A twenty two week chart campaign for Justin Moore’s cover of “If Heaven Wasn’t So Far Away” has finally paid off with a number one ranking.
The country song rose to the top spot on the Billboard Country Songs chart, the music publication confirmed this week. It topped Blake Shelton’s hit “Honey Bee” for the positioning.
The overall world of music, meanwhile, belongs to “Party Rock Anthem” from LMFAO, which spends another week atop the Hot 100. Billboard also gave the song a “top gainer” ranking thanks to its strong sales and airplay performance.
“Rope” remains the top rock song, giving the Foo Fighters another record in the world of rock singles. Interestingly, the band’s “Walk” could be the track that finally pulls “Rope” from the top spot–it is a “top gainer” at number three, sitting just behind Seether’s also-rising “Country Song.”
Kelly Rowland’s “Motivation (featuring Lil Wayne)” leads the R&B/Hip-Hop chart, while J-Lo’s “I’m Into You (featuring Lil Wayne)” tops the dance/club play genre.
