This new chart sees, unsurprisingly, Taylor Swift and Josh Turner hold down the top 2 positions (respectively). I'm thinking Turner's probably going to have to settle for #2, as I'm getting the feeling that Ms. Swift will be there awhile. (Bah.)
George Strait regains a bullet and moves up to #3 but probably won't add to his record-holding tally of #1 hits. (He's up to 42 now, despite the fact that one of his greatest hits collections is entitled "50 #1 Hits".) Keith Urban continues to creep up slowly, this week to #8, but this song doesn't seem destined for #1, either. Meanwhile, any of the other big hits in the top 10 seem like future candidates. Brad Paisley and Gary Allan enter the top 10 this week. Allan's record had been slow-and-steady and is now charging up more quickly, having moved 17-13-10 in the past few weeks.
Meanwhile, "Don't Blink" by Kenny Chesney is still in the top 10, while his new funky "Shiftwork" charges up 34-25. I'm surprised it's that low, still, but I'm thinking there's a future #1 there, potentially.
Positions #11-25 are, as is the norm, slow going, and a bit hard to call. Records by Blake Shelton, Eagles, and Jason Aldean all have bullets after having gained and lost them over the past few weeks, so I'm less hopeful about these songs' chances in the top 10. Tim McGraw's "Suspicions" cover has moved 37-27-22, putting that on the fast track for the top 10. Finally, Chris Cagle's "What Kinda Gone", the oldest record between #11 and #25 is still slowly creeping up but seems to be gaining steam. I'm hoping it's a sleeper hit of the new year, because it really does get better on repeated listenings.
