George Strait has held the #1 spot for most of the month of September, but Brad Paisley takes over this week with 29 listeners, one more than Strait. Dwight Yoakam, having a bit of a resurgence despite not having any new material, tied
Tim McGraw for third place with 24.
Miranda Lambert, who’s got a brand new album coming out tomorrow, came in at #5 with 23. Tomorrow is going to be a very busy purchasing day for country music listeners, and we should see a decent boost from a few artists on the chart besides Lambert, including Patty Loveless (#15, 18 listeners),
Robert Earl Keen (#150, 6),
The Avett Brothers (#150, 6) and
Corb Lund (#350, 3). This is, assuming that everyone has a nearly unlimited shopping budget thanks to this great economy, where salaries are high and no one has to decide between food and luxury items like new music.
