Josh Turner stayed second on the song chart with All Over Me. Darius Rucker moved from five to three with Come Back Song. Easton Corbin's Roll With It dropped one to fourth, while Sugarland's first single from their upcoming CD, Stuck Like Glue, was up two to fifth.

As She's Walking Away by Zac Brown Band Featuring Alan Jackson was up three to ninth. Most of the rest of the top 30 showed little movement. Luke Bryan stood at 23, up 3, with Someone Else Calling You Baby. Tim McGraw's new single Felt Good on My Lips jumped from 33 to 26.
