The rising star has two of the Top 5 tracks to join Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line and Jake Owen inside the Top 5 Digital Country Tracks for this week.

Luke Bryan Holds Onto #1 and #2 (the latter a track with Florida Georgia Line) and Brantley Gilbert holds the #3 and #4 slots. It’s a Bro-Country Top 5.

The Top 5 Country Digital Tracks this week are all “Bro-Country” types of songs (or at least artists affiliated with the new country sounds. Luke Bryan’s “Play It Again” is once again #1 while “This Is How We Roll” with FGL is #2 (it has sold nearly 1.1 million tracks). Brantley Gilbert’s recent #1 hit “Bottom’s Up” is #3 and is just under 1.1 million tracks while his preview track “My Baby’s Guns N’ Roses” from his upcoming album release sold a strong 52k tracsk in one week of sales on iTunes. Jake Owen’s “Beachin” Rounds out the Top 5 with sales of 42k last week (it’s at 362k to date).  

Top 10 Holds Keith Urban, Eric Church, Lee Brice, Jerrod Niemann and Rascal Flatts.

Lee Brice’s “I Don’t Dance” has steadily risen up the chart, just one example of a ballad froKm  selling well despite what some programmers or consultants at Country radio may believe. Keith Urban’s “Cop Car” is next on our rundown with sales now over 600k (617k to date) and that gives the song an outside shot at Platinum as it still is just inside the Top 10 this week. Eric Church’s “Give Me Back My Home Town” is at #8 on this chart and has sold 610k to date while also being the Radio airplay #1 this week. Jerrod Niemann’s “Drink To That All Night” is at #9 with sales approaching 700k while Rascal Flatts are at #10 with sales approaching Gold certification (it should reach that status next week).

Notable Tracks include Chris Young’s “Who I AM With You,” Joe Nichols “Yeah,” Blake Shelton/Gwen Sebastian’s “My Eyes” and Jamie Lynn Spears “How Could I Want More.”
