Our weekly dive into the sales numbers for the best-selling tracks in country music.

Sam Hunt's "Take Your Time" is at #3 while Florida Georgia Line's "Sippin' On Fire" sits at #4. Rounding out the Top 5 is Eric Church's "Like A Wrecking Ball."

    I haven't heard it yet, but there is a second version of "Girl Crush" now being played at some non-Country outlets. I've been told the song is musically the same, but includes added percussion, and this particular non-Country fan really liked it. So far, 12 monitored Mediabase Hot AC stations have added "Girl Crush," and two Top 40 stations did this past week too. It's a bit unusual for the label to go for the crossover while the song is still climbing at Country, but I'm sure they want to get a jump on the BBMAs.

    No biggie, but you have the wrong week up when you click to see the top 30. Any chance of fixing that?
