1. HIS GREATEST: Eric Church holds the #1 position for a second week with Springsteen. It becomes his greatest hit so far as his other #1, Drink In My Hand ruled for seven days this year. 2. A COLUMBIA FIRST: After charting on the BNA label between 1995-2012, Kenny Chesney collects his first top ten for his 'new' label, Columbia. It is Come Over and it is at #10 for the week. BNA has been eliminated by Sony. It is part of Sony reorganizing their labels. It takes us back to last year when Sony eliminated Columbia in favor of RCA. Right after that happened, Miranda Lambert, originally a Columbia artist, collected her first top ten with RCA with Baggage Claim (#3). 3. AFTER FIVE TRIES: Gloriana collects their first top ten with Kissed You Good Night at #9. This is their fifth single release. Their first single, Wild At Heart peaked at #15 in 2009. Their next three singles all peaked between #34-#37 between 2009-2011. 4. LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON: Crossing into the top 20 for the first time is Thomas Rhett with Something To Do With My Hands at #19. He is the son of Rhett Akins, who scored a trio of major hits between 1995-1996: 1. That Ain't My Truck-1995-#3 2. She Said Yes-1996-#17 3. Don't Get Me Started-1996-#1 5. AN IDOL SHOWDOWN: Two American Idol contestants make their debuts this week. They are: 1. Casey James-He was the third place finalist on season nine of the show. He debuts at #54 with Crying On A Suitcase. It is his second single following Let's Don't Call It A Night which peaked at #21 this year. 2. Carrie Underwood-She was the fourth American Idol winner. She follows up her #1 Good Girl with the title track of her CD, Blown Away at #58. 6. LITTLE FAST: Little Big Town has the fastest climbing song of the week with Pontoon. It sails seven to #29. 7. THE EMI ERA HAS STARTED: After charting on the Arista label between 1989-2011, Alan Jackson's EMI debut CD, Thirty Miles West debuts at #1 after 73,000 copies were sold. This is his lucky 13th chart topping CD following: 1. A Lot About Livin' And A Little 'Bout Love-1992 2. Who I Am-1994 3. The Greatest Hits Collection-1995 4. Everything I Love-1996 5. High Mileage-1998 6. When Somebody Loves You-2000 7. Drive-2002 8. Greatest Hits Volume II And Some Other Stuff-2003 9. What I Do-2004 10. Precious Memories-2006 11. Like Red On A Rose-2006 12. Good Time-2008 13. Thirty Miles West-2012 8. #1 CDS: These were the top selling CDs in 2007, 2002, 1997, 1992, and 1987: 2007: Relentless-Jason Aldean-Broken Bow 2002: No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems-Kenny Chesney-BNA 1997: Everywhere-Tim McGraw-Curb 1992: Some Gave All-Billy Ray Cyrus-Mercury 1987: Always & Forever-Randy Travis-Warner Bros. 9. MILESTONE TOP TEN CHART: You can say that Hank Williams, Jr. has been a performer for all his life. He was born in 1949 and was expected to be just like his father. A mountain climbing accident in 1975 and a change in labels in 1976 certainly changed his perspective. In 1985, while he was celebrating his 36th birthday, he released his 50th album called Five-O, which was our top seller 27 years ago this week. In 1982, he released his first greatest hits album for Warner/Elektra. Despite peaking at #5, it became his best selling album (quintuple platinum) and stayed on the chart for 342 weeks (6.6 years). Strong Stuff was next and it yielded two hits in 1983: Gonna Go Huntin' Tonight (#4) and Leave Them Boys Alone with Waylon Jennings and Ernest Tubb (#6). The latter tune was written by Tanya Tucker and was Tubb's last top ten before he died in 1984. Then, a song about his father, The Conversation was another collaboration with Jennings peaked at #15 in 1983 and came from Jennings' CD, Waylon And Company. Man Of Steel was released in late 1983 and it produced Queen Of My Heart (#5 in 1983) and the title track (#3 in 1984). Major Moves was next and it hit #1, becoming Bocephus' second chart topping album since Songs My Father Left Me in 1969. A trio of top tens were produced: 1. Attitude Adjustment-1984-#5 2. All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight-1984-#10 3. Major Moves-1985-#10 Then Five-O was released and it started on a chart topping note when I'm For Love became Williams' seventh #1 and first since 1982's Honky Tonkin'. His ode to the night time soaps, Dallas and Dynasty was next called This Ain't Dallas. It proceeded to a #4 peak just before 1985 ended. The Five-O CD spent nine weeks at #1 in 1985, the last of those in August. Then Ray Charles released his duet with Williams off his Friendship CD, Two Old Cats Like Us and it hit #14. Five-O's third single, Ain't Misbehavin' was released in 1986 and it was the Fats Waller tune written in 1929. He was not sure how country radio would react to the song. His version features a 45 second outro. It became his eighth #1 hit in May. Then, something peculiar happened. The Five-O CD returned to #1 the same week he was #1 with Ain't Misbehavin' (nine months after it last topped the album chart). The CD also contains the late Warren Zevon's Lawyers, Guns, And Money. It was the last CD produced by Jimmy Bowen (1979's Family Tradition being first). A second greatest hits CD was #1 in 1986. Over the next three years, Williams would win five Entertainer of the Year Awards (three from the A.C.M. and two from the C.M.A.). His radio success tailed off during the early 1990s. More recently, he found himself in hot water when he said during an interview that President Obama and Adolf Hitler were alike. That led ESPN to drop All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight as the Monday Night Football theme (first used in 1991). He is set to release a CD called Old School New Rules. This is what the chart looked like back then:
BILLBOARD TOP TEN FOR WEEK ENDING JUNE 22, 1985: 1. FIVE-O-HANK WILLIAMS, JR.-WARNER BROS. 2. 40 Hour Week-Alabama-RCA 3. Sawyer Brown-Sawyer Brown-Capitol 4. Let It Roll-Mel McDaniel-Capitol 5. Step On Out-Oak Ridge Boys-MCA 6. Me And Paul-Willie Nelson-Columbia 7. Why Not Me-the Judds-RCA 8. Friendship-Ray Charles-Columbia 9. George Strait's Greatest Hits-George Strait-MCA 10. Don't Call Him A Cowboy-Conway Twitty-Warner Bros.

1. DRUNK ON #1: Luke Bryan completes his fourth trip to the top of the chart this week with Drunk On You. He has something in common with last week's chart topping artist, Eric Church. Bryan collects his second #1 this year as I Don't Want This Night To End was #1 in February. Church topped the charts this year with Drink In My Hand and Springsteen. 2. PERRYS EQUALS FORESTERS: The Band Perry collects their fourth top ten hit this week with Postcard From Paris at #10. It follows: 1. If I Die Young-2010-#1 2. You Lie-2011-#2 3. All Your Life-2012-#1 4. Postcard From Paris-2012-#10 so far They follow the Forester Sisters as the second all-sibling group to land a quartet of top tens from one CD. The Foresters did it with these hits from their self-titled debut CD: 1. That's What You Do When You're In Love-1985-#10 2. I Fell In Love Again Last Night-1985-#1 3. Just In Case-1986-#1 4. Mama's Never Seen Those Eyes-1986-#1 3. BLOWN FAST: Carrie Underwood has the fastest climbing song of the week as Blown Away vaults eleven to #47. 4. HOW APPROPRIATE: The Band Perry is on the chart this week at #60 with the Star Spangled Banner as we are ready to celebrate the nation's 236th birthday. 5. A 90S LOOK: These were the chart topping songs during the last week of June during the 1990s: 1990: Love Without End, Amen-George Strait-MCA 1991: The Thunder Rolls-Garth Brooks-Capitol 1992: Achy Breaky Heart-Billy Ray Cyrus-Mercury 1993: That Summer-Garth Brooks-Capitol 1994: Wink-Neal McCoy-Atlantic 1995: Sold The Grundy County Auction Incident-John Michael Montgomery-Atlantic 1996: Time Marches On-Tracy Lawrence-Atlantic 1997: It's Your Love-Tim McGraw and Faith Hill-Curb 1998: If You See Him/If You See Her-Reba McEntire and Brooks & Dunn-MCA/Arista 1999: Write This Down-George Strait-MCA 6. MILESTONE TOP TEN CHART: Last year, Randy Travis released a CD called Anniversary Celebration. It marked his silver anniversary of being a recording artist. Let us celebrate the silver anniversary of Forever And Ever, Amen being the #1 song 25 years ago this week. Seeing since I covered Travis' career several times in this section, I will not give a long story this week. Suffice to say, Forever And Ever, Amen made Travis the hottest country artist throughout the rest of the 1980s. The CD from which it came, Always & Forever was spending its second week being the top seller. It ended up spending 43 weeks at the top, second to Shania Twain's Come On Over CD (50 weeks at #1). The CD is Travis' best seller at over the five million mark. Forever And Ever, Amen became the first three week #1 since Johnny Lee's Lookin' For Love in 1980 (I am showing the third chart topping week for the song). It was Travis' biggest hit until 1990 when Hard Rock Bottom Of Your Heart ruled for four weeks. The CD contained three more #1s: 1. I Won't Need You Anymore Always And Forever-1987 2. Too Gone Too Long-1988 3. I Told You So-1988 I Told You So came back in a big way in 2009. It was the fifth single release from Carrie Underwood's Carnival Ride CD. After she and Travis sang it on American Idol, Arista rereleased it in duet form. It peaked at #2 for two weeks while claiming a #9 spot on the Hot 100. Forever And Ever, Amen made a comeback as well. It is available on the new Travis CD as a duet with the Zac Brown Band. This is what the chart looked like back then:
BILLBOARD TOP TEN FOR WEEK ENDING JUNE 27, 1987: 1. FOREVER AND EVER, AMEN-RANDY TRAVIS-WARNER BROS. 2. That Was A Close One-Earl Thomas Conley-RCA 3. All My Ex's Live In Texas-George Strait-MCA 4. Chains Of Gold-Sweethearts of the Rodeo-Columbia 5. You're My First Lady-T.G. Sheppard-Columbia 6. Love You Ain't Seen The Last Of Me-John Schneider-MCA 7. You're Never Too Old For Young Love-Eddy Raven-RCA 8. I Know Where I'm Going-the Judds-RCA 9. Another World-Crystal Gayle and Gary Morris-Warner Bros. 10. The Weekend-Steve Wariner-MCA
P.S.: Happy Independence Day!

1. STILL DRUNK: Luke Bryan continies to hold on to the #1 spot with Drunk On You. This is his second multi week #1 as his first was his first #1: Rain Is A Good Thing from 2010. If Drunk On You manages a third week at #1, it will be Bryan's biggest hit. 2. WELCOME BACK: Love And Theft collect their second top ten hit in Angel Eyes at #10. They have not seen the top ten since their debut, Runaway in 2009 (#10). Since then, they had to switch labels as their first, Lyric Street was shut down and they signed to RCA and they have been reduced to a duo as Brian Bandas left in 2011. 3. THEIR FIRST IN FIVE YEARS: Big & Rich collect their sith top 20 hit in That's Why I Pray at #19. They have not seen the top 20 in five years when Lost In This Moment became their only #1 hit (and top ten as well). Their major hits are: 1. Save A Horse Ride A Cowboy-2004-#11 2. Holy Water-2005-#15 3. Big Time-2005-#20 4. 8th Of November-2006-#18 5. Lost In This Moment-2007-#1 6. That's Why I Pray-2012-#19 so far 4. CREEPIN' FAST: Eric Church has the fastest climbing song of the week as Creepin' does not creep, but moves up nine to #45. 5. A 90S LOOK PART II: These were the top selling CDs during the first week of July during the 1990s: 1990: Killin' Time-Clint Black-RCA 1991: No Fences-Garth Brooks-Capitol 1992: Some Gave All-Billy Ray Cyrus-Mercury 1993: It Won't Be The Last-Billy Ray Cyrus-Mercury 1994: Not A Moment Too Soon-Tim McGraw-Curb 1995: John Michael Montgomery-John Michael Montgomery-Atlantic 1996: The Woman In Me-Shania Twain-Mercury 1997: Everywhere-Tim McGraw-Curb 1998: Hope Floats-Soundtrack-Capitol 1999: Come On Over-Shania Twain-Mercury 6.

1. TWO FOR TWO: Brantley Gilbert scores his second #1 in You Don't Know Her Like I Do. This is his second chart appearance as his first, Country Must Be Country Wide went to #1 last year. 2. TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE: Tim McGraw debuts TWO singles this week on the chart. Truck Yeah, his debut for Big Machine lands at #22. It is the second highest debut this year as his duet with Kenny Chesney, Feel Like A Rock Star started at #13. His other song, Right Back Atcha Babe debuts at #59. That is from his Emotional Traffic CD from his former (maybe) label, Curb. 3. A TIE: We have a trio of songs taking six spot jumps for the fastest climbers of the week. They are: 1. Blown Away-Carrie Underwood-#46 to #40 2. Beer Money-Kip Moore-#50 to #44 3. Let There Be Cowgirls-Chris Cagle-#56 to #50 4. A LOGJAM: These songs stay in their positions for the second week just outside the top ten: 11. Over-Blake Shelton 12. Time Is Love-Josh Turner 13. For You-Keith Urban 14. Why Ya Wanna-Jana Kramer 15. Cowboys And Angels-Dustin Lynch 16. Something To Do With My Hands-Thomas Rhett 5. #1 HITS: These were the chart topping songs in 2007, 2002, 1997, 1992, and 1987: 2007: Lucky Man-Montgomery Gentry-Columbia 2002: I'm Gonna Miss Her The Fishin' Song-Brad Paisley-Arista 1997: It's Your Love-Tim McGraw and Faith Hill-Curb 1992: I Saw The Light-Wynonna Judd-MCA 1987: All My Ex's Live In Texas-George Strait-MCA 6. MILESTONE TOP TEN CHART: I am lying to you already. How? Well, back in February I had discussed how Billboard changed the name of their country chart from Hot Country Singles to Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs). That was in 1990. In January of that year, they changed the size of their chart from 100 positions to 75 (now 60). The first 100 position chart was published 39 years ago this week. The reigning C.M.A. Entertainer of the Year, Loretta Lynn lead the list with her ninth #1 hit, Love Is The Foundation. So, without further ado, let us present the first 100 position country chart. Ready?

1. A YOUNG #1: The Eli Young Band collects their second #1 hit in Even If It Breaks Your Heart. It is the follow up to their first, Crazy Girl which became the biggest hit of 2011. 2. A SHELTON FIRST: Blake Shelton collects his fourth top ten from his Red River Blue CD as Over climbs two to #9. It follows his chart toppers from the CD: Honey Bee and God Gave Me You from 2011 and Drink On It from this year. His only other CD to yield a quartet of top 40 hits is his 2004 CD Blake Shelton's Barn & Grill. Those hits were: 1. When Somebody Knows You That Well-2004-#37 2. Some Beach-2004-#1 3. Goodbye Time-2005-#10 4. Nobody But Me-2006-#4 As you can tell, this is a marked improvement for Shelton. 3. STAY!: After debuting at #22 last week with Truck Yeah, Tim McGraw holds that position this week. It happened to him earlier this year when his duet with Kenny Chesney, Feel Like A Rock Star spent its first two weeks on the chart at #13. 4. CARRIED AWAY: Carrie Underwood has the fastest climbing song of the week as Blown Away breezes ten to #30. 5. TWICE THE OWEN: Colt Ford debuts his new single this week, Back at #59. It is a duet with Jake Owen. Owen himself is at #31 with the third single from Barefoot Blue Jean Night, The One That Got Away. 6. #1 CDS: These were the top selling CDs in 2007, 2002, 1997, 1992, and 1987: 2007: 5th Gear-Brad Paisley-Arista 2002: No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems-Kenny Chesney-BNA 1997: Everywhere-Tim McGraw-Curb 1992: Some Gave All-Billy Ray Cyrus-Mercury 1987: Always & Forever-Randy Travis-Warner Bros. 7. MILESTONE TOP TEN CHART: There was a record label in Nashville that was in operation for four years (1984-1988). It was called MTM Records and owned by Mary Tyler Moore (yes, the famous actress). Their first signee, Judy Rodman gave them their first top 40 hit, their first top ten hit, and their first #1 hit. That #1 hit, Until I Met You hit the top of the chart 26 years ago this week. Talk about starting young! Tell me if you did these things at these ages. Rodman did! At four: she started singing harmony At six: started playing guitar At eight: started earning money by performing in her father's band She got into a wide variety of music while growing up (after all, she moved around quite a bit as a child). She liked Classical, Rock, Cajun, and Calypso music (what, no Country?). Judy became a jingle singer during her senior year in high school (again, starting young). Her first commercial was for Jeno's Pizza. She then studied music at Jacksonville University. She took a job at the Tanner Agency in Memphis. While there, she formed a group called Phase II with another jingle singer by the name of Janie Frickie. Karen Taylor-Good rounded out the trio. They played the nightclub circuit around Memphis and Nashville, where they were quite popular. In fact, Columbia Records decided to sign a very reluctant Frickie to a record deal in 1977. Shortly after Rodman lost Frickie, she started to do back up singing for a variety of artists. They are: O.V. Wright, Ann Peebles (both r&b artists), Charly McClain, Mel McDaniel, and O.B. McClinton. In the meantime, she married John Rodman in 1975 and moved to Nashville in 1980. She continued singing jingles and back up for practically ALL the country artists out there (like Frickie, whom Rodman backed up a time or two). Some #1s where Rodman was the back up singer include: 1. Only One You-T.G. Sheppard-1982 2. It Ain't Easy Bein' Easy-Frickie-1982 3. He's A Heartache Looking For A Place To Happen-Frickie-1983 4. Tell Me A Lie-Frickie-1983 5. You Look So Good In Love-George Strait-1984 6. Let's Fall To Pieces Together-Strait-1984 While Strait was on the chart with his songs, Rodman met Tommy West by Taylor-Good. West was famous for producing Jim Croce and Ed Bruce. West was chsoen Senior Vice President for MTM Records and signed Rodman to a record deal. Her 1985 debut CD, simply called Judy started with I've Been Had By Love Before (#40 in 1985). She followed that with You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone (not the Brooks & Dunn song-#33 in 1985). Just before 1985 ended, she entered the chart with I Sure Need Your Lovin' (#30 in 1986). Shortly after that record peaked, she won the A.C.M. New Female Vocalist Award. Shortly after that success, Rodman released Until I Met You (originally recorded by Loretta Lynn for her 1980 album, Lookin' Good) in April and it climbed all the way to #1 in July, becoming the first top ten and #1 for MTM. MTM would strike top ten gold in the Girls Next Door (Slow Boat To China-#8), Schuyler, Knobloch & Overstreet (You Can't Stop Love-#9 and they would score MTM's only other #1 in 1987 with Baby's Got A New Baby), and Holly Dunn (Daddy's Hands-#7). Shortly after scoring her only #1, Rodman made her debut on the Grand Ole Opry. Judy ended on a #9 note in 1987 with She Thinks That She'll Marry. The CD contains her version of Come Next Monday which was K.T. Oslin's final chart topper in 1990. 1987 saw Rodman release her second CD called A Place Called Love. It started with Girls Ride Horses Too which hit #7. Her next hit came from an unexpected source. Bob Dylan professed to be a Rodman fan and decided to send her one of his compositions: I'll Be Your Baby Tonight (#5 in 1987). Her last major hit was in 1988 with I Want A Love Like That (#18). She appeared on the chart with two more songs that were not put on a CD: Goin' To Work and I Can Love You. While she was on the chart with the latter, MTM folded leaving her homeless (along with the Girls Next Door, Schuyler, Knobloch & Bickhardt, and Dunn with others). Not only is Rodman a fine singer, but a songwriter as well. She plays guitar and piano. After MTM went bankrupt, she went back to being a backup singer and started writing songs with a vengeance. One of her songs, Demons And Angels ended up being on Diamond Rio's 1992 CD, Close To The Edge. However, four years later she saw her name at the top of the page when LeAnn Rimes collected her only #1 with the Rodman penned One Way Ticket Because I Can. What is Rodman up to these days? Well, she decided to be a vocal coach and began working with a ton of artists. Her method is called Power, Path, And Performance which can be purchased on her website. She continues to write to this day. This is what the chart looked like back then:
BILLBOARD TOP TEN FOR WEEK ENDING JULY 19, 1986: 1. UNTIL I MET YOU-JUDY RODMAN-MTM 2. On The Other Hand-Randy Travis-Warner Bros. 3. Love At The Five And Dime-Kathy Mattea-Mercury 4. I Wish That I Could Hurt That Way Again-T. Graham Brown-Capitol 5. Nobody In His Right Mind Would've Left Her-George Strait-MCA 6. All Tied Up-Ronnie McDowell-MCA 7. Rockin' With The Rhythm Of The Rain-the Judds-RCA 8. You're The Last Thing I Needed Tonight-John Schneider-MCA 9. Savin' My Love For You-Pake McEntire-RCA 10. Hearts Aren't Made To Break They're Made To Love-Lee Greenwood-MCA

1. 5-1-5-0-IS-#1: Dierks Bentley collects the tenth #1 in his career with 5-1-5-0. It is the third #1 hit off his Home CD as Am I The Only One topped the chart last year and the title track did so this year. Furthermore, Home is his first CD to contain a trio of #1s. He came close with his Feel That Fire CD: two #1s (title track in 2009 and Sideways in 2009) plus a #2: I Wanna Make You Close Your Eyes (2010). Second, this is his second time having three consecutive chart toppers. His first hat trick: 1. Come A Little Closer-2005-chart wise, his biggest hit 2. Settle For A Slowdown-2006 3. Every Mile A Memory-2006 In the weird fact department, 5-1-5-0 is the first country chart topper to consist of just numbers. Dolly Parton came close in 1981 with 9 To 5 (or 9 2 5). 2. A HIGH RIDE: Jason Aldean has the best start with one of his singles as Take A Little Ride debuts at #19. This is the second highest debuting single this year as the Kenny Chesney/Tim McGraw duet, Feel Like A Rock Star started at #13. This is Aldean's first time charting from a CD not associated with My Kinda Party in two years. 3. THEIR BIGGEST: Two artists are currently in the top five for the first time: Gloriana at #3 with Kissed You Good Night and Love And Theft at #5 with Angel Eyes. 4. ABOUT TIME: Ending a near two year drought in the top ten is Josh Turner's Time Is Love at #10. This is his sixth top ten and first since 2010's All Over Me (#1). 5. A FAST KISS: Luke Bryan has the fastest climbing song of the week as Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye smooches up ten to #45. 6. THEIR THIRD: American Idol winner, Scotty McCreery makes it to the top 40 a third time with Water Tower Town (at #40). His other top 40 appearances are: I Love You This Big-#15 in 2011 and The Trouble With Girls-#17 in 2012. The runner up, Lauren Alaina makes it to the chart for the third time as she debuts with Eighteen Inches (at #55). Her other appearances are: Like My Mother Does-#36 in 2011 and Georgia Peaches-#28 in 2012. 7. AN 80S LOOK: These were the chart topping hits during the last week of July during the 1980s: 1980: Dancin' Cowboys-Bellamy Brothers-Warner Bros. 1981: Dixie On My Mind-Hank Williams, Jr.-Elektra 1982: I Don't Care-Ricky Skaggs-Epic 1983: I Always Get Lucky With You-George Jones-Epic 1984: Angel In Disguise-Earl Thomas Conley-RCA 1985: Forty Hour Week For A Livin'-Alabama-RCA 1986: Nobody In His Right Mind Would've Left Her-George Strait-MCA 1987: Snap Your Fingers-Ronnie Milsap-RCA 1988: Don't We All Have The Right-Ricky Van Shelton-Columbia 1989: Cathy's Clown-Reba McEntire-MCA 8. MILESTONE TOP TEN CHART: Kenny Chesney has been on the charts for almost two decades. He collected his fifth chart topping hit, The Good Stuff ten years ago this week which ended up being his biggest hit ever. Chesney released his debut CD in 1994 called In My Wildest Dreams on the Capricorn label. It went nowhere as its three singles were not big hits (one of them will de discussed later). After that CD ran its course, Chesney was dropped by Capricorn and signed to the BNA label (BNA would release In My Wildest Dreams after he achieved superstar status). His debut for BNA, All I Need To Know produced his breakthrough hit, Fall In Love in 1995 (#6) and the title track (#8). Grandpa Told Me So faltered at #23 in 1996. Me And You, his second BNA CD started with a single that peaked at #41: Back In My Arms Again (1996). Then he collected the first two #2 hits (out of ten) in his career with the title track (1996) and When I Close My Eyes (1997). His 1997 CD, I Will Stand took Chesney to a new plateau when She's Got It All became his first chart topping hit. He followed that with a near top ten in A Chance (#11 in 1998). Then another #2 was produced in That's Why I'm Here. The title track peaked at #27 in 1998. 1999 started with a bang with the release of the Everywhere We Go CD. He landed his biggest hit of the decade with How Forever Feels (six weeks at #1). He followed it with another #1, his first time charting consecutive #1s with You Had Me From Hello. Then, his most popular recurrent, She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy peaked at #11 in 2000. The fourth single, What I Need To Do hit #8. After five years at BNA, it was time for a greatest hits CD. All three singles pulled from the CD became major hits: 1. I Lost It-2000-#3 2. Don't Happen Twice-2001-#1 3. The Tin Man-2001-#19-a rerecording from his debut CD The CD is certified at the quadruple platinum level. His follow up CD, No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems was next and it started on a #2 note with Young in 2002. The Good Stuff was next and it was released in April and climbed all the way to #1 in July. It topped the chart for seven weeks. BOTH the American Country Countdown and Billboard named it their top song for the year. A Lot Of Things Different (#6 in 2003), Big Star (#2 in 2003), and No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems (#2 in 2003) were the other hits off the album. The Chesney hit machine continued producing hit after hit. He also put out one platinum CD after another. He sold the most concert tickets over ANY other artist during the 2000s. His efforts were duly noted by the A.C.M. and C.M.A. as each organization gave him Entertainer of the Year four times. He recently released his thirteenth studio CD, Welcome To The Fishbowl which debuted at #1 country and #2 top 200. It started with his highest debut ever, a duet with Tim McGraw on Feel Like A Rock Star (at #13). It peaked at #11 a few weeks later. His second single, Come Over is at #2. If it hits #1, it will be the twenty-second of his career. This is what the chart looked like back then:
BILLBOARD TOP TEN FOR WEEK ENDING JULY 27, 2002: 1. THE GOOD STUFF-KENNY CHESNEY-BNA 2. Courtesy Of The Red, White, And Blue The Angry American-Toby Keith-Dreamworks 3. Not A Day Goes By-Lonestar-BNA 4. The One-Gary Allan-MCA 5. My Heart Is Lost To You-Brooks & Dunn-Arista 6. I'm Gonna Miss Her The Fishin' Song-Brad Paisley-Arista 7.

1. COME OVER TO #1 CHESNEY: Kenny Chesney collects chart topper #22 in his career with Come Over. What this chart achievement does for Chesney: 1. It puts him at #14 on the list of those artists with the most #1s. At #13 is Tim McGraw with 23 chart toppers and at #15 is Buck Owens with 21 #1s. 2. It gives Chesney a 67th week at #1. He moves past Sonny James for eighth place. The top ten: 1. Eddy Arnold-145 2. Webb Pierce-111 3. George Strait-84 4. Hank Williams, Sr.-82 5. Buck Owens-82 6. Johnny Cash-69 7. Tim McGraw-68 8. Kenny Chesney-67 9. Sonny James-66 10. Marty Robbins-63 3. This was established when Reality hit the top this year, but it gives Chesney a 12th consecutive year topping the charts. The years and hits are: 2001-Don't Happen Twice 2002-The Good Stuff-chart wise, his biggest hit 2003-There Goes My Life 2004-When The Sun Goes Down-with Uncle Kracker 2005-Anything But Mine 2006-Living In Fast Forward and Summertime 2007-Beer In Mexico, Never Wanted Nothing More, and Don't Blink 2008-Better As A Memory and Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven with the Wailers 2009-Down The Road with Mac McAnally and Out Last Night 2010-The Boys Of Fall 2011-Somewhere With You and Live A Little 2012-Reality and Come Over 2. A LITTLE BIG TOP TEN: Reaching the top ten for the fourth time is Little Big Town with Pontoon (#9). It is their first in almost two years as Little White Church hit #6 in 2010. 3. HIS 28TH AND 2ND: Collecting his 28th consecutive top ten hit is Keith Urban's For You (#10). It is from the Act Of Valor soundtrack and the second in his career that is not on an Urban CD. His first one was Start A Band with Brad Paisley (#1 in 2009). That was from the Paisley CD Play. 4. A LOT OF BEER: The same week Beers Ago is relegated to the recurrent chart, Toby Keith has the Hot Shot Debut at #28 with I Like Girls That Drink Beer. 5. FAST INCHES: Lauren Alaina has the fastest climbing song of the week as Eighteen Inches climbs seven inches to #48. 6. AN 80S LOOK PART II: These were the top selling albums during the first week of August during the 1980s: 1980: Urban Cowboy-Soundtrack-Asylum 1981: Feels So Right-Alabama-RCA 1982: Always On My Mind-Willie Nelson-Columbia 1983: The Closer You Get-Alabama-RCA 1984: Major Moves-Hank Williams, Jr.-Warner Bros. 1985: 40-Hour Week-Alabama-RCA 1986: Storms Of Life-Randy Travis-Warner Bros. 1987: Always & Forever-Randy Travis-Warner Bros. 1988: Alabama Live-Alabama-RCA 1989: Sweet Sixteen-Reba McEntire-MCA 7. MILESTONE TOP TEN CHART: Garth Brooks had the #1 hit fourteen years ago this week from a soundtrack. He would later include it in his first boxed set. The song was To Make You Feel My Love. 1997 was a very good year for Brooks. He was in the middle of a successful tour and was preparing to release his Sevens CD. However, the first hit of the year did NOT come from one of his CDs. That honor belongs to Trisha Yearwood (his future wife). She released the first single from her first greatest hits CD, Songbook-A Collection Of Hits called In Another's Eyes. It spent two weeks at #2. The duet would be included on Sevens. Between the time that song peaked until the first single from Sevens, Longneck Bottle was released, Brooks won his third C.M.A. Entertainer of the Year Award (his first win since 1992). Longneck Bottle was a three week #1 in late 1997. His next two singles were top two hits in 1998: She's Gonna Make It (#2) and Two Pina Coladas (#1). Then the Hope Floats movie was released. It starred Sandra Bullock, Gena Rowlands, and Harry Connick, Jr.. The movie has grossed over $81 million. The soundtrack topped the country chart for nine weeks, besting the Urban Cowboy soundtrack for the longest stay on top for soundtracks (Cowboy was #1 for eight weeks. O Brother, Where Art Thou is the leader at 35 weeks between 2001-2002). To Make You Feel My Love was the first single. It was released in May and made its way to #1 in August, becoming Brooks' 18th chart topper. It became the first song written by Bob Dylan to top the country chart. Dylan came close in 1987 when Judy Rodman made I'll Be Your Baby Tonight a #5 hit. It also peaked at #8 on the adult contemporary chart, becoming Brooks' first hit there. Ever the savvy marketer for his music (after all, he did graduate from Oklahoma State University with a degree in advertising), Brooks included the song in his first box set called The Limited Series to celebrate his tenth anniversary of signing with Capitol Records. His first six studio CDs were rereleased with a new song added to each CD. The CDs and new songs were: 1. Garth Brooks-Uptown Down Home Good Ol' Boy 2. No Fences-This Ain't Tennessee 3. Ropin' The Wind-Which One Of Them 4. The Chase-Something With A Ring To It 5. In Pieces-Anonymous 6. Fresh Horses-To Make You Feel My Love The box set sold two million physical copies, making it twelve times platinum. How the RIAA handled it was to simply add two million to each CD's sales. Fresh from those successes, Brooks continued to chart four more hits in 1998: 1. Burnin' The Roadhouse Down-with Steve Wariner, who wrote Longneck Bottle-#26 2. You Move Me-#3 3. Where Your Road Leads-with Yearwood-#18 4. It's Your Song-#9 While Brooks was on the chart with title #3, he picked up his fourth and final Entertainer of the Year from the C.M.A.. 1999 was the year Brooks became the Artist of the Decade from the A.C.M.. He took a weird turn that year when he decided to release a CD as a character called Chris Gaines for a movie that was never released: The Lamb. In 2000, Capitol Records celebrated Brooks' 100 million CDs sold. In 2001, Brooks released his Scarecrow CD which was his last for Capitol. He left the label in 2004 and entered an agreement with WalMart to release his second box set, also called The Limited Series. It spawned a top ten hit in Good Ride Cowboy in 2005 (#3). It was his tribute to Chris LeDoux, who died earlier in the year. That song was on the chart when he married Yearwood. Two major events happened in 2007: The Hope Floats soundtrack was rereleased. This version does not have the Brooks song on it. Second, Brooks ended his 'semi-retirement' by releasing The Ultimate Hits. A new song, More Than A Memory debuted at #1, becoming the first song to do so. The only thing Brooks is up to these days is doing a residence in Las Vegas with Yearwood. He said he will be touring in 2014 when his youngest daughter graduates from high school. This is what the chart looked like back then: BILLBOARD TOP TEN FOR WEEK ENDING AUGUST 1, 1998: 1. TO MAKE YOU FEEL MY LOVE-GARTH BROOKS-CAPITOL 2. Now That I Found You-Terri Clark-Mercury 3. There's Your Trouble-Dixie Chicks-Monument 4. I Can Still Feel You-Collin Raye-Epic 5. There Goes My Baby-Trisha Yearwood-MCA 6. Happy Girl-Martina McBride-RCA 7. From This Moment On-Shania Twain and Bryan White-Mercury 8. Just To Hear You Say That You Love Me-Faith Hill and Tim McGraw-Warner Bros. 9. I'm Alright-Jo Dee Messina-Curb 10. True-George Strait-MCA Video: video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7627370036512835426

1. CHESNEY EQUALS MCGRAW: Kenny Chesney is spending his second week at #1 with Come Over. He is also touring with Tim McGraw on their blockbuster, Brothers Of The Sun tour.

She becomes the second female artist on the Elektra label to land a top ten with her debut single. Crystal Gayle was first with 'Til I Gain Control Again (#1 in 1983). The only difference is that Gayle was an established artist in 1983 while Kramer is new this year. 3. THEY'RE BACK: The original Lonestar that is. They are on this week's chart with The Countdown (at #59). They consist of Richie McDonald, Michael Britt, Keech Rainwater, and Dean Sams. The last time those four were on the chart together is when they peaked at #51 with Nothing To Prove in 2007. This is their 4 Star debut as well. 4. A TIE: We have two songs taking eleven point jumps for fastest climbers of the week. They are: 1. Cruise-Florida Georgia Line-#54 to #43 2. Kick It In The Sticks-Brantley Gilbert-#55 to #44 5. HIS CURB DEBUT: Andy Gibson debuts at #60 with Summer Back. This is his first single being promoted by Curb Records from the start. His last, Wanna Make You Love Me (#27 this year) was released on the R&J label. Gibson then signed to Curb while that single was about to peak on the chart. 6. #1 HITS: These were the chart topping hits in 2007, 2002, 1997, 1992, and 1987: 2007: Never Wanted Nothing More-Kenny Chesney-BNA 2002: The Good Stuff-Kenny Chesney-BNA 1997: Carrying Your Love With Me-George Strait-MCA 1992: Boot Scootin' Boogie-Brooks & Dunn-Arista 1987: One Promise Too Late-Reba McEntire-MCA 7. MILESTONE TOP TEN CHART: Arista Records released Alan Jackson's first greatest hits CD in 1995. Eight years later, it was time for volume two. A new song from the set blew the roof off for Jackson as it became his biggest hit. It's Five O'Clock Somewhere topped the chart nine years ago this week and Jackson shared the spotlight with Jimmy Buffett. Greatest Hits Volume II...And Some Other Stuff is a two CD release featuring sixteen hits, two new songs, and eight album cuts. The track listing is as follows: Disc 1: 1. Little Bitty-1996-#1 2. Everything I Love-1997-#9 3. Who's Cheatin' Who-1997-#2 4. There Goes-1997-#1 5. I'll Go On Loving You-1998-#3 6. Right On The Money-1999-#1 7. Gone Crazy-1999-#4 8. Little Man-1999-#3 9. Pop A Top-1999-#6 10. The Blues Man-2000-#37 11. It Must Be Love-2000-#1 12. http://www.memory-2000-#6 13. When Somebody Loves You-2001-#5 14. Where I Come From-2001-#1 15. Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning-2001-#1 16. Drive For Daddy Gene-2002-#1 17. It's Five O'Clock Somewhere-with Jimmy Buffett-2003-#1-chart wise, his biggest hit 18. Remember When-2004-#1 Disc 2: 1. Job Description 2. Tropical Depression 3. Let's Get Back To Me And You 4. You Can't Give Up On Love 5. Hole In The Wall 6. Buicks To The Moon 7. When Love Comes Around 8. The Sounds It's Five O'Clock Somewhere was released in June and made its way to #1 in August. Jackson/Buffett ruled the chart for seven weeks. They were replaced by Dierks Bentley who scored his first #1 with What Was I Thinkin'. Then Jackson/Buffett returned to #1 for an eighth week in October. Five O'Clock replaced Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning as Jackson's biggest hit and Margaritaville as Buffett's biggest hit (#13 in 1977). It also peaked at #17 on the Hot 100, becoming the biggest pop hit of Jackson's career. Not so for Buffett. His biggest pop hit is the aformentioned Margaritaville (#8 in 1977). The American Country Countdown named it its top song of the year. The second new song, Remember When matched Five O'Clock's chart topping status, but stayed there for two weeks in early 2004. Since Five O'Clock, Buffett started to chart country hits with some regularity. They are: 1. Hey Good Lookin'-with Clint Black, Kenny Chesney, Jackson, Toby Keith, and George Strait-2004-#8 2. Trip Around The Sun-with Martina McBride-2004-#20 3. Knee Deep-with the Zac Brown Band-2011-#1 Five O'Clock would resurface on Jackson's 2010 CD, 34 Number Ones. Right after that CD was released, Jackson left Arista Records after 22 years on the label. He signed to the EMI label in 2011. He is currently on the charts with his Thirty Miles West CD. This is what the chart looked like back then:
BILLBOARD TOP TEN FOR WEEK ENDING AUGUST 9, 2003: 1. IT'S FIVE O'CLOCK SOMEWHERE-ALAN JACKSON AND JIMMY BUFFETT-ARISTA 2. Red Dirt Road-Brooks & Dunn-Arista 3. No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems-Kenny Chesney-BNA 4. Celebrity-Brad Paisley-Arista 5. Beer For My Horses-Toby Keith and Willie Nelson-Dreamworks 6. My Front Porch Looking In-Lonestar-BNA 7. Forever And For Always-Shania Twain-Mercury 8. Real Good Man-Tim McGraw-Curb 9. What Was I Thinkin'-Dierks Bentley-Capitol 10. 99.9% Sure I've Never Been Here Before-Brian McComas-Lyric Street

1. AN L&T #1: Love And Theft have been through a lot. Ever since their debut in 2009, their first label, Carolwood Records (a subsidiary label of Lyric Street) shut down. Then, a member of the trio left. Well, after three years they (Eric Gunderson and Stephen Barker Liles) have their first #1 in Angel Eyes. They become the first duo since Sugarland to start as a trio and then land their first chart topping hit. Sugarland started as a trio when Twice The Speed Of Life was released in 2004. Then Kristen Hall left and the duo, Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush landed their first #1 off their second CD, Enjoy The Ride with Want To in 2006. Furthermore, Love And Theft become the first duo on RCA to have a #1 since the Judds did it in 1989 with Let Me Tell You About Love. 2. BACK TO #2: After dipping to #3 last week, Gloriana returns to #2 with Kissed You Good Night. They first peaked at #2 when Kenny Chesney was at #1 with Come Over. 3. ALAINA FAST: Lauren Alaina has the fastest climbing song of the week as Eighteen Inches moves seven to #41. 4. #1 CDS: These were the top selling CDs in 2007, 2002, 1997, 1992, and 1987: 2007: Taylor Swift-Taylor Swift-Big Machine 2002: Unleashed-Toby Keith-Dreamworks 1997: Everywhere-Tim McGraw-Curb 1992: Some Gave All-Billy Ray Cyrus-Mercury 1987: Always & Forever-Randy Travis-Warner Bros. 5. LYNN'S 50: This year marks the 50th anniversary of Loretta Lynn being signed to Decca Records. She was on the chart with her first hit for them, Success (#6 in 1962). These are her 50 biggest hits. For #1 and #2 hits, weeks in those positions are first followed by weeks in the top 40. For all other songs, their stay in the top 40 will determine their ranking. Ready? 1. After The Fire Is Gone-with Conway Twitty-1971-2-14 2. One's On The Way-1972-2-14 3. Love Is The Foundation-1973-2-13 4. Somebody Somewhere Don't Know What He's Missin' Tonight-1976-2-12 5.

Blue Kentucky Girl-1965 (#7) 44. If You're Not Gone Too Long-1967 (#7) 45. Lovin' What Your Lovin' Does To Me-with Conway Twitty-1981 (#7) 46. Why Can't He Be You-1977 (#7) 47. I Lie-1982 (#9) 48. You Know Just What I'd Do-with Conway Twitty-1980 (#9) 49. The Home You're Tearin' Down-1965 (#10) 50. Home-1975 (#10) 6. MILESTONE TOP TEN CHART: Loretta Lynn collected her 50th top ten hit 31 years ago this week when her duet with Conway Twitty, I Still Believe In Waltzes peaked at #2. Lynn became the first female artist to have that many top tens. Lynn became the first female Entertainer of the Year from the C.M.A. (1972) and A.C.M. (1976). She remains the ONLY female winner of the Artist of the Decade from the A.C. M. (1970s). Since Lynn's accomplishment, only Dolly Parton (Those Memories Of You with Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt-1987-#5) and Reba McEntire (One Honest Heart-1999-#7) have at least 50 top tens as far as female artists are concerned. This is what the chart looked like back then:
BILLBOARD TOP TEN FOR WEEK ENDING AUGUST 15, 1981: 1. I Don't Need You-Kenny Rogers-Liberty 2. I STILL BELIEVE IN WALTZES-LORETTA LYNN AND CONWAY TWITTY-MCA 3. There's No Gettin' Over Me-Ronnie Milsap-RCA 4. Rainbow Stew-Merle Haggard-MCA 5. It's Now Or Never-John Schneider-Scotti Bros. 6. Older Women-Ronnie McDowell-Epic 7. Too Many Lovers-Crystal Gayle-Columbia 8. You Don't Know Me-Mickey Gilley-Epic 9. Tight Fittin' Jeans-Conway Twitty-MCA 10. Don't Wait On Me-Statler Brothers-Mercury

1. SHELTON'S OVER AT #1: Blake Shelton has collected his seventh consecutive #1 and twelfth overall with Over. Those seven in a row chart toppers are: 1. Hillbilly Bone-with Trace Adkins-2010 2. All About Tonight-2010 3. Who Are You When I'm Not Looking-2011 4. Honey Bee-2011 5. God Gave Me You-2011 6. Drink On It-2012 7. Over-2012 The last four are from his Red River Blue CD. That CD joins an illustrious list of country albums to have four #1s. They are: 1. Don't Make It Easy For Me-Earl Thomas Conley-RCA 2. Roll On-Alabama-RCA 3. Why Not Me-the Judds-RCA 4. Rockin' With The Rhythm-the Judds-RCA 5. Lost In The Fifties Tonight-Ronnie Milsap-RCA 6. Hang On To Your Heart-Exile-Epic 7. Wheels-Restless Heart-RCA 8. Always & Forever-Randy Travis-Warner Bros. 9. King's Record Shop-Rosanne Cash-Columbia 10. The Heart Of It All-Earl Thomas Conley-RCA 11. Southern Star-Alabama-RCA 12. Killin' Time-Clint Black-RCA 13. No Fences-Garth Brooks-Capitol 14. Don't Rock The Jukebox-Alan Jackson-Arista 15. Brand New Man-Brooks & Dunn-Arista 16. I Still Believe In You-Vince Gill-MCA 17. Alibis-Tracy Lawrence-Atlantic 18. Who I Am-Alan Jackson-Arista 19. The Woman In Me-Shania Twain-Mercury 20. Everywhere-Tim McGraw-Curb 21. A Place In The Sun-Tim McGraw-Curb 22. Lonely Grill-Lonestar-BNA 23. Set This Circus Down-Tim McGraw-Curb 24. If You're Going Through Hell-Rodney Atkins-Curb 25. Golden Road-Keith Urban-Capitol 26. Time Well Wasted-Brad Paisley-Arista 27. Carnival Ride-Carrie Underwood-Arista 28. The Foundation-Zac Brown Band-Atlantic 29. You Get What You Give-Zac Brown Band-Atlantic 30. Hemingway's Whiskey-Kenny Chesney-BNA 31. Red River Blue-Blake Shelton-Warner Bros. 2. A TAYLOR MADE DEBUT: Debuting at #13, her lucky number is Taylor Swift with We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together. It is tied with another song that debuted at #13 this year: Feel Like A Rock Star by Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw. Those two songs share the second highest debut ever. The champion is Garth Brooks who debuted at the top with More Than A Memory in 2007. Swift has the highest debut for a female artist. She pushes Carrie Underwood to #2. Underwood's So Small started at #20 in 2007. 3. HE'S HOPING FOR FOUR #1S AS WELL: Blake Shelton is celebrating chart topper #4 from Red River Blue. Dierks Bentley would like to do the same with his Home CD. He debuts at #50 with the fourth single from that CD with Tip It On Back. If that song goes the distance, it will be the fourth chart topper from Home following: 1. Am I The Only One-2011 2. Home-2012 3. 5-1-5-0-2012 4. PONTOON BIG: Pontoon is now officially Little Big Town's biggest hit. It is at #3 for the week, their first top three hit. 5. HER MAMA IS FAST: Maggie Rose has the fastest climbing song of the week with I Ain't Your Mama (#46 to #40). 6. #1 HITS: These were the chart topping songs in 2007, 2002, 1997, 1992, and 1987: 2007: Never Wanted Nothing More-Kenny Chesney-BNA 2002: The Good Stuff-Kenny Chesney-BNA 1997: Come Cryin' To Me-Lonestar-BNA 1992: Boot Scootin' Boogie-Brooks & Dunn-Arista 1987: Why Does It Have To Be Wrong Or Right-Restless Heart-RCA 7. MILESTONE TOP TEN CHART: We recently lost Kitty Wells. She will forever be known as the Queen of Country Music. She became the first solo female artist to land a #1 hit. She did so 60 years ago this week with It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels. Hers was an answer song to Hank Thompson's The Wild Side Of Life. Both songs ended up being the biggest of their careers. She joined the Grand Ole Opry after Angels hit #1. Wells would go on to score another 34 top tens between 1953 to 1965. Wells would score two more #1s: One By One with Red Foley in 1954 and Heartbreak U.S.A. in 1961. She would score a monster #2 hit in 1955 called Makin' Believe. By staying at #2 for 15 weeks, it became the biggest #2 hit in country music. She married Johnny Wright in 1937. He had a successful career twice. He was part of a duo called Johnnie & Jack that scored 15 top 40 hits between 1951 to 1962. Their biggest hit was their only #1: Oh Baby Mine I Get So Lonely in 1954. He would go on to have a successful solo career, collecting a sextet of top 40 hits between 1964 to 1966, the biggest of those being Hello Vietnam (#1 in 1965). Even their children managed to chart in country. Ruby, born in 1939 had Dern Ya as her biggest hit (#13 in 1964) and Bobby, born in 1942 had Here I Go Again as his biggest hit (#13 in 1971). Getting back to Wells, she was inducted to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1976. She received the Pioneer Award from the A.C.M. in 1986 and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Grammys in 1991. She toured with Wright between the 1930s to the 1990s. They both called it a day in 2000. Wright died in 2011, a month shy of their 74th anniversary, the longest of ANY celebrity couple (where BOTH spouses are in the entertainment business). Had Wells lived next week, she would have celebrated her 93rd birthday. Rest in peace, Kitty! This is what the chart looked like back then:
BILLBOARD TOP TEN FOR WEEK ENDING AUGUST 23, 1952: 1. IT WASN'T GOD WHO MADE HONKY TONK ANGELS-KITTY WELLS-DECCA 2. The Wild Side Of Life-Hank Thompson-Capitol 3. A Full Time Job-Eddy Arnold-RCA 4. Lady's Man-Hank Snow-RCA 5. Are You Teasing Me-Carl Smith-Columbia 6. Almost-George Morgan-Columbia 7. Indian Love Call-Slim Whitman-Imperial 8. Jambalaya On The Bayou-Hank Williams-MGM 9. Waiting In The Lobby Of Your Heart-Hank Thompson-Capitol 10. That Heart Belongs To Me-Webb Pierce-Decca

Yup, it's a cover of Adele's 2011 multi-format No. 1. The song appears on Nail's new three-song EP, "1979" (the year he was born).

^ Is this David Nail's new single, or just unsolicited airplay?
The Sound Of A Million Dreams had so many incredible songs. ("Song's For Sale" really should've been the 2nd single) It would be a shame to see such quality material go to waste.

SLY is not the new David Nail single. It is getting airplay on just a few stations, the big one being WUSN in Chicago (2nd biggest station, behind only KKGO in Los Angeles). David won't be releasing another single off his last album.

David's solid rendition of that Adele classic has also aired intermittently on Whitney Allen's wonderful syndicated show.

David won't be releasing another single off his last album. :'( Honestly, this has to be one of the biggest disappointments to me in a long time. Such an incredible album (still one of my favorites) which showed such promise when the first single reached #1. Wow.

David won't be releasing another single off his last album. :'( Honestly, this has to be one of the biggest disappointments to me in a long time. Such an incredible album (still one of my favorites) which showed such promise when the first single reached #1. Wow. It took a lot of effort to get "Let It Rain" to #1. Of course, I'm not trying to take anything away from David's achievement with that song. But they went with a risky choice for the 2nd single and it didn't pay off. I still think "She Rides Away" is a GEM (maybe I'll contact co-writer Eric Paslay and tell him to release it) and woulda been a big hit had it come 2nd, but oh well. I think the main reason is because of the changes over at UMG. Mike Dungan is in charge there now and it seems likely that he's having David and some of the other newer/less-established artists re-group. I have a lot of faith in Dungan's ability to break acts (see Urban, Keith; Bentley, Dierks; Church, Eric; Bryan, Luke; and Lady Antebellum) and I think that's what's been missing at UMG. It may take some time but I think David has potential to come back bigger again in 2013, despite leaving some strong songs unreleased from this album. UMG doesn't have the superstars that the other big labels have. I hate to put it so bluntly, but George Strait's days are winding down, Shania Twain will never be what she once was, and I'm not even sure what to think about Sugarland. Gary Allan always kinda flew under the radar and probably has a few hits left but I don't see him becoming any bigger than he has been. So that really leaves UMG with a lot of newer names, with their biggest acts being Billy Currington, Josh Turner, David Nail, Kip Moore, Easton Corbin, Scotty McCreery, and Lauren Alaina (included those last 2 because of AI--they have potential yet). I'm really interested to see if Dungan can turn some of the newer acts there (including some of those that have only recently signed with UMG) into big names like he did with the staple artists of Capitol/EMI.

SLY is not the new David Nail single. It is getting airplay on just a few stations, the big one being WUSN in Chicago (2nd biggest station, behind only KKGO in Los Angeles). David won't be releasing another single off his last album. I know I said this last year, but seeing David Nail's version of "Someone Like You" charting with unsolicited airplay brings it back to my mind again. I think it's one of the biggest mistakes of LeAnn Rimes' career that she didn't include her rendition on her covers album that came out last year. Country radio is obviously very receptive to the song if a David Nail remake can chart without even being a single. I really think that her version could have brought her back to radio, and given her her first hit in years.
