Weekly Chart Report (2/10/12)
Dierks Bentley is currently sitting at No. 1 on the CountryBreakout Chart, and was featured as a guest host of CMT Radio Live with Cody Alan (R) to promote his new album, Home. Bentley took calls and gave away autographed copies of the record.
SPIN ZONE
It’s a super close Capitol Records switcheroo at the top of the CountryBreakout Chart, as Dierks Bentley’s “Home” scoots into the No. 1 spot just 11 spins ahead of last week’s champ “You Gonna Fly” by Keith Urban. Martina, Toby, Montgomery Gentry, and George all surge forward into positions 3-6, and Lady Antebellum’s “Dancin’ Away With My Heart” tangos right into the Top 10 at No. 9.
Seemingly everyone has a new single coming out, and programmers are responding by cranking up the spin power. Jason Aldean’s “Fly Over States” debuted three weeks back, and now it’s already up to No. 29 after a gain of 379 spins. Rascal Flatts bests that by gaining 399 spins and taking “Banjo” to No. 14. Also gaining major spins are Brantley Gilbert’s “You Don’t Know Her Like I Do” at No. 18, Eli Young Band’s “Even If It Breaks Your Heart” at No. 21, Zac Brown Band’s “No Hurry” at No. 24, and Alan Jackson’s “So You Don’t Have To Love Me Anymore” at No. 27.
Eric Church is Chief, or should I say “Boss,” of the new debuts this week with “Springsteen,” which lands at No. 55. Other new singles debuting include Kinsey Sadler’s “Sometimes I Forget,” Lewis Copeland’s “She’s Got It Goin’ On,” Alison Krauss & Union Station’s “My Love Follows You Where You Go,” and Dustin Lynch’s “Cowboys and Angels.”
