What's Hot on the Charts

Rodney Atkins' "It's America" has finally reached it's deserved spot of #1 on the Billboard Country Singles Chart. I am so happy for this, because this is seriously an amazing song. For the second week in a row, Rascal Flatts' "Unstoppable" has been #1 for Top Country Albums Chart. Rascal Flatts has really stepped up their sound and come out with something great, and as the results show, everyone else agrees with me. 

New songs that are making their appearance on the charts are Taylor Swift's "You Belong With Me, Miranda Lambert's "Dead Flowers", and Joe Nichols' "Believers". These are all real good songs. What makes me laugh about the Taylor Swift song coming to the charts is that this song has been out for a while. It was on her "Fearless" album that came out back in February. I think it is showing that people are finally getting passed listening to her top songs ("Love Story" and "White Horse") over and over, and finally listening to the rest of the CD. 

Jason Aldean's new album, "Wide Open", is finally making it's way to it's well earned spot of #2 on the Top Country Albums Chart. Followed by Taylor Swift's "Fearless", Keith Urban's "Defying Gravity", and Carrie Underwood's "Carnival Ride". All these albums are really great and what is really cool about all of them is it is showing a new side to all of these artists. This is Aldean's first full album and he is really starting to make some real progress. This is Swift's second album and her sound is really starting to mature and starting to sound a lot better. Keith Urban has always been absolutely amazing and so has Carrie Underwood, but their new albums are even better and shows that they are true country legends.

Darius Rucker is the new guy in town and, boy, is he sure coming in with a bang. Already out with two major hot singles, he is just making his way. He's almost making it look easy. His soothing voice is winning the heart's of the ladies and he is said to be working on an album. If you haven't heard any of his work yet, I suggest you get on that :)
