We're back on schedule this week with the charts and not much has changed in the Top 5 this week but a few songs swapping slots. Luke Bryan's "Strip It Down" remains at #1, Sam Hunt's "House Party" and Cam's "Buy Me A Boat" swap #2 and #4 while at #3 is Chris Janson's "Buy Me A Boat," one of the few songs this week's Top 10 to gain sales week over week. at #5 is Keith Urban's "John Cougar, John Mellencamp, John 3:16." This song is trending to hit Gold.
Top 10 Notes
Sitting at #6 is last week's #8 single, Thomas Rhett's "Crash And Burn." It has scanned 667k while Eric Church's "Like A Wrecking Ball", with 909k scanned to date is at #7. Luke Bryan's "Kick The Dust Up" at #8 while Carrie Underwood's "Smoke Break" is at #9 with 109k scanned in two weeks while Brett Eldredge's "Lose My Mind" is at #10 with 319k scanned to date.
Notable Track Notes
Old Dominion are at #11 with their "Break Up With Him." The single has scanned 390k to date and will most-certainly hit Gold before just-announced Meat & Candy hits stores in November. Dylan Scott's "Crazy Over Me" debuts at #14 with 16k scanned while Brett Eldredge's "Wanna Be That Song" has scanned 16k as well to debut at #15. The single is the last preview single from Brett's now-released Illinois album. It likely is his sophomore single from the album as well. Other notables are Maddie & Tae's "Fly" at #23, Danielle Bradbery's "Friend Zone" at #24 with 17k scanned to date and Sam Hunt's #25 with sales of 427k to date (it was sent to radio today).

Brian C. Cole
If I'm not mistaken, "Break Up In A Small Town" is the first Country song to ever include the F-bomb. It's of course censored, but if you listen to closely to when he's rapidly speaking/singing the lyrics right after the musical break, you will hear him say "---- this guy!", and the music is still going behind in the song. It's my favorite song by Hunt yet though!
