Weekly Chart Report (2/3/2012)

SPIN ZONE
Changes abound in the latest version of the CountryBreakout Chart as Keith Urban’s “You Gonna Fly” soars to No. 1. His Capitol labelmate Dierks Bentley is in hot pursuit with “Home” at No. 2, only 63 spins off Urban’s total. Crossing into the Top 10 for the first time are Taylor Swift’s “Ours” at No. 9 and Jake Owen’s “Alone With You” at No. 10. Positioned just outside the Top 10 and ready to strike are Lady Antebellum’s “Dancin’ Away With My Heart,” which gained 223 spins, and Blake Shelton’s “Drink On It,” which added 378.

Make way for the superstars, folks. Gobbling up a majority of the new spins for the week are the latest offerings from Rascal Flatts (“Banjo” at No. 20), Zac Brown Band (“No Hurry” at No. 27), Alan Jackson (“So You Don’t Have To Love Me” at No. 30), and Jason Aldean (“Fly Over States” at No. 39). Phil Vassar also has a highly reactive new single with “Don’t Miss Your Life,” and it has already jumped to No. 45 in its second week charting.

Leading the pack of new entries to the chart is Ira Dean’s “Something About A Sunday,” which lands the Average Joe’s artist at No. 71. Right behind at No. 72 is Thompson Square’s “Glass,” and Rachel Holder’s “In Your Arms” at No. 75. Also making first appearances are Kaleb McIntire’s “Redneck In All Of Us” at No. 77 and Jana Kramer’s “Why Ya Wanna” at No. 79.
