Tim McGraw jumped from 28 to 21 with Southern Girl. Lady Antebellum was up three to 24, with Goodbye Town.

On the albums chart, Blake Shelton was second with "Based on a True Story..." and Hayes third with his self-titled disc. Vince Gill & Paul Franklin's ode, "Bakersfield," debuted in fourth. Darius Rucker was fifth with "True Believers."

Carrie Underwood went from 18 to 14 with "Blown Away." The Oak Ridge Boys debuted at 38 with "40th Anniversary: 1973-2013: Celebrating Faith, Family & Freedom."

On the Bluegrass Albums chart, Steve Martin and Edie Brickell were first with "Love Comes For You." Steep Canyon Rangers was second with "Nobody Knows You." Steven Curtis Chapman was third, Old Crow Medicine Show fourth with "Carry Me Back" and Steve Ivey fifth with "Best of Bluegrass; Collector's Edition."
