SPIN ZONE
The chart game is an intricate dance of planning and strategy, which hopefully pays off if you’ve hit all your marks. Nailing all steps this week is Lady Antebellum’s “Dancin’ Away With My Heart,” which tangos right into the No. 1 spot. Blake Shelton’s boozy “Drink On It” saunters to No. 2, with Taylor Swift’s “Ours,” Jake Owen’s “Alone With You” and Rascal Flatts’ “Banjo” rounding out the Top 5.
Carrie Underwood’s “Good Girl” has become quite the event, and is shaking things up in the Top 20. The Arista star’s latest single is only three weeks in and is already up to No. 15. That means a slower rising hit single like Kip Moore’s “Somethin’ ‘Bout A Truck,” loses spot despite a gain of 76 spins. Alan Jackson’s “So You Don’t Have To Love Me Anymore” (No. 17) and Kellie Pickler’s “100 Proof” (No. 18) both gain spins, but will have to wait a week to advance position.
For many artists, it’s a slow climb to the Top 40 with just The Band Perry’s “Postcard to Paris” (No. 38) and Josh Thompson’s “Comin’ Around” (No. 39) the only new records inside that barrier. But Dustin Lynch’s “Cowboys and Angels” (No. 42) and Thomas Rhett’s “Something To Do With My Hands” (No. 43) look like they’re destined for the Top 40 next week.
