Chart Roundup – Week of September 21st, 2013

Florida Georgia Line Score 3rd Radio #1 With 'Round Here'

Of course, Luke Bryan
sits atop the charts yet again this week with ‘That’s My Kind of Night’, and
his album ‘Crash My Party’. The only chart he hasn’t yet conquered is Country
Airplay, which unfortunately has equally been besmirched by Florida Georgia Line’s ‘Round Here’,
now at #1. The former is up to #8 on the radio chart, however, and will
inevitably get to #1 very soon. In addition ‘Crash My Party’ the single is
still riding high at #8 on Country Digital Songs and #11 on Hot Country Songs.

In regards the latter, Florida
Georgia Line
’s ‘Round Here’ seems to not yet be at the peak of its success.
It’s at #5 on Country Digital Songs and #3 on Hot Country Songs, while
naturally ‘Cruise’ tops it holding onto #2 on both charts. ‘Here’s To The Good
Times’ also looks unmoveable at #3 on Top Country Albums. Then we have Jason Aldean’s ‘Night Train’; #4 across
Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay, and #6 on Country Digital Songs, with
the album of the same name up to #7 this week. Jason could have reached his
peak with this one but there could be a couple more higher positions in it.

Chart Roundup – Week of September 14th, 2013

Thomas-Rhett-2013-300

Looks like we another long-staying chart topper in Luke Bryan’s ‘That’s My Kind of Night’.
True, it may only be his 3rd week at #1 on Hot Country Songs and
Country Digital Songs, but who really sees this polarizing track slowing down?
It has, after all, moved up five places this week to #10 on Country Airplay,
and is accompanied by his fourth studio album, ‘Crash My Party’, also at #1.
The reigning ACM Entertainer of The Year is having a year unrivalled (don’t
forget all those ACA awards last December too) and I can’t see ‘That’s My Kind
of Night’ falling from the top spot for a good several more weeks. If that
weren’t enough, his previous hit ‘Crash My Party’ is still at #9 on Hot Country
Songs and #7 on Country Digital Songs, and
his 2011 release ‘Tailgates & Tanlines’ is still at #5 on Top Country
Albums. Jeez.
