Blake Shelton‘s 2013 is shaping up to be quite “cool,” indeed, with his upcoming Ten Times Crazier tour and a new album, Based On A True Story…, releasing later this month. His latest single, “Sure Be Cool If You Did,” just reached the top of the MusicRow Countrybreakout chart this week. Lee Brice is close behind with his No. 2 ballad, “I Drive Your Truck”–70 spins separated these two tracks this week. Toby Keith‘s “Hope On The Rocks” jumped from No. 5 to No. 3 while Chris Young‘s “I Can Take It From There” rises from No. 6 to No. 4 and Hunter Hayes‘ “Somebody’s Heartbreak” goes from No. 7 to No. 5. Lady Antebellum‘s “Downtown” (No. 6), Miranda Lambert‘s “Mama’s Broken Heart” (No. 7), Kacey Musgraves‘ “Merry Go Round” (No. 8), Florida Georgia Line‘s “Get Your Shine On” (No. 9) and George Strait‘s “Give It All We Got” (No. 10) round out the Top 10 this week.
Brad Paisley‘s “Beat This Summer” is the greatest gainer this week, with 730 added spins. The Band Perry‘s “Done” gained 596 spins, while Taylor Swift and Tim McGraw‘s “Highway Don’t Care” garnered 467 additional spins.
