Well, we can safely say that the albums chart has become stagnated.

Just wondering if someone can PM me with the link to today's BCU...that is, unless no one else got it. Either I didn't get it, or they are really late in emailing it out...usually I have it by 5:30 or 6 at the latest...

1. GIMMIE THAT #1: Joe Nichols collects his first #1 hit in almost four and a half years in Gimmie That Girl. It is his third overall following Brokenheartsville in 2003 and Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off in 2005. It is the first #1 for the newly merged Show Dog-Universal label. Nichols becomes the third consecutive artist to collect their third chart topping hit. The Zac Brown Band was first with Highway 20 Ride (#5 this week) and Lady Antebellum's American Honey (#2 this week). 2. THE FIRST TIME: Two Nashville Star contestants are in the top ten together. Chris Young is at #4 with The Man I Want To Be while Miranda Lambert is at #9 with The House That Built Me. 3. FREE TO MOVE ABOUT THE COUNTRY: The Zac Brown Band has the fastest rising song this week in Free. It moves up 17 to #37. Undo It by Carrie Underwood is second. It flies up nine to #34. 4. CHURCH EQUALS TOWN: Little Big Town is at #28 this week with Little White Church. They are enjoying their biggest hit in two years since Life In A Northern Town (with Sugarland and Jake Owen) peaked at #28 in 2008. 5. A 70S LOOK: These were the #1 hits during the last week in April during the 1970s: 1970: My Woman, My Woman, My Wife-Marty Robbins-Columbia 1971: Empty Arms-Sonny James-Capitol 1972: Chantilly Lace-Jerry Lee Lewis-Mercury 1973: Behind Closed Doors-Charlie Rich-Epic 1974: Hello Love-Hank Snow-RCA 1975: Roll On Big Mama-Joe Stampley-Epic 1976: Don't The Girls All Get Prettier At Closing Time-Mickey Gilley-Playboy 1977: She's Pulling Me Back Again-Mickey Gilley-Playboy 1978: Every Time Two Fools Collide-Kenny Rogers and Dottie West-United Artists 1979: Where Do I Put Her Memory-Charley Pride-RCA 6. THEIR TEN BIGGEST: From one sister to another. Last week we ranked Loretta Lynn's biggest hits, this week it's Crystal Gayle. First number will be the weeks at #1, followed by the number of weeks in the top 40. 1. Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue-1977-4-15 2. Talking In Your Sleep-1978-2-10 3. Why Have You Left The One You Left Me For-1979-2-10 4. I'll Get Over You-1976-1-14 5. Cry-1986-1-14 6. The Sound Of Goodbye-1984-1-14 7. Straight To The Heart-1987-1-14 8. Makin' Up For Lost Time-with Gary Morris-1986-1-14 9. Turning Away-1984-1-13 10. You And I-with Eddie Rabbitt-1982-1-12 7. MILESTONE TOP TEN CHART: As we all know, Brooks & Dunn are touring for the final time this year (and they are fresh off their A.C.M. win as Duo of the Year). It was nine years ago this week Ain't Nothing 'Bout You, chart wise their biggest hit, was #1. You can certainly say B&D were on a roll between 1991-1999. After all, they scored 25 top ten hits (14 #1s). They won the C.M.A. Duo of the Year between 1992-1999. Then came the Tight Rope CD in 1999 and their popularity was waning. The first single, Missing You (the John Waite classic from 1984 later covered by Waite and Alison Krauss in 2007-#34) hit #15 in 1999. That was their worst performance from a first single they ever had. The second single, Beer Thirty peaked a little lower in 2000 (#19). Finally, they scored a top ten that year in You'll Always Be Loved By Me (#5). After the chart run of You'll, B&D lost their lock on the Duo of the Year to Montgomery Gentry. The Tight Rope CD did not sell as well as their previous six CDs. To say it was time to regroup would be an understatement. They took the rest of 2000 to record their Steers & Stripes CD. It paid off, but not without reservation. Ronnie Dunn thought Ain't Nothing 'Bout You was way to 'poppy' for his taste. His mind was changed when it became B&D's first #1 in almost two and a half years (Husbands And Wives hitting #1 in late 1998). Only In America, the second single, started to chart two months prior to September, 2001. It hit #1 in October and briefly became country music's anthem to 9/11 (replaced two months later by Alan Jackson's Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning). The Steers & Stripes CD yielded three more hits: 1. The Long Goodbye-2002-#1 2. My Heart Is Lost To You-2002-#5 3. Every River-2002-#12 The C.M.A. restored them as Duo of the Year between 2001-2006 (could they win it this year?). Four more CDs were released: 1. Red Dirt Road 2. Greatest Hits II 3. Hillbilly Deluxe 4. Cowboy Town They scored another 11 top ten hits (3 #1s). Then 2009 rolled around and the most shocking (maybe not so shocking) news was made. They would retire as a duo. A CD was released (#1s...and then some) and they scored their final hits (both peaking at #16) Indian Summer and Honky Tonk Stomp. This is what the chart looked like back then:
BILLBOARD TOP TEN FOR WEEK ENDING APRIL 28, 2001: 1. AIN'T NOTHING 'BOUT YOU-BROOKS & DUNN-ARISTA 2. It's A Great Day To Be Alive-Travis Tritt-Columbia 3. Who I Am-Jessica Andrews-Dreamworks 4. Don't Happen Twice-Kenny Chesney-BNA 5. If I Fall You're Going Down With Me-the Dixie Chicks-Monument 6. If My Heart Had Wings-Faith Hill-Warner Bros. 7. Grown Men Don't Cry-Tim McGraw-Curb 8. One More Day-Diamond Rio-Arista 9. She Misses Him-Tim Rushlow-Atlantic 10. You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like This-Toby Keith-Dreamworks
P.S.: Good luck to Kix and Ronnie as they pursue their future endeavors!

That was one heck of a top ten back in 2001. A couple of duds but in all a fine selection of music.

Andrews had six top 40 hits between 1999-2003. Who I Am was her only #1 hit. She had one more major hit in There's More To Me Than You (#17 in 2003). She Misses Him was Rushlow's only top ten as a solo artist after his Little Texas days. He formed a second band called Rushlow and they scored only one major hit in I Can't Be Your Friend (#16 in 2003).

Well, I was technically referring to Grown Men Don't Cry as that's the only song I really don't like. But the songs by B&D, Jessica, Travis, Faith and Toby are among my favorites from those respective artists.

Thank you for replying. I was simply going for those artists with the fewest hits.

Tim Rushlow had an amazing CD -- but I believe his original record label shut down after "She Misses Him" peaked.

1. JOE'S #1 GIRL: Joe Nichols reigns for a second week at #1 with Gimmie That Girl. In the meantime, it becomes his biggest hit (as far as weeks at #1 are concerned). Both Brokenheartsville (from 2003) and Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off (from 2005) were one week #1s. Nichols joins a list of artists who have scored their biggest hits in Billboard 2010 (since December, 2009). They are: 1. Need You Now-Lady Antebellum-5 weeks 2. Consider Me Gone-Reba McEntire-4 3. Why Don't We Just Dance-Josh Turner-4 4. A Little More Country Than That-Easton Corbin-1-his first #1 5. Gimmie That Girl-Joe Nichols-2 so far 2. SUMMER'S COMING: There are three songs on the chart with the word 'summer' in them: 1. Groovy Little Summer Song-James Otto-#37 2. Summer Thing-Troy Olsen-#57 3. Here Comes Summer-LoCash Cowboys-#59 3. UP WITH BENTLEY: Dierks Bentley has the fastest rising song this week with Up On The Ridge. It vaults ten to #41. Hard Hat And A Hammer by Alan Jackson makes the second biggest move. It goes up eight to #46. 4. STAY!: Titles 10-14 are enjoying their second week at those positions. They are: #10-Unstoppable-Rascal Flatts #11-Hell On The Heart-Eric Church #12-Crazy Town-Jason Aldean #13-She Won't Be Lonely Long-Clay Walker #14-Water-Brad Paisley 5. A 70S LOOK PART II: These were the top selling albums during the first week in May during the 1970s: 1970: Just Plain Charley-Charley Pride-RCA 1971: Help Me Make It Through The Night-Sammi Smith-Mega 1972: The Best Of Charley Pride, Volume 2-Charley Pride-RCA 1973: Aloha From Hawaii Via Satellite-Elvis Presley-RCA 1974: Very Special Love Songs-Charlie Rich-Epic 1975: An Evening With John Denver-John Denver-RCA 1976: The Sound In Your Mind-Willie Nelson-Columbia 1977: Southern Nights-Glen Campbell-Capitol 1978: Waylon & Willie-Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson-RCA 1979: The Gambler-Kenny Rogers-United Artists 6. THEIR 21 BIGGEST: Just in time for Mother's Day, we will be ranking ALL the Judds' and Wynonna Judd's top two hits. First number will be the weeks at #1 (or #2), followed by the weeks in the top 40. The Judds: 1. Why Not Me-1984-2-15 2. Have Mercy-1985-2-14 3. Cry Myself To Sleep-1987-1-16 4. Grandpa Tell Me 'Bout The Good Old Days-1986-1-15 5. Change Of Heart-1989-1-15 6. Let Me Tell You About Love-1989-1-15 7. Mama He's Crazy-1984-1-14 8. Love Is Alive-1985-1-14 9. Girls Night Out-1985-1-14 10. Maybe Your Baby's Got The Blues-1987-1-14 11. I Know Where I'm Going-1987-1-13 12. Young Love Strong Love-1989-1-13 13. Rockin' With The Rhythm Of The Rain-1986-1-12 14. Turn It Loose-1988-1-12 15. Give A Little Love-1988-2-13 (#2) W.J.: 1. No One Else On Earth-1992-4-17 2. I Saw The Light-1992-3-18 3. To Be Loved By You-1996-1-18 4. She Is His Only Need-1992-1-16 5. A Bad Goodbye-with Clint Black-1993-1-15 (#2) 6. Rock Bottom-1994-1-15 (#2) 7. MILESTONE TOP TEN CHART: A song that was first recorded by Brenda Lee and Elvis Presley in 1972 finally saw the light of day when the definitive version by Willie Nelson was #1 28 years ago this week. The song was Always On My Mind and is considered to be the masterpiece performance of the 1980s. The Presley version was the first to become a hit (#16 in 1973-during the time Elvis came back to country). Six years later, John Wesley Ryles made it a hit by taking it to #20 (titled as You Are Always On My Mind). The song laid dormant for two years. Nelson recorded Always during the time he released a greatest hits album (Willie Nelson's Greatest Hits & Some That Will Be). It was the first song he recorded at his new Pedernales Studio in Austin. The studio was not finished yet, giving the exposed piano parts of the song a more distinctive sound. Always was released in February and made its way to #1 in May. Always was a hit on three charts (#1 country, #5 pop, and #2 A.C.). Two more singles were released, both peaking at #2: Let It Be Me in 1982 and Last Thing I Needed First Thing This Morning in 1983. However, Nelson did not have to wait long for his next chart topper. After Always was #1 for two weeks, Nelson topped the charts for the next two weeks with Just To Satisfy You with Waylon Jennings. The song won the Single of the Year Award from the C.M.A.. The Always On My Mind album was #1 for 22 weeks and won the C.M.A. Album of the Year Award. It is certified at four times platinum. This is what the chart looked like back then:
BILLBOARD TOP TEN FOR WEEK ENDING MAY 8, 1982: 1. ALWAYS ON MY MIND-WILLIE NELSON-COLUMBIA 2. Mountain Music-Alabama-RCA 3. If You're Thinking You Want A Stranger There's One Coming Home-George Strait-MCA 4. Just To Satisfy You-Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson-RCA 5. You Never Gave Up On Me-Crystal Gayle-Columbia 6. Busted-John Conlee-MCA 7. You'll Be Back Every Night In My Dreams-the Statler Bros.-Mercury 8. Single Women-Dolly Parton-RCA 9. 'Round The Clock Lovin'-Gail Davies-Warner Bros. 10. Tears Of The Lonely-Mickey Gilley-Epic

1. CHRIS IS THE #1 MAN: Chris Young collects his second #1 hit with The Man I Want To Be. It follows last year's Gettin' You Home The Black Dress Song. In the meantime, he is the first Nashville Star winner with multiple #1 hits. Carrie Underwood remains the only American Idol winner with multiple #1s (9). Her Undo It is at #23 and gets the Most Increased Audience and Most Added awards. 2. SECOND TIME AROUND: While Mr. Young gets his second chart topper, Eric Church collects his second top ten with Hell On The Heart (#10 this week). It joins Love Your Love The Most from last year (#10). 3. I'M MOVING: Keith Urban has the fastest rising song this week with I'm In. It vaults eight to #52. Hard Hat And A Hammer by Alan Jackson moves up seven to #39. Easton Corbin also moves up seven to #41 with Roll With It. 4. SUNSHINE ON MY SHOULDERS: There are two songs on the charts with the word 'sunshine' in them. They are: 1. Sunshine Everybody Needs A Little-Steve Azar-#45 2. Rollin' Through The Sunshine-Trailer Choir-#55 5. THE #1S ON THE 5S: These were the top singles in 2005, 1995, 1985, 1975, 1965, 1955, and 1945: 2005: My Give A Damn's Busted-Jo Dee Messina-Curb 1995: I Can Love You Like That-John Michael Montgomery-Atlantic 1985: Somebody Should Leave-Reba McEntire-MCA 1975: She's Actin' Single I'm Drinkin' Doubles-Gary Stewart-RCA 1965: Girl On The Billboard-Del Reeves-United Artists 1955: In The Jailhouse Now-Webb Pierce-Decca 1945: Shame On You-Spade Cooley-Okeh 6. THEIR TEN BIGGEST: We lost Eddie Rabbitt twelve years ago last week (we miss you, Eddie!). These are his ten biggest hits. First number is the weeks at #1, folowed by the weeks in the top 40. 1. Every Which Way But Loose-1979-3-12 2. On Second Thought-1990-2-24 3. Both To Each Other Friends & Lovers-with Juice Newton-1986-1-14 4. The Best Year Of My Life-1985-1-14 5. The Wanderer-1988-1-14 6. I Wanna Dance With You-1988-1-14 7. You Can't Run From Love-1983-1-13 8. I Love A Rainy Night-1981-1-12 9. Drivin' My Life Away-1980-1-12 10. You And I-with Crystal Gayle-1982-1-12 7. THE YEAR'S BIGGEST: A new feature in my weekly Country ChartBeat is to provide the top ten hits of the year according to the American Country Countdown. We will start with 1980 and proceed forward. 1. My Heart-Ronnie Milsap-RCA 2. Dancin' Cowboys-the Bellamy Bros.-Warner Bros. 3. One Day At A Time-Cristy Lane-United Artists 4. Happy Birthday Darlin'-Conway Twitty-MCA 5. I Believe In You-Don Williams-MCA 6. Lookin' For Love-Johnny Lee-Full Moon 7. Tennessee River-Alabama-RCA 8. Barroom Buddies-Merle Haggard and Clint Eastwood-Elektra 9. Coward Of The County-Kenny Rogers-United Artists 10. He Stopped Loving Her Today-George Jones-Epic 8. MILESTONE TOP TEN CHART: The 'female Highwayman' CD finally saw the light of day 23 years ago this week (after a decade of on again, off again starts). To Know Him Is To Love Him by Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, and Linda Ronstadt was #1 and continued the 50s revival on the country charts during the second half of the 1980s. Before they decided to work together, Harris and Ronstadt collaborated on The Sweetest Gift (#12 in 1976). Two years later, Harris made a major hit out of the Parton tune, To Daddy (#3). It was during this time they wanted to record an album's worth of material. However, in 1977, Harris was on the Warner Bros. label, Parton was on RCA, and Ronstadt was on Asylum. NONE of the labels budged, so they abandoned the project. However, four songs appeared on four different albums: Mister Sandman, Evangeline, Even Cowgirls Get The Blues, and My Blue Tears (none of them appearing on the 1987 CD). 1986 was a pivotal year. First, the three women decided to start recording the Trio CD on Parton's 40th birthday (in January). Second, Parton scored her last major hit on RCA (Tie Our Love In A Double Knot-#17) and signed with Columbia Records. Harris and Ronstadt were still with Warner and Asylum, respectively. Before the first Trio single was released, Ronstadt scored a major pop hit with James Ingram called Somewhere Out There (#2). While that single was flying high on the pop charts, Parton, Harris, and Ronstadt made their debut with To Know Him Is To Love Him (a #1 pop hit for The Teddy Bears in 1958, which succeeded Conway Twitty's It's Only Make Believe, which was a top ten for Ronnie McDowell in 1988-#8 (with background vocals by Twitty himself)). Getting back to the Trio CD, it was #1 on the country albums chart for five weeks while claiming the #6 position on the Billboard 200 charts. It sold over a million copies. It yielded three more top tens: 1. Telling Me Lies-1987-#3 2. Those Memories Of You-1987-#5 3. Wildflowers-1988-#6 To Know Him won the first C.M.A. Vocal Event of the Year (in 1988) and a Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocal. Twelve years later, Trio II emerged. This is what the chart looked like back then:
BILLBOARD TOP TEN FOR WEEK ENDING MAY 16, 1987: 1. TO KNOW HIM IS TO LOVE HIM-DOLLY PARTON, EMMYLOU HARRIS, AND LINDA RONSTADT-WARNER BROS. 2. Can't Stop My Heart From Loving You-the O'Kanes-Columbia 3. It Takes A Little Rain To Make Love Grow-the Oak Ridge Boys-MCA 4. Julia-Conway Twitty-MCA 5. I Will Be There-Dan Seals-EMI America 6. Domestic Life-John Conlee-Columbia 7. Girls Ride Horses Too-Judy Rodman-MTM 8. Too Many Rivers-the Forester Sisters-Warner Bros. 9. Plain Brown Wrapper-Gary Morris-Warner Bros. 10. Til I'm Too Old To Die Young-Moe Bandy-MCA

countryhistorian, I have a question for you. Which country album has spent the most consecutive weeks at #1? The reason I'm asking this is because Lady A's latest is poised for a 16th week at the top of the chart.

I had recently answered this on another thread. It would be Garth Brooks' Ropin' The Wind CD. It was the top selling CD for 29 consecutive weeks between 1991-1992.

Only 3 different albums have hit #1 this year so far. That's sooo funny; Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, and Lady Antebellum.

So when is the next upcoming album release which may pose a threat to Lady A? June 8th is the release date for both Dierks Bentley and Jewel. I imagine that one (if not both) of those albums will outsell Lady A that week.

I think it's Come On Over, which spent 50 weeks or something like that at #1. In fact, to my knowledge, it's the only album to have gone to the catalog chart from the #1 position. I'll have to check on its consecutive week logs, but I'm fairly certain, unless you can show me otherwise (Google isn't helping) that Ropin' The Wind does have the record, I'm going to stick with Shania.

If you were to take a look at the original question, the album to have the longest reign at #1 (uninterrupted) would be Ropin' The Wind. It was #1 for 29 consecutive weeks. The Come On Over CD had a longer reign for being the #1 CD (50 weeks-a record), but its reign was interrupted a ton of times between 1997-2000. I had just looked it up and I will give you Shania Twain's longest srteaks aty #1 with C.O.O.: 1997-3 weeks, 1998-9 weeks, 1999-15 weeks, and 2000-2 weeks. As a matter of fact, I covered this CD in my Country ChartBeat back in January to celebrate the fact that C.O.O. was #1 during its final week being the top selling country CD in the land. I'll have to check on its consecutive week logs, but I'm fairly certain, unless you can show me otherwise (Google isn't helping) that Ropin' The Wind does have the record, I'm going to stick with Shania. I actually answered this question. I modified my response wrong! For carrieidol1: There have only been two #1 CDs this year-Taylor Swift's Fearless and Need You Now by Lady Antebellum.

1. HE WANTS TO BE #1: Chris Young spends a second week at #1 with The Man I Want To Be. He has now spent three weeks at #1 as Gettin' You Home The Black Dress Song ruled for seven days last year. 2. WHOA KEITH!: Keith Urban makes the biggest move on the charts this year as I'm In takes a 23 notch jump to #29. That's 38% of the chart! The last song I know that took at least a 20 point jump was Summer Nights by Rascal Flatts. Urban has already superseded the Kinleys' 2001 version by six spots. He also gets the Most Increased Audience and Most Added awards. 3. COUNTRY'S NEWEST COUPLE: Congratulations to Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton getting engaged last week. Respectively, this is where their latest singles are on the charts: The House That Built Me-#4 All About Tonight-#23 4. TRACE IS A SHOW DOG: Trace Adkins makes his Show Dog-Universal debut with This Ain't No Love Song at #54. This comes four months after signing with them. If it hits top 20, that means Adkins has scored major hits on three labels over the past year. The others: 1. All I Ask For Anymore-2009-#14 on Capitol 2. Hillbilly Bone-with Blake Shelton-2010-#1 on Warner Bros. 5. THE TOP SELLERS ON THE 5S: These were the top selling albums in 2005, 1995, 1985, 1975, and 1965: 2005: Delicious Surprise-Jo Dee Messina-Curb 1995: John Michael Montgomery-John Michael Montgomery-Atlantic 1985: 40 Hour Week-Alabama-RCA 1975: Before The Next Teardrop Falls-Freddy Fender-ABC/Dot 1965: I've Got A Tiger By The Tail-Buck Owens-Capitol 6. THEIR FIVE BIGGEST TIMES TWO: K.T. Oslin and Highway 101 are members of the class of 1987. They both have four #1 hits and a #2 hit. These are their five biggest hits each. First number is the weeks at #1, followed by weeks in the top 40. K.T.O.: 1. Come Next Monday-1990-2-18 2. Do Ya'-1987-1-16 3. Hold Me-1989-1-14 4. I'll Always Come Back-1988-1-13 5. Hey Bobby-1989-1-13 (#2) H101: 1. Somewhere Tonight-1987-2-14 2. Who's Lonely Now-1990-1-17 3. Do You Love Me Just Say Yes-1988-1-14 4. Cry, Cry, Cry-1988-1-13 5. Whiskey, If You Were A Woman-1987-1-15 (#2) 7. THE YEAR'S BIGGEST: These are the ten biggest hits of 1981 according to the American Country Countdown: 1. Party Time-T.G. Sheppard-Warner Bros. 2. There's No Gettin' Over Me-Ronnie Milsap-RCA 3. Fire And Smoke-Earl Thomas Conley-Sunbird 4. I Think I'll Just Stay Here And Drink-Merle Haggard-MCA 5. One In A Million-Johnny Lee-Full Moon 6. But You Know I Love You-Dolly Parton-RCA 7. Step By Step-Eddie Rabbitt-Elektra 8. I Love A Rainy Night-Eddie Rabbitt-Elektra 9. Seven Year Ache-Rosanne Cash-Columbia 10. Friends/Anywhere There's A Jukebox-Razzy Bailey-RCA 8. MILESTONE TOP TEN CHART: Let us salute country music's most famous daughter, Rosanne Cash. She scored her first #1 hit 29 years ago this week with Seven Year Ache (which became her only top 40 pop hit at #22). She ended up signing to the same label as her father, Johnny (they were together on the Columbia label between 1979-1986). However, her first association with CBS Records came in 1976 when she moved to England to work at their London office. She returned home in 1977 and went back to Europe (this time Germany) to work on her debut album for Ariola Records in 1978. She describes the album as 'horrible'. The following year was pivotal for Rosanne. First, she married Rodney Crowell (who she met in 1976) and worked on her debut album for Columbia. The Right Or Wrong album yielded Cash's first major hits. They were: 1. No Memories Hangin' Round-with Bobby Bare-1979-#17 2. Couldn't Do Nothin' Right-1980-#15 Shortly after the chart run of title #2, Cash and Crowell worked on album #2. The album was called Seven Year Ache and the first single release, the title track, entered the charts in February. It became the first of Cash's eleven chart topping hits. The album became the first by a female artist to yield three #1 hits. They were: 1. Seven Year Ache-1981 2. My Baby Thinks He's A Train-1981 3. Blue Moon With Heartache-1982 She then released her third album, Somewhere In The Stars which yielded the following hits: 1. Ain't No Money-1982-#4 2. I Wonder-1983-#8 3. It Hasn't Happened Yet-1983-#14 Her next two albums established firsts for a female artist. They were: 1. Rhythm & Romance-the first album by a female to yield four top five hits: a. I Don't Know Why You Don't Want Me-1985-#1-her only Grammy Award winning hit b. Never Be You-1986-#1-chart wise, her biggest hit c. Hold On-1986-#5 d. Second To No One-1986-#5 2. King's Record Shop-the first album by a female to yield four chart toppers: a. The Way We Make A Broken Heart-1987 b. Tennessee Flat Top Box-1988-written by her father! c. If You Change Your Mind-1988 d. Runaway Train-1988 She was named Billboard's Top Country Singles Artist in 1988 when she duetted with Crowell on It's Such A Small World (#1). She became the ONLY artist to take a Beatles tune to #1 (I Don't Want To Spoil The Party in 1989). Although she placed two more top 40 hits before 1990 ended, she has not had a top ten since. Two years later, her marriage to Crowell ended and his chart run of major hits ended during this time. Cash switched labels from Columbia to Capitol Records in 1995. She released a short story collection in 1996 called Bodies Of Water. More recently, in 2003, she lost her father and step mother, June Carter Cash. She released a CD that year called Rules Of Travel. It featured a duet between father and daughter called September When It Comes. Her mother, Vivian Liberto, died in 2005. Her most recent CD, The List was released last year and contains twelve of the 100 songs her father wanted her to learn while a teenager. This is what the chart looked like back then:
BILLBOARD TOP TEN FOR WEEK ENDING MAY 23, 1981: 1. SEVEN YEAR ACHE-ROSANNE CASH-COLUMBIA 2. Elvira-the Oak Ridge Boys-MCA 3. Friends-Razzy Bailey-RCA 4. Anywhere There's A Jukebox-Razzy Bailey-RCA 5. What Are We Doin' In Love-Dottie West and Kenny Rogers-Liberty 6. I'm Just An Old Chunk Of Coal But I'm Gonna Be A Diamond Someday-John Anderson-Warner Bros. 7. But You Know I Love You-Dolly Parton-RCA 8. I Loved 'Em Every One-T.G. Sheppard-Warner Bros. 9. Blessed Are The Believers-Anne Murray-Capitol 10. Louisiana Saturday Night-Mel McDaniel-Capitol
P.S.: Billboard is showing the double-sided Razzy Bailey hit as taking two positions, so in reality, I do not know who is at #10.

Good job there, CH. Nice review of my all-time favorite country female singer, and even a nice mention of September When It Comes, one of the best songs I've ever heard in any genre of music.
Rosie's still great, and her voice is still strong.

I noticed an error in the chart listings. Joe Nichols got three weeks at #1 on Country Aircheck, while Chris Young is currently in his third week at #1 on Billboard. I have noted that on the main page. Everything is up to date. :)
