SPIN ZONE
Raise a glass, people. Eric Church’s “Drink In My Hand” has ascended to the CountryBreakout Chart’s No. 1 spot, making it his first chart-topping single. Then there’s a chaser (ha!) of The Band Perry’s “All Your Life” and Zac Brown Band’s “Keep Me In Mind” at No. 2 and 3, respectively. Also moving up are Luke Bryan’s “I Don’t Want This Night to End” at No. 4 and Rascal Flatts’ “Easy” at No. 5
Taylor Swift’s performance of “Ours” on the CMA Awards apparently had quite an impact. Less than a month later, the song is her official new single and just snapped up a gain of 467 spins to debut at No. 55. And maybe programmers are kind of waking up from the Thanksgiving turkey slumber, because there are numerous singles piling on 200-plus spins: Brad Paisley’s “Camouflage” (No. 15), Keith Urban’s “You Gonna Fly” (No. 16), Toby Keith’s “Red Solo Cup” (No. 17), George Strait’s “Love’s Gonna Make It Alright” (No. 23), Trace Adkins’ “Million Dollar View” (No. 24), and Faith Hill’s “Come Home” (No. 34).
