Patty Loveless "Timber I'm Falling In Love"
This is the song that got me hooked on her at the time. It peaked at #2. I was SHOCKED to realize this song stalled at #2 when another single, "Chains" from the same album went #1 instead. The melody and vocals just blew me away especially since Vince Gill did harmony on the song.
Reba "The Fear of Being Alone"
Again, a song who's melody struck me right away and was a instant hit in my mind.

I have Timber, I'm Falling In Love as the first of five chart toppers for Patty Loveless. Here is the chart where she had her first #1: BILLBOARD TOP TEN FOR WEEK ENDING AUGUST 12, 1989: 1. TIMBER, I'M FALLING IN LOVE-PATTY LOVELESS-MCA 2. Sunday In The South-Shenandoah-Columbia 3. Are You Ever Gonna Love Me-Holly Dunn-Warner Bros. 4. Love Has No Right-Billy Joe Royal-Atlantic America 5. Any Way The Wind Blows-Southern Pacific-Warner Bros. 6. I'm Still Crazy-Vern Gosdin-Columbia 7. I Wonder Do You Think Of Me-Keith Whitley-RCA 8. More Than A Name On A Wall-Statler Brothers-Mercury 9. This Woman-K.T. Oslin-RCA 10. Never Givin' Up On Love-Michael Martin Murphey-Warner Bros. P.S.: You're right about everything else!

I Couldn't Leave You If I Tried-Rodney Crowell-Columbia Thanks for sharing!! The album, 1988's "If My Heart Had Windows" that "A Little Bit in Love" came from is my 2nd favorite album of Patty's. 1988's "Honky Tonk Angel" that Timber I'm Falling In Love" came from is my all time favorite! Both albums in my opinion showcase her vocals perfectly more so then her later mainstream albums. Take a listen to these songs off "If My Heart Had Windows"You Saved MeWorking Man's Hands""Fly Away" (no link sorry) "Once In A Lifetime" (no link sorry)

Randy Travis would have been the second artist to take two versions of a song to #1 had I Told You So, his duet with Carrie Underwood topped the chart in 2009. He would have followed Dolly Parton, who took two versions of I Will Always Love You to the top in 1974 and 1982.

Porter Wagoner would have had #1s during the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s had his duet with Dolly Parton, Making Plans from 1980 reached the top.

I'm surprised no one mentioned Chris young's lonely eyes and it's been almost a year since it got stalled at no.2. If Zac brown band's homegrown and Sam hunt's take your time didn't catch up to Chris it would've gone all the way

Dixie Chicks' "Long Time Gone" and "Landslide" are the first ones that come to mind (and both were back-to-back #02's" "Home" is such a brilliant album, it deserved more than just one #01

Dixie Chicks' "Long Time Gone" Courtesy of "The Good Stuff" by Kenny Chesney. Actually, Kenny's lead in spins and audience was by a wide margin, so even though "Long Time Gone" got to #2, nobody was unseating Kenny when "The Good Stuff" spent those weeks at #1.

Burning House, if talking about Billboard peaks This is onebuffalo's thread, so yes, he's a Billboard guy. :) Technically, it's everyone's thread. I'll say that had Conway Twitty hit the top in 1989 with She's Got A Single Thing In Mind, MCA would have had four #1s in a row. The other three are: 1. What's Going On In Your World-George Strait 2. Cathy's Clown-Reba McEntire 3. Timber, I'm Falling In Love-Patty Loveless

One of the songs I’ll always be sour about not reaching #1 in my lifetime is John Michael Montgomery’s “Letters From Home”. It even ended up placing higher on the year end chart than the song that blocked it I think which was Gretchen Wilson’s “Redneck Woman”. The other song that leaves a sour taste in my mouth that peaked at #2 is Lonestar’s “Everything’s Changed” but don’t remember the song off my head that blocked it.

The other song that leaves a sour taste in my mouth that peaked at #2 is Lonestar’s “Everything’s Changed” but don’t remember the song off my head that blocked it. You're correct about Letters From Home. It was Gretchen Wilson's debut single, Redneck Woman that blocked John Michael Montgomery from the top. I covered that in Their Biggest #2 thread: John Michael Montgomery has a quartet of #2 hits. They are: 1. Friends-1997 2. How Was I To Know-1997 3. Home To You-1999 4. Letters From Home-2004 The nod goes to Letters From Home. That was the title track and lead single to his 2004 album. Released in January, it spent four weeks at #2 in May and June and could not dislodge Gretchen Wilson's only chart topper, Redneck Woman from the top. It was Montgomery's 20th and final top ten hit. He faltered a bit with the second and final single, Goes Good With Beer (#51). Artist-John Michael Montgomery Single-Letters From Home Writers-David Lee and Tony Lane Producers-John Michael Montgomery and Byron Gallimore Album-Letters From Home Label-Warner Bros. Year Released-2004 Billboard Peak-#2 BILLBOARD TOP TEN FOR WEEK ENDING MAY 29, 2004: 1. Redneck Woman-Gretchen Wilson-Epic 2. LETTERS FROM HOME-JOHN MICHAEL MONTGOMERY-WARNER BROS. 3. Mayberry-Rascal Flatts-Lyric Street 4. Paint Me A Birmingham-Tracy Lawrence-DreamWorks 5. You'll Think Of Me-Keith Urban-Capitol 6. Desperately-George Strait-MCA 7. When The Sun Goes Down-Kenny Chesney and Uncle Kracker-BNA 8. If You Ever Stop Loving Me-Montgomery Gentry-Columbia 9. Let's Be Us Again-Lonestar-BNA 10. Whiskey Girl-Toby Keith-DreamWorks As far as Lonestar's only #2 hit, Everything's Changed, that was held from the top by Shania Twain's final #1, Honey I'm Home in 1998. Here is a chart and video. Ready? BILLBOARD TOP TEN FOR WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 31, 1998: 1. Honey, I'm Home-Shania Twain-Mercury 2. EVERYTHING'S CHANGED-LONESTAR-BNA 3. Wide Open Spaces-the Dixie Chicks-Monument 4. Where The Green Grass Grows-Tim McGraw-Curb 5. How Do You Fall In Love-Alabama-RCA 6. Don't Laugh At Me-Mark Wills-Mercury 7. Forever Love-Reba McEntire-MCA 8. You Move Me-Garth Brooks-Capitol 9. A Little Past Little Rock-Lee Ann Womack-Decca 10. Nothin' New Under The Moon-LeAnn Rimes-Curb

If I remember right, the Billboard Charts at one time combined sales with airplay for some time until in the late 1990s early 2000s. Many countdown charts used either Mediabase or Radio & Records. Billboard finally seperated Airplay from the Hot 50. If I remember right, Don't Laugh At Me was number 1 and not on Billboard. It fell in the years that everything was tracked under 1 Billboard charts which messed up the radio plays.

The only time he didn’t was from 2009 until 2017 when he used Mediabase. The show still uses Billboard as of this day but Kix Brooks hosts it now. Billboard has used Airplay only from January 20,1990 until present day. The now Hot Country Songs chart uses sales I believe only.

Yeah I read that but I think he's referring to the old Hot Country Songs chart which used to be airplay only and now it is called Country Airplay.

Hot Country Songs changed from airplay on on 10-20-12 to add steaming, sales, and airplay from pop top 40 play. The current Country Airplay chart was created at that time. But i do wish it was really the opposite in that Hot Country Songs was the new chart and Country Airplay the continuation of the old chart.

But i do wish it was really the opposite in that Hot Country Songs was the new chart and Country Airplay the continuation of the old chart. Do you think that both Bob Kingsley and Casey Kasem used something like R&R for a point? Casey helped create American Country Countdown, and Bob Kingsley did fill in for Casey on America's Top 40. Because they may have broken the charts down for having two countdowns. 1 for large markets, and the other for small markets. I remember Don't Laugh At Me Was Number 1 on country radio. Might have been small markets. R&R was owned by Neilsons in the 90s as well. Casey Kasem made a stink about how the Billboard was set up, and then R&R showed up, and Casey used a different chart and Bob Kingsley followed suit. Billboard made a lot of changes in 1983 that hurt the country artists until 1997 or 98 to help the genre to be included in the Hot 100 again without jumping genres. Since R&R is owned by the same parent company of Billboard? 2009 was the year of the merger of R&R and Billboard. It sounded like Bob was using R&R which it is now Billboard Country Indicator Chart. Could be a good excercise to see which songs hit number 1 on there and did not on the mainstream. R&R and Mainstream used to be a mixed of small and large markets. The merger in 2009 changed it all up.

Could be a good excercise to see which songs hit number 1 on there and did not on the mainstream. R&R and Mainstream used to be a mixed of small and large markets. The merger in 2009 changed it all up. I have to break this down in several parts: Kingsley was using R&R at the time "Don't Laugh At Me" went to #1 on R&R. It was always based on one chart, whether it was Billboard, R&R, or now Mediabase. Kasem and Kingsley never used small market charts. R&R was not owned by Nielsen at any point in the 90's. Westwood One owned R&R from 1987-2002. All WW1 countdown shows used the R&R charts. Kasem switched over in 1989 so it's likely Kingsley did around that time. VNU Media bought R&R in 2006, not 2009. As I said above Kingsley was using R&R. But I don't think that R&R's chart became the Country Indicator chart. By mainstream I'm guessing you mean Billboard. That chart has always been large markets.
