number one songs

Dierks Bentley returns to the top of the country singles chart this week for hte 10th time in his career with his latest hit, ’5-1-5-0.’ The tune hit No. 1 on both the Billboard and Mediabase / Country Aircheck charts, after inching its way up through the Top 5 over the past few weeks.

Luke Bryan has done it again! The singer has topped the Country Singles chart this week with his latest release, ‘Drunk on You.’ The tune is Bryan’s second consecutive No. 1 song, following a previous hit that he co-wrote with the Peach Pickers, ‘I Don’t Want This Night to End.’

Last week it was party time once again for Lee Brice. This time, however, he was not celebrating a song he wrote for another artist, but rather his own hit song, ‘A Woman Like You.’ Brice and the song’s three writers — Phil Barton, Jon Stone and Johnny Bulford — gathered at CMA headquarters in Nashville where they were honored with the song that topped the country singles chart back in April.

George Strait hasn’t been writing and releasing music since he was born, but if he had, and he had one No.1 hit every year of his life, he would be right where he is now. The 59-year-old country king is celebrating his astounding 59th No. 1 hit with ‘Love’s Gonna Make It Alright’ from his September 2011 Grammy-nominated record, ‘Here for a Good Time.’

This week, Chris Young has once again topped the charts with his latest single, ‘You.’ With a new No. 1 under his belt, Young’s chart-topping streak increases to five straight No. 1 hits, following the success of ‘Gettin’ You Home (The Black Dress Song),’ ‘The Man I Want to Be,’ ‘Voices’ and ‘Tomorrow.’

There has been a growing Facebook trend of folks posting the name (and sometimes the video) of the song that was number one when they were born.
