SPIN ZONE
There’s a new CountryBreakout No. 1 song this week, and it comes courtesy of the same label who was on top last week. Keith Urban’s “I’m In,” one of the fastest rising singles we’ve seen in some time, now sits in the No. 1 position after only eight weeks charting. Little Big Town’s “Little White Church” slips back to No. 2 despite a healthy 110 spin gain. Rounding out the top 5 are sure-to-be contenders Carrie Underwood’s “Undo It” at No. 3, Blake Shelton’s “All About Tonight” at No. 4 and Jerrod Niemann’s “Lover, Lover” at No. 5.
Speaking of contenders, Darius Rucker has returned to the chart and posted the week’s biggest debut at No. 47. His new single “Come Back Song” is from an upcoming album, and its gain of 546 spins suggests that he will continue to enjoy his chart-topping success through another album. Following in the wake of a couple of smash hits Miranda Lambert wastes no time returning to the chart with the rowdy “Only Prettier,” which lands at No. 57. Other new arrivals include John Rich’s “Country Done Come To Town,” Leah Seawright’s “Country Girl 101,” Susan Hickman’s “Hell Still Ain’t Frozen Over,” and Frankie Ballard’s “Tell Me You Get Lonely.”
Though the middle section of the chart is a tough grind at times, singles like Toby Keith’s “Trailerhood” (No. 31) are sailing right through with ease. Not far behind at No. 33, The Band Perry’s “If I Die Young” is bucking the feel-good summer single trend and faring even better for it. And lastly, Eric Church’s “Smoke A Little Smoke” is blazing at No. 40 as it picks up an additional 235 spins.
