SPIN ZONE
Kudos to Rascal Flatts, Big Machine Label Group, and associated promotion personnel on earning the new CountryBreakout No. 1 song with “Banjo.” Flatts’ latest picks up 147 extra spins in the latest chart and stays ahead of Miranda Lambert’s “Over You.” Eric Church’s “Springsteen” charges ahead to No. 3, followed by Jason Aldean’s “Fly Over States” and Carrie Underwood’s red hot “Good Girl” at No. 5.
Also red hot: Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw’s duet “Feel Like a Rock Star.” Unveiled in live performance on the ACM Awards stage, the superstar collaboration debuted at No. 39 last week and picked up an additional 937 (!) spins to grab the No. 20 spot. Dierks Bentley’s “5-1-5-0” is also going a little wild, gaining 360 spins and moving onward to No. 28.
Keith Urban’s “For You,” which also had its first televised performance on the ACM Awards Stage, is the week’s big debut at No. 61. Urban’s Capitol label mate Jon Pardi is right behind at No. 62 with “Missin’ You Crazy,” now in its second week charting. Outside the Top 80, Montgomery Gentry’s new “So Called Life” looks poised for a strong debut in the next chart.
