. 2000: Burn-Jo Dee Messina-Curb 1995: The Woman In Me-Shania Twain-Mercury 1990: Killin' Time-Clint Black-RCA 1985: Five-O-Hank Williams, Jr.-Warner Bros. 6. A KING SIZE RANKING: Elvis Presley not only left the building 33 years ago this week, but the planet as well. These are his biggest hits. Weeks at #1 or #2 are first while weeks in the top 40 are second. 1. Heartbreak Hotel-1956-17-27 2. Hound Dog-1956-10-28 3. Don't Be Cruel-1956-10-28 4. I Forgot To Remember To Forget-1956-5-39 5. I Want You, I Need You, I Love You-1956-2-20 6. Jailhouse Rock-1957-1-24 7. All Shook Up-1957-1-16 8. Let Me Be Your Teddy Bear-1957-1-16 9. Way Down-1977-1-12 10. Moody Blue-1977-1-10 11. Guitar Man-1981-1-08 12. Don't-1958-5-18 (#2) 13. Hard Headed Woman-1958-2-16 (#2) 14. My Way-1978-1-12 (#2) 7. THE YEAR'S BIGGEST: These are the ten biggest hits of 1994 according to the American Country Countdown: 1. I Swear-John Michael Montgomery-Atlantic 2. Wink-Neal McCoy-Atlantic 3. Livin' On Love-Alan Jackson-Arista 4. Wild One-Faith Hill-Warner Bros. 5. Shut Up And Kiss Me-Mary Chapin Carpenter-Columbia 6. Live Until I Die-Clay Walker-Giant 7. Third Rock From The Sun-Joe Diffie-Epic 8. Summertime Blues-Alan Jackson-Arista 9. XXX's And OOO's An American Girl-Trisha Yearwood-MCA 10. Dreaming With My Eyes Open-Clay Walker-Giant 8. MILESTONE TOP TEN CHART: Elvis Presley was called the King of Rock and Roll, but left his mark in country music as well. Presley had the #1 hit the week he died (Way Down in 1977). Since there is nothing I could possibly add to Presley's accomplishments, I will give you Elvis by the country numbers. 27: years of his top 40 country reign (between 1955-1982) 1st: artist to top country, pop, r&b, and A.C. charts 02: labels he was signed to (Sun and RCA) 66: top 40 country hits 40: major (top 20) hits 32: top ten hits 11: #1s 03: #2s 50: weeks at #1 08: weeks at #2 (for those hits that peaked at #2) #1: in a lot of people's hearts 75: his current age had he lived this year 1998: year he was inducted to the Country Music Hall of Fame This is what the chart looked like back then:
BILLBOARD TOP TEN FOR WEEK ENDING AUGUST 20, 1977: 1. WAY DOWN-ELVIS PRESLEY-RCA 2. PLEDGING MY LOVE-ELVIS PRESLEY-RCA 3. Rollin' With The Flow-Charlie Rich-Epic 4. Ramblin' Fever-Merle Haggard-MCA 5. When My Blue Moon Turns To Gold Again-Merle Haggard-MCA 6. I Don't Wanna Cry-the Gatlin Bros.-Monument 7. A Song In The Night-Johnny Duncan-Columbia 8. Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue-Crystal Gayle-United Artists 9. Sunflower-Glen Campbell-Capitol 10. I'm The Only Hell Mama Ever Raised-Johnny Paycheck-Epic
P.S.: Billboard is showing the double-sided Elvis Presley and Merle Haggard hits as taking up two positions. In reality, I do not know who were the other two artists in the top ten for that particular week.

I wonder why Blake's SixPak sold only about half as much as "Hillbilly Bone" (SixPak) did during its debut week? I think "Hillbilly Bone" was a bit more of a unique, funny, and engaging tune to country listeners, but I don't think that would correlate with the new SixPak only selling half as much. Hopefully sales even out in the end...Blake has some stellar songs in his new "All About Tonight" SixPak, and even though I find the title track to be a bit too bland, it has still done well on the radio.

If you recall Blake & Reba announced the ACM nominations on CBS & he hit all of the other morning TV shows too. CD sales are way down unless you are a superstar or have a record co that goes all out to support you. www.hitsdailydouble.com/sales/salescht.cgi

It should also be noted that "Hillbilly Bone" had better success on the Hot 100, while "All About Tonight" hasn't. Sales will probably pick up because he's releasing a second single, but the first single obviously didn't interest enough people in the EP like the last one did.

Yikes. This is only #70 on the pop charts? That's the worst performance on the Hot 100 for a #1 country hit since "Where the Green Grass Grows" back in 1998; it only got to #79. And I thought the #61 peaks for "Beer in Mexico" and "Ladies Love Country Boys" were the nadir...

A 00S LOOK: These were the chart topping hits during the last week in August during the 2000s: 2000: What About Now-Lonestar-BNA 2001: Austin-Blake Shelton-Warner Bros. 2002: The Good Stuff-Kenny Chesney-BNA 2003: It's Five O'Clock Somewhere-Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett-Arista 2004: Live Like You Were Dying-Tim McGraw-Curb 2005: Mississippi Girl-Faith Hill-Warner Bros. 2006: If You're Going Through Hell Before The Devil Even Knows-Rodney Atkins-Curb 2007: Never Wanted Nothing More-Kenny Chesney-BNA 2008: Should've Said No-Taylor Swift-Big Machine 2009: You Belong With Me-Taylor Swift-Big Machine 7. THEIR TEN BIGGEST: Let us salute country music's ultimate troubadour-Willie Nelson. These are his ten biggest hits. Weeks at #1 will be first followed by weeks in the top 40. 1. Beer For My Horses-with Toby Keith-2003-6-27 2. Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys-with Waylon Jennings-1978-4-12 3. Good Hearted Woman-with Waylon Jennings-1976-3-13 4.

This Woman And This Man-Clay Walker-Giant 10. Dust On The Bottle-David Lee Murphy-MCA 9. MILESTONE TOP TEN CHART: The most fiddle-driven hit was our #1 single 31 years ago this week. But, you will need a fiddle of gold to save your soul that the Charlie Daniels Band was at the penthouse with The Devil Went Down To Georgia. Let us start the Daniels' story in 1970 when he released his self-titled debut album on Capitol Records. In 1971, he put together his world famous band and signed with the Kama Sutra label (known for their soul and bubblegum music). Their debut for the label, John, Grease & Wolfman was unsuccessful. However, the follow up, Honey In The Rock yielded their first hit on the pop charts, Uneasy Rider (#9 in 1973). It peaked at #67 on the country chart. It was redone in 1988 as Uneasy Rider '88. The following year they started the Volunteer Jam concerts for charity. They had their first top 40 country hit in 1976 with Texas (#36). It peaked at #91 on the pop chart and was their final hit on the Kama Sutra label. The C.D.B. signed to the Epic label in 1976 and their debut album for the label, Saddle Tramp yielded their second top 40 hit (Wichita Jail-#22 in 1976). Saddle Tramp was their second gold album (their first was 1974's Fire On The Mountain which was their first platinum album). The Million Mile Reflections album really kicked their brand of Southern Rock into higher gear. The first single release, The Devil Went Down To Georgia became their first top ten country hit (#1) and their second top ten pop hit (#3). The album has been certified at the triple platinum level while the single sold over a million as well. The song about the main character making a deal with the devil had two versions: one that had 'son of a bitch' in the lyrics and one that said 'son of a gun'. Georgia won the C.M.A. Single of the Year. They also won a Grammy for 'The Devil' as well. Another single from the album, Mississippi also attained major hit status (#19 in 1979). They opened the 1980s with Long Haired Country Boy (#27). Then, In America became their second crossover hit due to the hostage crisis in Iran (#13 country, #11 pop). They were hot at the time that they contributed two songs for the Urban Cowboy Soundtrack (The Devil Went Down To Georgia and Falling In Love For The Night). Then a peculiar thing happened: they were absent from the top 40 on the country charts for six years (yes). The Me And The Boys CD yielded a top 40 hit in Still Hurtin' Me (#33). They landed their second top ten country hit in Drinkin' My Baby Goodbye (#8 in 1986). During that same year, Garth Brooks sang Drinkin' at a local TV station in Oklahoma three years before landing his first top ten. The C.D.B. landed their third top ten in 1988 in Boogie Woogie Fiddle Country Blues (#10). Their next hit, Simple Man hit #12 in 1990. They left Epic in 1993 and signed with Liberty Records. The following year they redid Devil as The Devil Comes Back To Georgia on a Mark O'Connor CD called Heroes. It featured Johnny Cash, Marty Stuart, and Travis Tritt. They influenced a new generation of country artists when Montgomery Gentry provided them with their lucky 13th top 40 hit in All Night Long (#31 in 2000). More recently, the Zac Brown Band gave an electifying version of The Devil Went Down To Georgia at the 2009 C.M.A. Awards. Daniels himself was featured in a Geico Insurance ad in December, 2009. He suffered a stroke in January, 2010. He recovered sufficently to give this year's A.C.M. Awards a rousing start. He even said, "That's how you start an awards show, son." This is what the chart looked like back then:
BILLBOARD TOP TEN FOR WEEK ENDING AUGUST 25, 1979: 1. THE DEVIL WENT DOWN TO GEORGIA-CHARLIE DANIELS BAND-EPIC 2. Heartbreak Hotel-Willie Nelson and Leon Russell-Columbia 3. Coca Cola Cowboy-Mel Tillis-MCA 4. I May Never Get To Heaven-Conway Twitty-MCA 5. Til I Can Make It On My Own-Kenny Rogers and Dottie West-United Artists 6. Stay With Me-Dave & Sugar-RCA 7. Pick The Wildwood Flower-Gene Watson-Capitol 8. You're My Jamaica-Charley Pride-RCA 9. Just Good Ol' Boys-Moe Bandy and Joe Stampley-Columbia 10. Don't Let Me Cross Over-Jim Reeves and Deborah Allen-RCA

7. THEIR TEN BIGGEST: Let us salute country music's ultimate troubadour-Willie Nelson. These are his ten biggest hits. Weeks at #1 will be first followed by weeks in the top 40. 1. Beer For My Horses-with Toby Keith-2003-6-27 2. Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys-with Waylon Jennings-1978-4-12 3. Good Hearted Woman-with Waylon Jennings-1976-3-13 4. Always On My Mind-1982-2-15 5. Mind Your Own Business-with Hank Williams, Jr., Reba McEntire, Tom Petty, and Reverend Ike-1986-2-14 6. To All The Girls I've Loved Before-with Julio Iglesias-1984-2-13 7. Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain-1975-2-12 8. Just To Satisfy You-with Waylon Jennings-1982-2-12 9. My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys-1980-2-10 10. Nothing I Can Do About It Now-1989-1-15 WOW!! you telling me his signature song "On The Road Again" didn't make his OWN Top 10 list? Also FYI the #10 song, "Nothing I Can Do About It Now" came off a real good album, "A Horse Called Music" highly recommended!! Perfect songs from the first to last song was one of the first country albums I bought which surprises me because another single off the album, (which made me buy the album) "There You Are" should've went #1 too bad it didn't it is a killer song!!

I will provide the COMPLETE list tomorrow as I am posting at my local library (even his three #2 hits will be ranked as well). P.S.: The distinction of There You Are (#8 in 1990) and Beer For My Horses is that Willie Nelson has top tens in five consecutive decades (1960s-2000s). Can he get one between 2010-2019? Only time will tell!

^ And Trace Adkins has a good chance of being the fifth #1 cd next week! Phil, you win a prize (I don't know what it is yet). Trace Adkins has this year's fifth #1 CD in Cowboy's Back In Town-50,000 were sold last week! Very good prediction! P.S.: Since the merger of Show Dog and Universal South, the biggest artist not to have a #1 hit or #1 CD is the owner, Toby Keith. Joe Nichols had the first #1 hit in Gimmie That Girl and now Trace Adkins has the first #1 CD.

Per their website, the track listing for the CD is as follows: 1. I Run To You 2. Need You Now 3. Learning To Fly 4. Our Kind Of Love 5. Love This Pain 6. American Honey 7. Hello World Unless kevin59 posted it, I was not aware of this release. P.S.: I went back to page 17 on the Album Release thread (where the last posts from June and the first posts of July start), and I did NOT see an announcement of this particular release.

Yeah, this is the first that I've heard of it... I don't even see the CD on Amazon.
Is "Learning To Fly" a new song?
Also, I think this gives us a hint on what are likely to be the final two singles from the album, "Hello World" and "Love This Pain"...

I did find it on Yahoo Music, though. I was just at Billboard.com and they said that Lady Antebellum is the first act since LeAnn Rimes to have three CDs in the top ten concurrently. I looked it up and this was the last time it happened. Ready? BILLBOARD TOP TEN FOR WEEK ENDING SEPTEMBER 27, 1997: 1. YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE-INSPIRATIONAL SONGS-LEANN RIMES-CURB 2. Songbook-A Collection Of Hits-Trisha Yearwood-MCA 3. Everywhere-Tim McGraw-Curb 4. BLUE-LEANN RIMES-CURB 5. The Best Of Collin Raye-Direct Hits-Collin Raye-Epic 6. Carrying Your Love With Me-George Strait-MCA 7. UNCHAINED MELODY-LEANN RIMES-CURB 8. Greatest Hits-Neal McCoy-Atlantic 9. Evolution-Martina McBride-RCA 10. Nothin' But The Taillights-Clint Black-RCA

I didn't realize until I saw countryhistorian's rundown of the top ten singles of the year in 1995 that no fewer than four of those smashes wound up among the format's top ten 'power gold' tracks of the entire decade.
'Check Yes Or No', 'I Like It (I Love It), 'Dust On The Bottle', and 'Sold' (The Grundy County Auction Incident)', ranked third, fourth, sixth & eighth in that category.
'Something Like That' & 'My Maria' ranked first & second for the decade, while the rest of the top ten included 'Somebody Like You', 'Where The Green Grass Grows', 'Bye Bye' & 'Gone Country' which came in fifth, seventh, ninth & tenth, respectively.
