* NOW A LOOK AT COUNTRY MUSIC & THE PEOPLE MAKING IT TODAY *
Sugarland Has Nation’s Top Album, Country’s Top Song
SugarlandSugarland has it all this week — the top coun-
try album, the best-selling album overall and the No. 1
country song. It’s the Georgia duo’s strongest showing
ever.
Last week, Sugarland new album, Love on the Inside,
soared straight to the summit of Billboard’s country
rankings. But Miley Cyrus relegated the album to
second place on the all-format Billboard 200 list
with her latest collection, Breakout. Now Sugarland
has toppled Cyrus from that slot.
Moreover, after an 11-week climb, Sugarland’s current
single, “All I Want to Do,” has reached the peak of
the country songs chart. Drinks for everybody!
Taylor Swift continues to own the No. 2 and No. 3
album positions, respectively, with Taylor Swift and
Beautiful Eyes. And her single, “Should’ve Said No,”
hangs in as the No. 5 song, dropping slightly from
the No. 4 berth it occupied last week.
There’s just one new album this period — Micky & the
Motorcars’ Naïve, which parks at No. 43. First-timers
on the song chart are Kenny Chesney’s “Everybody Wants
to Go to Heaven” (checking in at No. 22); Billy Ray
Cyrus’ “Somebody Said a Prayer” (No. 53); Carolina
Rain’s “American Radio” (No. 57); and Kristy Lee
Cook’s “15 Minutes of Shame” (No. 58).
Five albums and two songs return to the charts, the
album titles being Chesney’s Super Hits (No. 66),
Playlist: The Very Best of Roy Orbison (No. 70), Hank
Williams Jr.’s Hank Jr.: Collector’s Edition (No. 71),
Dan Tyminski’s Wheels (No. 74) and Playlist: The Very
Best of Willie Nelson (No. 75). Plus One Flew South’s
“My Kind of Beautiful” (No. 56) and Trisha Yearwood’s
“They Call It Falling for a Reason” (No. 59).
Just behind Sugarland and Swift, Toby Keith’s 35 Big-
gest Hits and Sugarland’s Enjoy the Ride complete this
week’s Top 5 album list in that order. The No. 2
through No. 4 songs are Keith Urban’s “You Look Good
in My Shirt,” Alan Jackson’s “Good Time” and Brooks &
Dunn’s “Put a Girl in It.”
