Weekly Chart Report (9/23/11)

SPIN ZONE

George Strait gets a second turn in the CountryBreakout Chart’s No. 1 spot with “Here For A Good Time,” as Blake Shelton’s “God Gave Me You” starts to put on a little pressure at No. 2. Eli Young Band’s “Crazy Girl” moves up to No. 3 with a gain of 119 spins, inching ahead of Thompson Square’s “I Got You.” New to the Top 10 is Miranda Lambert’s “Baggage Claim,” which lands at No. 8 ahead of Darius Rucker’s “I Got Nothin’” at No. 9.

In the spirit of George Strait’s No. 1, Texas makes a strong showing elsewhere on this chart. Sunny Sweeney’s latest, “Drink Myself Single,” notches the week’s highest debut at No. 64. Kevin Fowler’s “That Girl” also debuts admirably at No. 70, following a triple-digit spin increase. Texan hitmaker Tracy Lawrence is releasing music independently these days, but his latest “The Singer” is up to No. 37.

Other new tracks on this chart include American Idol champ Scotty McCreery’s “The Trouble With Girls” at No. 71, Patrick Davis’ “Lucky” at No. 77, Jimmy White’s “Forever And A Day” at No. 78, Madonna Nash’s “Dirty Little Secret” at No. 79 and JaneDear girls’ “Merry Go Round” at No. 80.
