Weekly Chart Report (9/14/2012)
Casey James (R) gets a leg-up on WGTY/York, PA's Scott Donato while in town for a show at the York Fair. James is currently promoting his new single "Crying On A Suitcase,” which lands at No. 27.
SPIN ZONE
The inherent risk of running with the “Fastest Girl In Town” is that you might not be able to keep up with her. And that is apparently the case this week, as Miranda Lambert’s latest ascends to the MusicRow chart’s No. 1 spot with a big 218 spin gain. Chasing her is across-the-hall label mate Carrie Underwood’s “Blown Away,” and Jason Aldean’s very hot “Take a Little Ride.” Newly arriving in the last slot of the top 10 is Greg Bates’“Did it For the Girl.”
Warner Music Nashville's Brett Eldredge (R) and WLHK/Indianapolis’ Bob Richards get in a workout during a recent radio visit promoting the new single, “Don’t Ya.”
Other female artists hanging out in the top 40 include Joanna Smith, whose “We Can’t Be Friends” is at No. 19 before it officially goes for adds at monitored radio. Right behind at No. 20 is Taylor Swift’s massive “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.” Trio Edens Edge is 2/3 female and has “Too Good To Be True” at No. 24. Trio Taylor Made also has a female member and “Some Things You Never Grow Out Of” is at No. 34, a little behind Heidi Newfield’s “Why’d You Have To Be So Good” at No. 28. Closing out the top 40 are a strong group of four including Gwen Sebastian’s “Met Him In A Motel Room,” Miss Willie Brown’s “You’re All That Matters To Me,” Kelleigh Bannen’s “Sorry On The Rocks,” and Kristen Kelly’s “Ex-Old Man.”
Kenny Chesney’s “El Cerrito” leads the debuts this week, making a big splash at No. 52. Show Dog-Universal’s JT Hodges is a few paces back at No. 57 with “Sleepy Little Town.” Trace Adkins’ topical “Tough People Do” shows up at No. 67, and the Coleman Brothers’ “Ghost Town” floats in at No. 78.
