Non-consecutive week No. 1 songs are a rarity on the CountryBreakout Chart. Typically a single will rise to the top and hang out for a couple weeks, before being scaled back into recurrent airplay.
So here’s our rare exception for the next few months. Keith Urban’s “You Gonna Fly” has returned to the No. 1 position after a couple weeks at No. 2 while labelmate Dierks Bentley’s “Home” was in charge. “You Gonna Fly” was penned by Jaren Johnston, Preston Brust, and Chris Lucas. Brust and Lucas you should recognize from their other job fronting the LoCash Cowboys, and this is the first No. 1 single for either of them.
Urban will also be tackling a new challenge in 2012, as he joins the Australian version of The Voice as a judge. His All For the Hall benefit for the Country Music Hall of Fame will come to the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville with guests Alabama, Alison Krauss & Union Station, The Band Perry, Blue Sky Riders, Diamond Rio, Exile, Lady Antebellum, Little Big Town, The Oak Ridge Boys, Pistol Annies, Rascal Flatts, and Thompson Square.
