Urban tops song charts

Tuesday, October 20, 2009 – Keith Urban has hit number one on the country song chart for the 11th time with Only You Can Love Me This Way. This is the second chart topper from "Defying Gravity" with Sweet Thing also turning the trick.

He takes over the top of the Billboard song chart from Chris Young's first number one Gettin' You Home.

Urban has been busy, having played a sold-out show at Madison Square Garden in New York City, a concert event, which came the evening before he officially closed out the North American leg of his "Escape Together World Tour."

Urban is set to perform on the CMAs in November before heading down under for the Australian leg of his "Escape Together World Tour."

The charts will be officially released Thursday.

Opener "Coming Home" may borrow (steal?) a guitar riff from Merle Haggard's "Mama Tried," but this is where that country road begins and ends. Urban follows "Coming Home" with "Never Comin' Down," which is introduced with a funky bass line ...
