The Band Perry score the #1 slot with “Better Dig Two” for the first time (Talyor, Hunter or Florida Georgia Line were always ahead of them) thanks to solid consistent sales of 70k this week, bringing their total singles sold just under 800k. Blake Shelton’s new single “Sure Be Cool If You Did” has moved 161k in two weeks and is this week’s #2 selling single. #3 single “Cruise is only 130k away from Double Platinum while Gary Allan’s “Every Storm (Runs Out Of Rain)” is next with sales now hitting nearly 750k. Hunter Hayes Double Platinum single “Wanted” is next and has actually sold nearly 2.4 million copies as it rises up to Top 15 on the Adult Contemporary chart and Top 30 (#26) on the Pop Radio Airplay Chart.
Darius Rucker “Wagon Wheel” Breaks Into Top 10
All signs are pointing to “Wagon Wheel” becoming one of - if not the biggest - hit of Darius Rucker’s career and it’s no surprise as “Wagon Wheel” is an exceptionally likeable song (so likeable that the original version from String Band Old Crow Medicine Show is Platinum and nearly Top 30 on this chart). Just before Darius on this week’s chart is Taylor Swift’s divisive pop hit “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.” The single has sold 3.25 million singles to date, which is a number that is similar to her Pop-only single from “Red,” “I Knew You Were Trouble” - the track has sold 2.9m singles to date - a song which tops the Pop Airplay charts this week. Tim McGraw’s “One Of Those Nights” is up five slots to #8 this week with sales now at 273k for the sophomore single from the upcoming “Two Lanes Of Freedom” album, his debut for Big Machine Records. Jason Aldean’s nearly Gold “The Only Way I Know,” which sits at #3 on the Country Airplay chart this week behind Randy Houser’s “How Country Feels” and Gary Allan’s “Every Storm (Runs Out Of Rain)” is the #9 single on the chart this week while Little Big Town’s “Tornado” remains at #10 and is just under 52k away from being their second-consecutive Gold (or better) selling single.
Kid Rock’s “All Summer Long” Debuts After Years of Being ‘album only’; Miranda Lambert “Mama’s Broken Heart” Up 20 spots this week.
Carrie Underwood is up 4 slots to #11 this week with “Two Black Cadillacs” while Kacey Musgraves (who just announced an album release for “Same Trailer, Different Park” in late March) is at #14 for a second week with “Merry Go Round.” Lee Brice’s “I Drove Your Truck” breaks into the Top 20 while Kid Rock debuts with “All Summer Long” his 2008 hit which was previously unavailable digitally until last week. Given the massive success of a 4 year old single, it’s not hard to speculate that the song would’ve been multi-platinum if it had been available to purchase before now (in fact, lots of copycat singles ended up selling extremely well because of this). Miranda Lambert’s “Mama’s Broken Heart” sits at #22 this week with a sales gain of 8,000 tracks, enough to give her a boost of 20 slots on the sales chart. The song is the fifth single from “Four The Record.” Finally, Hayden Panettiere debuts at #29 with “Boys and Buses,” the latest single from her TV show “Nashville” to appear on these charts (her song “Telescope” is a Top 30 hit).
Keith Urban’s “Act of Valor” soundtrack hit, “For You” may have not won a Golden Globe but the single has surpassed the Gold sales mark with sales now at 512k. Tim McGraw’s “I Like It, I Love It” has also surpassed the Gold sales mark for Digital Single sales with 514k in sales, “Just To Se You Smile also surpassed Gold in the past few months with sales at 531k. Finally, Jake Owen’s recent hit “The One That Got Away” surpassed the Gold sales mark last week.
