Weekly Chart Report (9/10/10)

SPIN ZONE
Lady Antebellum has a knack for these multi-week No. 1 songs, don’t they? The Capitol trio’s “Our Kind Of Love” tops the CountryBreakout Chart for a fifth consecutive week, despite some slight spin erosion. That puts Kenny Chesney’s strong single “The Boys of Fall” and Darius Rucker’s “Come Back Song” in good position to challenge the top spot very soon.

The lone new entrant to the top 10 is Taylor Swift’s “Mine,” which sits at No. 9 after a brief five weeks. The Top 20 is crowded with newer singles moving up, but Sugarland’s “Stuck Like Glue” (No. 12) and Brad Paisley’s “Anything Like Me” (No. 15) appear to have enough momentum to outrun the rest. Just outside the top 20 are Zac Brown Band’s “As She’s Walking Away” at No. 21, Jason Aldean’s “My Kinda Party” at No. 25 and Carrie Underwood’s “Mama’s Song” at No. 28, all three of which earned over 200 additional spins.

It’s a strikingly young chart, due to a mass of superstar singles sprinting toward the top. Indeed there are very few singles over 20 weeks old still gaining spins, save for Easton Corbin’s “Roll With It” at No. 5 and the JaneDear girls’ “Wildflower” at No. 26. New to the chart this week include Blake Shelton’s “Who Are You When I’m Not Looking” at No. 68, Walker Hayes’ “Pants” at No. 69, and Josh Kelley’s “Georgia Clay” at No. 74.
