I know I'm a week late and a dollar short on this, but I had the update written before I got swamped with other stuff, so here it is.
Top Artists
While Miranda Lambert (32 listeners) stays on top, some of the recent releases are boosting some people's numbers. Alan Jackson was #2 with 31, and Gary Allan was right behind (tied with Brad Paisley) at 28. Even Blake Shelton, who'd dropped well back in the pack in recent weeks, moved up to #12 with 21 listeners. Maybe more of our group members have a secret hillbilly bone than previously thought. Keith Urban jumped from 9 listeners the previous week to 18 this week, so clearly he needs to perform Radney Foster songs on awards shows more often. Also making some great strides was Kellie Pickler, who made it into the Top 20 for the first time with 20 listeners. If her next album is as country as she's claiming, it won't be her last time.
Top Albums
While Jackson and Allan are picking up more listeners, nothing is stopping Revolution, which has basically taken over this category and will hold it until Hank Williams comes back from the dead with a new album, or Lambert releases her follow-up to Revolution. Jackson's Freight Train is at #7 with 13 listeners, so the bloom is pretty much off that rose already. Easton Corbin's debut album is still showing pretty good traction, as it came in at #3 with 15 listeners, behind Lambert and Carrie Underwood's Play On (16). The biggest debut this week was from Laura Bell Bundy and Achin' And Shakin'. It had 9 listeners on release week. The new one from Merle Haggard, comparatively, managed just 6 listeners, which equaled the amount of... Katy Perry.
Top Tracks
Laura Bell Bundy is enough of a curiosity piece to dominate the tracks chart this week, with 11 of the 12 songs from her album landing inside the Top 20. “Giddy On Up” led the way with 11 listeners, and “Cigarette,” “Curse The Bed” and “Homecoming Queen” all had 10. Both the “Achin'” and “Shakin'” sides were well represented, but we'll see if either side lasts more than a week at the top. Lady Antebellum managed to get two songs, “American Honey” and “Need You Now,” into the Top 10 with 9 listeners, as did Easton Corbin's “A Little More Country Than That” and Taylor Swift's “You Belong With Me.” Just two of Alan Jackson's new songs – “Freight Train” and “After 17” – ended up in a tie for #20 indicates that the new album may take a few listens before the favorites begin to emerge. Or there's just no noteworthy songs, which seems very un-Jacksonlike.
