Weekly Chart Report (3/11/11)

March 11, 2011/by Freeman


Rebel Dawg Records artist Eric Lee Beddingfield treated WGLR/Platteville, WI MD and self-avowed Barbara Mandrell fanatic Ryan McCall to a visit to Mandrell’s former home The Fontanel Mansion & Farm recently. Jaime Dudney, daughter of Mandrell and Ken Dudney, gave the two a personal tour of the home where she grew up and where she now serves as the director of hospitality. (L-R): Beddingfield, Dudney and McCall.


SPIN ZONE
Hearty congratulations again to the folks over at Stoney Creek Records, as Thompson Square notches a second week on top of the CountryBreakout Chart with “Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not.” Brad Paisley’s “This Is Country Music” is in hot pursuit at No. 2, followed by Darius Rucker’s “This” at No. 3 and Jason Aldean’s “Don’t You Wanna Stay” at No. 4. But be on the lookout for Zac Brown Band’s “Colder Weather,” which makes a huge leap to No. 5 with a gain of 309 spins.
The ascent of Thompson Square to No. 1 speaks to the rise of a new class of young talents. We have already witnessed the exciting breakthroughs of twentysomethings Taylor, Carrie and Miranda, of course. But interestingly, nearly 50% of the chart’s Top 40 belongs to relative newcomers who are only two albums or less into their careers.
Some, like The Band Perry (“You Lie,” No. 12) and Easton Corbin (“I Can’t Love You Back,” No. 19), have tasted a little No. 1 success and appear positioned for bigger stardom in coming months. Others, like The Dirt Drifters (“Something Better,” No. 36) and JB & The Moonshine Band (“Perfect Girl,” No. 39), are just beginning that journey. The list also includes hopefuls Ashton Shepherd (“Look It Up,” No. 27), Josh Thompson (“Won’t Be Lonely Long,” No. 35), and Carter’s Chord (“A Little Less Comfortable,” No. 37).
