Weekly Chart Report 7/09/10

July 9, 2010/by Freeman

RADIO NEWS
West Texas Broadcasting’s KKCN/San Angelo, TX has named DK Pierce for music and programming duties, following the departures of Alex Hart and Tracy Scott. Pierce comes to the station from KOMG/Springfield, MO and he also spent time with KTST in Oklahoma City. Call times are Tuesdays from 10-12 central and you can reach him at dkpierce@westtexasbroadcasting.com.

Top: James Otto (center) visits with Kay Manley (L) and Dave Kelly (R) of WGKX before his show in Memphis for "KIX on Beale." Bottom: (L-R): KSCS/Dallas PD Chris Huff and Frankie Ballard.

SPIN ZONE
Keith Urban’s “I’m In” arrived at No. 1 last week after only eight weeks on the CountryBreakout chart, and maintains its hold on the top spot for a second consecutive week with a gain of 101 spins. Most of the Top 10 records, in fact, are younger than 20 weeks. While it’s not uncommon for a song to move quickly up the chart, it is pretty rare to see one reach No. 1 in 10 weeks or less. Not surprisingly, this isn’t Urban’s first time to achieve this feat: “Kiss A Girl,” “Tonight I Wanna Cry,” and “Days Go By” were all 10 week-or-less trips to No. 1.

Another superstar who has managed quick runs to No. 1 is Toby Keith, who has two No. 1 singles (“She Never Cried In Front Of Me,” “As Good As I Once Was”) under the 10 week mark, and at least six more that made it in 11 or 12. His latest, “Trailerhood” might be another, considering its rise to No. 25 in five weeks. Others with multiple fast-rising No. 1s include Lady Antebellum (current single “Our Kind Of Love” is No. 8 after seven weeks), Rascal Flatts, Garth Brooks and George Strait.

Taylor Swift’s “Love Story” and Carrie Underwood’s “Jesus Take The Wheel” are tied for the fastest rising female single in chart history at nine weeks, followed by Faith Hill’s “Mississippi Girl” and Gretchen Wilson’s “Redneck Woman” at 10 weeks. Hill’s husband Tim McGraw is the current chart record-holder, as his world-conquering “Live Like You Were Dying” rocketed to No. 1 in seven short weeks.

Biggest debut of the week goes to George Strait’s “The Breath You Take” which lands at No. 52. Others making first appearances include Darren Kozelsky’s “Somebody Find Me A Preacher” (No. 66), Joe Nichols’ “The Shape I’m In” (No. 69), Randy Rogers Band’s “Too Late For Goodbye” (No. 71), and Chelsea Field’s “Things I Should’ve Said” (No. 74).

Along with our new chart download format this week, we have expanded the chart to include 80 titles. As a result, Charlie Allen, James Wesley, Sean Hogan, The Springs, and Nathan Lee Jackson all get first week recognition.
