The remake of A Country Boy Can Survive with Chad Brock and George Jones hit #30 in 2000 in Billboard. Wasn't that Chad's single though? I guess that counts but I was more talking about Hank Jr.s promoted singles off his albums. That was technically a Chad Brock single as it was from his Yes! CD., but the way it was worded, Hank, Jr. did not have another top 30 hit.

Speaking of flame outs, even though that was obviously timed for Y2K, it lasted just 7 total weeks on R&R with a peak of #24 during the first week of the year.

It was very choppy to say the least. It sounded forced. Can't replace the original.

Any idea why John didn't get any credit for it anywhere? Was he cut from the radio edit?

This is what the liner notes of the Chad Brock CD have to say about the song: A Country Boy Can Survive (Y2K Version) Backing Vocals [Background Vocals] – George Jones (2), Hank Williams Jr. Harmonica, Percussion – Terry McMillan Organ [B-3 Organ] – John Hobbs Steel Guitar [Lap Steel] – Dan Dugmore Written-By – Hank Williams Jr. Why John Anderson was not mentioned, I have no idea. He does not get credit for the song in my top 40 hits book, either.

Seeing since I played the video sabre14 provided, I am amazed by George Jones' vocals on that song. Not bad considering he was the oldest participant in the song.

I still am blown away that "Long Black Train" lasted 38 total weeks on R&R from mid 2003 to early 2004 with a unbulleted peak of #12 (#13 on Billboard). Again, now and days it's much more common for a song to last that long but it was much tougher in 2004. It would probably be equivalent to a 48 week stay if that was 2013 to 2014. Josh's song took close to 20 weeks to crack the top 30 on R&R as well. Whenever I think of long lasting stays on the chart, I get to many songs before I think of "Long Black Train" for some reason. Including other's that didn't make the top 10 either ("Break Down Here", "A Good Man").

^ Coincidentally, I heard Long Black Train just today. I used to be able to hit most of the low notes in the song when it first came out, but over the years, my singing voice actually got higher. Now, thanks to allergies, it's at least temporarily lower again and I was able to sing it down in Josh's range!
They played The Outsiders right before it. THAT was major whiplash.

^ I actually thought of "Long Black Train's" chart run due to hearing it on Y2Kountry on Sirius/XM which is their new channel that plays hits from 2000-2010. The other song's I was thrilled to hear were "The Seashores Of Old Mexico", "Love You", and "That's A Plan". When the Mark McGuinn song came on, I literally turned the radio up as loud as possible and soaked every second of the song in. It's probably been a good 11-12 years since I've heard it on any radio station.
"That's A Plan" peaked at #23 on R&R in October of 2001 by the way, while it's Billboard peak was #25.

Is there some special occurrence why it took them three attempts to chart for good? BTW: A shame for such a good song IMHO to peak at a low #45.

Everyone knows that "More Than A Memory" debuted at #1 on Billboard for the chart issued September 4th, 2007. It also peaked at #4 on Mediabase. It's total audience was roughly 36 million on Billboard, while it's Mediabase audience was 31.8 million. The debut clearly effected the entire chart that week. 11 songs had lost positions yet kept their bullets in the top 50 on MB that week and 13 did likewise on the Billboard top 60. The thing was Garth's song was not the only one stealing spins away--Kenny's "Don't Blink" which debuted at #25 on MB and #16 on Billboard the previous week jumped 10 spots on MB with 2600 point gain, 972 spin gain, and a 6 million audience gain. While on Billboard, though it only jumped two spots, it still gained 5 million in audience.
Because of Garth, and to a lesser extent Kenny, nearly every song had a down week that week. The only song to crack the over 1000 points gained on MB was "Everybody" by Keith Urban (1138). The next closes point gain was Luke Bryan's "All My Friends Say" at 827. Third was George's "How 'Bout Them Cowgirls" (671), and fourth was Josh Turner "Firecracker" (592). Heck songs that would have a high peak would see pretty pedestrian gains like "Free And Easy" by Dierks who gained just 42 points. Carrie's "So Small" gained just 136 points. "If You're Reading This" by Tim McGraw only managed 239 points. The biggest loser that week was "Just Might Have Her Radio On" by Trent Tomlinson. He slipped from #21 to #25 that week, even though he increased 200 total points.

One interesting chart run was "The Good Life" by Trent Willmon. Wikipedia says it was a single but it never got on more than 9 total stations during it's chart run, which a good chunk of it was during "Home Sweet Holiday Inn's" chart run. Therefore I don't believe Columbia ever officially sent it to radio. Get this - it spent 29 total weeks on R&R's chart but never got higher than #40 and never reached double digit in stations. It was able to reach #38 on Billboard.
Trent had a couple weird chart facts. Here were his peaks on R&R/MB and BB.
"Beer Man" (#27 on R&R) (#30 on BB)
"Dixie Rose Deluxe's" (#37 on R&R) (#36 on BB)
"Home Sweet Holiday Inn" (#41 on R&R) (#49 on BB)
"The Good Life" (#40 on R&R) (#38 on BB) only 9 total stations on R&R's panel
"On Again Tonight" (#24 on R&R) (#27 on BB)
"So Am I" (#52 on MB) (#59 on BB)

Bump. :)
I was looking up an old Brady Seals song "I Fell" from 1998. That's definitely one of the biggest peak discrepancies I've ever seen. It got to #40 on R&R but only #55 on Billboard.
Right up there with some of those August/September peaks from 2006 like "Cheapest Motel" by Tracy Byrd and "That's So You" by Rushlow Harris; along with "So Gone" by Buddy Jewell and "One Second Chance" by Jeff Bates.

"We Really Shouldn't Be Doing This" by George Strait had an odd Top 10 run in the last two months of 1998: 7-4-5-8-6-5-10. I wonder what caused that dip?
Miranda's "Baggage Claim" was somewhat similar 13 years later: 10-9-4-5-5-7-4-3-4-8. Again, what caused that hiccup?

"Baggage Claim" just seemed to get overrun by hotter songs at the worst possible time. First "Crazy Girl". Then a slew of songs leaped Miranda as "Baggage Claim" just suddenly slowed way down inside the top 5. "Sparks Fly" jumped over, then "Country Must Be Country Wide" right around Thanksgiving in 2011.
Then just as you think Miranda was going to get to #1 on MB...boom, "Tattoos On This Town" slid in for one week (up from #5) on MB and "Baggage Claim" lost its bullet the following week.

"More Than A Memory" never spent one week outside the top 10 on MB. Every one of it's fourteen charted weeks.

"More Than A Memory" never spent one week outside the top 10 on MB. Every one of it's fourteen charted weeks. Out of its twenty weeks in Billboard, the first fifteen weeks of More Than A Memory were in the top ten. In its sixteenth week, it was at #12 for the 02-02-08 chart and went recurrent after twenty weeks. By that time, Workin' For A Livin', Garth Brooks' duet with Huey Lewis entered the top 25 at #25.

Florida Georgia Line's: "Cruise" spends 100 consecutive weeks in the Country Streaming Songs chart this week [03/14/15] Of these, 99 weeks were inside the Top 10, and for 1 week it slid down to #11 [Christmas 2014 streaming week).

* "Cowboy Take Me Away" followed by "Goodbye Earl" resulted in a very strange fluke. The former lingered in the mid-20s forever because #25 was the recurrent cutoff back then. The latter already had a bunch of weeks racked up as an album cut, then zoomed to #13 before free-falling. Because of that, "Goodbye Earl" was actually gone from the charts BEFORE "Cowboy" was!
* All three of Aaron Lines' Top 40 hits ("Love Changes Everything", "You Can't Hide Beautiful", "Waiting on the Wonderful") entered the Top 40 at #40, fell to #43, then re-entered.
* Pat Green has had his share of chart flukes:
** "Don't Break My Heart Again" hit Top 40 early on, fell out for over a month, then re-entered.
** On 5/23/09, Pat Green had the #39 and #40 spots with "Country Star" and "What I'm For" respectively. I understand that one was pulled for the other, but I wasn't expecting them to cross paths that quickly.
** It was also weird seeing "Feels Just Like It Should" debut already inside the Top 40, then absolutely crawl to a mediocre #13 peak; keep in mind this was well before Clear Channel/On the Verge artificially-inflated debuts.
* One that caught me off guard when listening to ACC was that one week, "Skin" was one of the debuts. The next week, "Skin" was gone and "Fast Cars and Freedom" debuted. I thought they'd screwed up somehow, until I was told that "Skin" was an album cut and managed to bob in and out of the Top 40 a few more times before officially being released later on.
* Finally, what the heck happened with "Dead Flowers" by Miranda Lambert? 59-55-40-42-42-46-42-39-40-38-37-42-44-41-41-gone.
* The one that still baffles me is Pam Tillis falling 1-16 with "Mi Vida Loca (My Crazy Life)". That's a fall from #1 that you usually would've only seen in the 80s. My only guess is that maybe a bundle of songs somewhere in the 2-15 range were all extremely close to each other, and enough songs just barely outpaced her to push her that far down.
* And while not a chart run per se, I have to wonder how Shane Minor had a #20 and #24 hit off his debut album, yet the album sold so horribly that it didn't chart AT ALL. I can't think of any other album that had a top 40, much less top 20, hit but did not enter Top Country Albums. Mercury must've really, REALLY screwed up the marketing.

"What I'm For" debuted at #50 on MB (with 15 stations adding it) the first week of May in 2009. The weird thing is, is that "Country Star" still had a bullet at #31. It of course fell like a rock the next week. I still think "Country Star" was a better song and it would have made the top 20 without them teasing "What I'm For." Pat also had new record deal with BNA and radio fully embraced his new label home and radio tour with "Feels Just Like It Should" having a top 40 debut on R&R in 2006. It did however slow down once it hit the top 30. "Dead Flowers" (while a great song) was a horrible lead single choice, especially in the dead of summer.

Not so much regarding a specific song or songs here, but I just realized that pretty much every song that went for adds in March this year has totally bombed.
March 2 Gary Allan - "Hangover Tonight" (peaked at #41) John King - "On Your Lips" (didn't chart)
March 9 Ashley Monroe - "On To Something Good" (peaked at #53) Eli Young Band - "Turn It On" (peaked at #37) Logan Mize - "Can't Get Away From A Good Time" (1 week at #60, still being promoted) Montgomery Gentry - "Folks Like Us" (up to #49 on Billboard, but not likely to get much higher) Ruthie Collins - "Ramblin' Man" (didn't chart) Trisha Yearwood - "I Remember You" (didn't chart)
March 16 Kacey Musgraves - "Biscuits" (peaked at #41) Striking Matches - "Hanging On A Lie" (didn't chart)
March 23 Cam - "My Mistake" (peaked at #52) Jason Aldean - "Tonight Looks Good On You" (#8 and climbing) Lady Antebellum - "Long Stretch Of Love" (up to #28 MB, #32 BB, but I'm quite confident this will be their lowest-peaking single) RaeLynn - "For A Boy" (#58 peak, may or may not re-enter at some point)
March 30 Brothers Osborne - "Stay A Little Longer" (#37 and climbing) Casey James - "Fall Apart" (peaked at #52) Chase Bryant - "Little Bit Of You" (#43 after 9 weeks) Jana Kramer - "I Got The Boy" (#38 and climbing)
All of these were major label releases, or prominent indie labels. Jason Aldean is pretty much the only exception, although I think Brothers Osborne will score a hit, and I'm cautiously optimistic with Jana Kramer and Chase Bryant as well. Eli Young Band completely bombed for the first time in years, Lady A is gonna struggle to make the top 20, Casey James can't even make the top 50, same goes for RaeLynn, Logan Mize, Cam, Ashley Monroe, and Trisha Yearwood. Gary and Kacey couldn't make top 40, and Montgomery Gentry most likely won't make it that high either.
If you go into April, "Sangria" was the only major release on 04/06, then on 04/13 we had Thompson Square's "Trans Am" and Toby Keith's "35 mph Town", on 04/20 we had George's "Let It Go" (which is done already), and on 04/27 we had Thomas Rhett's "Crash And Burn", Kid Rock's "First Kiss", and Chris Stapleton's "Traveller". So I guess aside from "Sangria" and "Crash And Burn", April didn't/won't produce many hits either. Maybe Kid Rock can manage a slow climb, but I don't think things are looking good for Thompson Square and Toby Keith, and I doubt "Traveller" is going to suddenly take off.
Back in February, we had Dan + Shay, LoCash, and David Fanning on 02/23, Carrie Underwood and Michael Ray on 02/16, Mo Pitney and Waterloo Revival on 02/09, and Kenny Chesney and Parmalee on 02/02. At least we've gotten a couple big hits (Carrie, Kenny, Michael) and a few slower-climbers (D+S, Mo, Parmalee) from February. David Fanning somehow spent a week at #60 (audience totals were much lower back in the winter, as the chart wasn't nearly so jammed up) but "Doin' Country Right" was basically the definition of a flop. I'd be surprised if LoCash and Waterloo Revival are able to climb into the top 40.
If you notice, though, there weren't as many songs going for adds in February and April as we saw in March, right after CRS. That was just a brutal stretch, and most of the releases seemed to cannibalize each other. Even now the chart is still pretty clogged up, although it's gotten somewhat better as we've pushed into June.

The strange run at #1 in March-April 2001 was a head-scratcher:
March 3: You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like This March 10: One More Day March 17: You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like This March 24: You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like This March 31: One More Day
I believe that's the only time that songs have kicked each other out of the #1 slot. It's weirder still that Diamond Rio waited two weeks before returning, when most other "return to #1" runs (e.g. "Where I Come From" by Alan Jackson later in the same year) were only a one-week wait.
Also, is it just me, or has almost NOTHING from 2001 been played on country radio in the last few years?

Neal McCoy's "Billy's Got His Beer Goggles On" debuted at #60 on 4/16/05, fell out the next week, and re-entered at #51 on 5/14/05. I believe there was also a point at which it managed to jump #20-#14 in one week due to the Top 20 having a massive clearout. Very strange chart run for a self-released single. If I remember correctly, a post on the old ACC boards back in 2005 said that the stray week at #60 was due to Billboard accidentally letting a song go recurrent that shouldn't have.
Trace Adkins' "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk" hit #58 on 4/9/05 as "Honky Tonk Badonk Adonk"[sic] due to unsolicited airplay, and re-entered as a single in October. I found this one interesting because a.) the title was misspelled the first time around, and b.) WATZ continued to play it throughout the chart runs of "Songs About Me" and "Arlington".
2005 had a lot of wacky chart runs. I remember "Fourth of July" and "Dream Big" tripping over each other in the 30's a lot. At one point, the former gained 7 spaces (#36-#29 if I remember correctly), only to lose most of that the next wee.

The strange run at #1 in March-April 2001 was a head-scratcher: March 3: You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like This March 10: One More Day March 17: You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like This March 24: You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like This March 31: One More Day I believe that's the only time that songs have kicked each other out of the #1 slot. It's weirder still that Diamond Rio waited two weeks before returning, when most other "return to #1" runs (e.g. "Where I Come From" by Alan Jackson later in the same year) were only a one-week wait. Also, is it just me, or has almost NOTHING from 2001 been played on country radio in the last few years? ==== Neal McCoy's "Billy's Got His Beer Goggles On" debuted at #60 on 4/16/05, fell out the next week, and re-entered at #51 on 5/14/05.

For your 2001 question, the only two songs I hear on a consistent basis from that year anymore is "Austin" and "Ain't Nothing 'Bout You." "Billy's Got His Beer Goggles On" peaked at #10 on the week ending 11/11/2005 R&R chart. It beat out the #11 place song "Big Blue Note" by just 7 total points, lol. Literally just a couple more spins for Toby and Neal's song would have peaked at #11, at least on that chart; don't know how close it was on Billboard. In fact, "Big Blue Note" fell from #9 to #11 that week, so Neal really lucked out there. "4th Of July" took two pretty devastating blows during its chart run from what I remember. It climbed from #35 to #30 on R&R, only to get knocked back to #34 without a bullet the next week, then after it got back to the top 30, it fell back to #32 the following week, once again without a bullet. It still found it's way to #23 on R&R when all was said and done. WYRK still ignored it.

I still hear several of the big hits from 2001, namely "Born to Fly," "It's a Great Day to Be Alive," "Ain't Nothing 'bout You," "Where I Come From," and all three Toby Keith hits (with "You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like This" being most prominent), fairly often. I heard "But for the Grace of God" randomly for the first time in awhile yesterday, too. I hear a couple others from time to time as well, such as "Right Where I Need to Be," "Run," and "Austin."
