Taylor Swift Remains #1 but gets there with new country single “Begin Again,” with the divisive “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” now #2.
Fans who aren’t Taylor Swift fans better get used to seeing her name peppered on these reports for the next two months or so as she will release singles from the album Red up until it’s released later this month when the rest of those songs will be peppering this list. She owns the first two slots on the chart and sold over 50,000 when you add #13 single “Ronan” to the rundown mix. Last week’s #2 single (and a recent airply #1 hit), Hunter Hayes’ “Wanted” slides to #3 and has nearly sold 1.5 million singles. A newly minted Gold single sits at #4 as “Cruise” from Florida Georgia Line continues its forward momentum and we have no doubts it’ll soon be a Platinum (or more) single. We’ve always felt that way. Carrie Underwood has the #5 best-selling country single with the soon to be Platinum “Blown Away.”
Jake Owen Debuts In Top 10 with "Summer Jam" Collabo w/FGL
Little Big Town’s hit of the summer, “Pontoon” sits at #6 this week while This week’s airplay chart-topper, Jason Aldean’s “Take A Little Ride” sits at #7. Lee Brice is at #8 with “Hard To Love.” Jake Owen’s “Summer Jam,” a song written by Florida Georgia Line and featuring the duo, debuts at #9 and it’s from the Endless Summer EP. Luke Bryan rounds out the Top 10 with "Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye."
