number one hits

Brantley Gilbert has yet another reason to smile these days, as his latest single, ‘You Don’t Know Her Like I Do,’ has topped the country singles charts. The tune is Gilbert’s second-consecutive No. 1 hit, following in the footsteps of his previous hit, ‘Country Must Be Country Wide.’

There was little doubt that Scotty McCreery would have the No. 1 country album in America this week, but his fans may be surprised to learn that the 18-year-old is tops in all genres, by a wide margin. ‘Clear as Day’ was purchased by 197,000 fans in its debut week.

Over the last few years — and multi-platinum albums — Taylor Swift has taken up seemingly permanent residence on the charts, not to mention the hearts and iPods of millions of fans. Now, she also has a pair of spots in the Guinness Book of World Records to call her own.
