Chart Update

It’s time for your weekly Billboard country singles chart update!

- Darius Rucker glides into the No. 1 spot after 23 weeks on the chart! What an accomplishment with his very first country single…we think Darius is here to stay and that he’s going to do well in the country format!

- Knocking hard at the door to that No. 1 spot is Kenny Chesney who takes over the No. 2 spot this week with his current hit, “Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven.” The song has only been on the charts for 8 weeks and is the lead single from Kenny’s forthcoming album, “Lucky Old Sun.”

- Toby Keith breaks into the top 5 at No. 5 this week with his hit, “She Never Cried In Front Of Me.” This song is still climbing after 13 weeks on the charts.

- Three rising country stars hold steady this week at the same spot they were last week. Luke Bryan stays at No. 12 with “Country Man,” Chuck Wicks stays at No. 14 with “All I Ever Wanted,” and Jason Aldean holds place at No. 15 with “Relentless.” - Taylor Swift makes a big jump this week from No. 25 to No. 18 with “Love Story,” the first single off her upcoming album, “Fearless.” This is only the song’s second week on the charts and it’s moving fast!

- Our favorite new band, the Zac Brown Band, are still climbing with their single, “Chicken Fried.” They land at No. 22 this week.

- Sugarland rounds out the top 25 landing at No. 25 with their new single “Already Gone.” Their last release, “All I Want To Do” is still on the charts at No. 24 after climbing all the way to No. 1 for the duo!
