On the heels of Sunday’s ACM Awards ceremony, numerous country songs have rocketed to the upper reaches of the US iTunes sales chart.<\/p>\n
As of press time at 1:55AM ET, ACM-boosted songs occupy seven of the top ten slots — including the top three positions.<\/p>\n
Following her show-stopping performance, Carrie Underwood’s “Cry Pretty” is back to #1 on the chart.<\/p>\n
Bebe Rexha’s “Meant To Be (featuring Florida Georgia Line)” is #2, while Jason Aldean’s “You Make It Easy” is #3.<\/p>\n
Kenny Chesney’s “Get Along” follows at #5, ahead of Luke Bryan’s “Most People Are Good” (#6), Blake Shelton’s “I Lived It” (#8), and Kane Brown’s “What Ifs (featuring Lauren Alaina)” (#9).<\/p>\n
All seven of the aforementioned songs were performed during Sunday’s show. “You Make It Easy” received an additional boost by virtue of Aldean’s Entertainer of the Year win.<\/p>\n
