Weekly Chart Report (5/10/13)

SPIN ZONE

MCA’s Drake White (R) recently visited with WIL’s Danny Montana (L) to promote his debut single, “The Simple Life.”

According to Tim McGraw‘s new single, which features Taylor Swift (and Keith Urban on guitar), the “Highway Don’t Care”—but radio sure does. The single has topped the MusicRow Country Breakout Charts with 3546 spins this week, after only 12 weeks on the chart. Brad Paisley‘s warm-weather anthem, “Beat This Summer,” is heating up the charts, jumping from No. 4 to No. 2 this week. Eric Church‘s former No. 1 song, “Like Jesus Does,” lands at No. 3, followed by The Band Perry‘s “Done” at No. 4 and Blake Shelton‘s “Boys Round Here,” which climbs from No. 9 to No. 5. Jake Owen holds steady at No. 6 for a second week with “Anywhere With You,” while The Henningsens continue their steady climb up the chart. The family trio’s single “American Beautiful” is at No. 7 this week. The Top 10 gets three new singles this week. Luke Bryan‘s “Crash My Party” crashed into the Top 10, leaping from No. 14 to No. 8. Zac Brown Band‘s “Jump Right In” did just that, rising from No. 13 to No. 9. Kip Moore‘s “Hey Pretty Girl” rounds out the Top 10, upping two slots from No. 12 to No. 10 this week.

Radio is apparently saying a great big ‘Hello’ to Lady Antebellum‘s “Goodbye Town,” as it is this week’s greatest gainer with 546 spins, landing at No. 47. Blake Shelton‘s “Boy’s Round Here” gained 391 spins, enough to jump into the Top 5 this week. Thomas Rhett‘s “It Goes Like This” earned 379 spins, soaring up the charts from No. 60 last week to No. 37 this week. Chris Young‘s “Aw Naw” gathered 536 additional spins this week, enough to put it in the No. 48 spot. Luke Bryan‘s “Crash My Party” lands at No. 8 with an added 335 spins.

Plenty of new singles were launched at the chart this week. Lady Antebellum‘s “Goodbye Town” notched the highest debut, at No. 47, followed by Trace Adkins (featuring Colbie Caillat)’s “Watch The World End” at No. 59, Joe Nichols‘ “Sunny and 75” at No. 73, Morgan Frazier‘s “Yellow Brick Road” at No. 77, Breelan Angel’s “It’s My Turn” at No. 78, Lennon & Maisy Stella (who portrayed sisters Maddie and Daphne on the television show Nashville)’s “Ho Hey” at No. 79 and Steve Richard‘s “Keep On Rollin'” at No. 80.
