SPIN ZONE

Sarah Darling continues to visit radio in support of her No. 31 single, “Home To Me.” Recently, Darling spent time in Portland, OR with KUPL and KWJJ. Darling kicked off the “Scotty McCreery Weekend Road Trip Tour 2013” yesterday, (Feb. 14) in Bethlehem, Pa. at the Sands Bethlehem Event Center. Pictured (L-R): Brian Fee (Black River), Sarah Darling; B-Dub (KUPL’s APD/MD/afternoons); and Greg McCarn (Black River)

Note to songwriters: perhaps putting the word “Two” in your song is a good thing. The Band Perry topped the MusicRow CountryBreakout chart with “Better Dig Two” a few weeks ago, and this week Carrie Underwood‘s “Two Black Cadillacs” sits atop the summit of the MusicRow chart.

Tim McGraw‘s “One of Those Nights” (from his album Two Lanes of Freedom…sensing a pattern here?) sits at No. 2, while Taylor Swift‘s “Begin Again” rises two spots to No. 3. Kacey Musgraves‘ “Merry Go Round” holds steady at No. 4 while Toby Keith‘s “Hope On The Rocks” rounds out the Top 5. Lee Brice‘s “I Drive Your Truck” keeps rolling toward the upper echelon of the chart, coming in at No. 6. Chris Young‘s “I Can Take It From There” gains momentum this week, jumping from No. 10 to No. 7. Hunter Hayes‘ “Somebody’s Heartbreak” is in the No. 9 spot. New to the Top 10 this week are Blake Shelton‘s “Sure Be Cool If You Did,” entering the Top 10 at No. 8 with 264 additional spins and Miranda Lambert‘s “Mama’s Broken Heart,” lands at No. 10.

Big movers this week include Kenny Chesney‘s “Pirate Flag,” adding 590 spins and and jumping from No. 34 to No. 22. Lady Antebellum‘s “Downtown” makes a cool climb from No. 23 to No. 15. Greg Bates‘ “Fill In The Blank” makes a steady climb to No. 46  with 216 added spins. Brice’s “I Drive Your Truck” lands in the No. 6 spot with 215 added spins.

There are several debuts on the chart this week, including Parmalee‘s “Carolina” at No. 74, Kristen Kelly‘s “He Loves To Make Me Cry” at No. 75, Joe Bachman‘s “Small Town Rock Stars” at No. 79 and Jacob Martin Band‘s “Wraparound Porch” at No. 80.
