On the Charts - Billboard Country Singles and Albums
Top 10 Country Singles
I was wrong last week when I said Keith Urban wouldn't be No. 1 because he most certainly is. His song, "Better Life," marks week number five at the top. Kenny Chesney moves to No. 2 with "Who You'd Be Today," Dierks Bentley's song, "Come A Little Closer," jumps a single spot to No. 3, and Rascal Flatts drops two spaces to No. 4 with "Skin (Sarabeth)." No. 5 finds Joe Nichols' "Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off" and Garth Brooks claims No.
6 with his song, "Good Ride Cowboy.""Probably Wouldn't Be This Way," by LeAnn Rimes, drops two spots to No. 7, Lonestar's "You're Like Comin' Home" remains at No. 8, and Gary Allan jumps two to No. 9 with "Best I Ever Had." Like last week, Toby Keith's "Big Blue Note" rounds out the Top 10. I'll give last week's prediction another go, and say that Kenny Chesney will be No. 1 next week.
Moving Up at the Speed of Light
Sara Evans jumped five spots this week with "Cheatin'" landing at No. 41 and Montgomery Gentry also jumped five with their song, "She Don't Tell Me To," hitting No. 30. The week's biggest gain was Jack Ingram's six spot jump to No. 43 with "Wherever You Are."
The Latest Tunes To Hit The Air Waves
Four songs hit the air waves for the first time this week: No. 60's "Beer In Mexico" and No. 59's "The Road And The Radio" (both by Kenny Chesney), No. 58's "Trying To Love You" (Trisha Yearwood), and the hot shot debut is Kenny Chesney with "Living In Fast Forward" at No. 54.
Top 10 Country Album Charts
Martina McBride's Timeless stays at No.
1 for the third week in a row. Montgomery Gentry's Something To Be Proud Of: The Best Of 1999-2005 debuted at No. 2. Rascal Flatts' Feels Like Today jumps one spot to No. 3. Terri Clark debuted at No. 4 with Life Goes On, Johnny Cash's The Legend Of Jonny Cash drops two spots to No. 5, and Joe Nichols drops four spots to No. 6 with III. Gretchen Wilson is All Jacked Up at No. 7, Fireflies, by Faith Hill, landed on No. 8, and Billy Currington's Doin' Somethin' Right is No. 9. Three spots lower than last week is Gary Allan's Tough All Over at No. 10.
New Album Releases
Based on pre-sales alone, Kenny Chesney's The Road And The Radio, at No. 58, made it onto the charts one week before its official release. As I've already mentioned before, Terri Clark's new album, Life Goes On, debuted at No. 4, while Montgomery Gentry's Something To Be Proud Of: The Best Of 1999-2005 debuted at No. 2.
NOTE: All chart rankings are based on the song or album's position on the Billboard Hot Country Singles Chart or Billboard Country Albums Chart for November 19, 2005.
