Taylor Swift, Zac Brown Band Top Albums and Airplay Charts - Christmas Music Makes Its Last Stand
January 5, 2013
Written by Edward Morris
Taylor Swift's Red refuses to budge from the peak of Billboard's country albums chart, an eminence it has enjoyed for 10 continuous weeks.
But on the airplay chart, the Zac Brown Band's "Goodbye in Her Eyes" replaces last week's champ, Justin Moore's "Til My Last Day."
Credit the Twelve Days of Christmas for the wealth of holiday music still on the Billboard country charts the final week of 2012.
Every one of the week's six new songs has a seasonal theme. From Blake Shelton we have "There's a New Kid in Town" with Kelly Clarkson (No. 44), "The Christmas Song" (No. 52) and "The Very Best Time of the Year" with Trypta-Phunk (No. 54).
From Scotty McCreery: "Jingle Bells" (No. 53) and "Let It Snow" (No. 59). And from Hunter Hayes: "Go Tell It on the Mountain" (No. 60).
Christmas albums remaining on the chart are Lady Antebellum's On This Winter's Night (No. 11), Shelton's Cheers, It's Christmas (No. 13), Christmas With Scotty McCreery (No. 14) and Willie Nelson's The Classic Christmas Album (No. 66).
Six albums return to the chart: the self-titled Thomas Rhett (No. 59), Rodney Atkins' Take a Back Road (No. 63), Jake Owen's Endless Summer EP (No. 67), Jerrod Niemann's Free the Music (No. 68), Lauren Alaina's Wildflower (No. 71) and the self-titled Edens Edge (No. 75).
The No. 2 through No. 5 albums are Jason Aldean's Night Train, Carrie Underwood's Blown Away, Florida Georgia Line's Here's to the Good Times and Little Big Town's Tornado.
Following "Goodbye in Her Eyes" in the Top 5 songs cluster are Moore's "Til My Last Day," Florida Georgia Line's "Cruise," Kip Moore's "Beer Money" and Kip Moore's "How Country Feels," in that order.
On Dec. 30, 1950 -- 62 years ago -- a new song entered Billboard's country songs chart. It would eventually spend 12 weeks there, two of them at No. 1, and become a landmark in America's musical history.
The song was pop star Patti Page's rendition of Pee Wee King and Redd Stewart's "The Tennessee Waltz."
In a 1981 interview, Page told me that Jerry Wexler -- then a reviewer for Billboard and later a major producer and partner in Atlantic Records -- recommended she cut the song after he heard bandleader Erskine Hawkins' version.
She took Wexler's advice and recorded it as the "B" side of a song she thought would be a big Christmas hit, "Boogie Woogie Santa Claus." The people thought otherwise and in so thinking gave Page a Christmas gift that lasted for life.
Patti Page died on New Year's Day at the age of 85.

George Strait Cops Top Album Slot (Again) - Darius Rucker's "Wagon Wheel" Is No. 1 Song
May 25, 2013
Written by Edward Morris
In yet another demonstration of his unwavering appeal, George Strait rockets his latest album, Love Is Everything, to the very top of this week's Billboard country albums chart.
Nielsen SoundScan pegs the record's initial sales at 119,598 copies, a number sufficient to lodge it at No. 2 on Billboard's all-genres list.
And there are more Strait achievements to note. Read on.
Darius Rucker's "Wagon Wheel" moves into the No. 1 berth on the country airplay chart after a 20-week climb.
The remaining new albums are Trace Adkins' Love Will (No. 6), Jason Boland & The Stragglers' Dark & Dirty Mile (No. 25) and Strait's Sixty Number Ones (No. 54).
Coming back to the albums chart are Old Crow Medicine Show's aptly named Carry Me Back (No. 69), Blackberry Smoke's The Whippoorwill (No. 74) and Jamey Johnson's Living for a Song: A Tribute to Hank Cochran (No. 75).
There are three new songs: Keith Urban's "Little Bit of Everything" (No. 30), Florida Georgia Line's "Round Here" (No. 54) and Adkins' "Watch the World End," featuring Colbie Caillat (No. 58).
The No. 2 through No. 5 albums, in that order, are Lady Antebellum's Golden (last week's No. 1), Pistol Annies' Annie Up, Blake Shelton's Based on a True Story and Kenny Chesney's Life on a Rock.
Rounding out the Top 5 songs array are Strait's "Give It All We Got Tonight," Tim McGraw's "Highway Don't Care" with Taylor Swift, Florida Georgia Line's "Get Your Shine On" and Shelton's "Boys 'Round Here," featuring Pistol Annies & Friends.
And while "Give It All We Got Tonight" is No. 2 on Billboard's country airplay chart, the single did reach No. 1 on the Mediabase airplay list, giving him his 60th No. 1 career hit as reflected by all trade publications, including the competing Mediabase chart used by Country Aircheck and, previously, Radio & Records. The track is still showing upward momentum on Billboard's airplay chart monitored by Nielsen BDS and is likely to become Strait's latest Billboard No. 1 on Monday (May 27).
Strait's record label, MCA Nashville, promoted the latest single as part of a "60 for 60" campaign. He celebrated his 61st birthday on May 18.
