The revolving door atop the Mediabase country airplay chart continues.<\/p>\n
The latest entrant is Eric Church’s “Talladega,” which seizes the throne from Kenny Chesney’s “Til it’s Gone.”<\/p>\n
Like Brad Paisley’s predecessor “Perfect Storm,” the Chesney track spent only one week at #1.<\/p>\n
In its quest to reach #1, Church’s “Talladega” faced a legitimate threat in the form of Carrie Underwood’s “Something in the Water.”<\/p>\n
That song, in fact, actually commanded six more spins during the January 18-24 tracking week (7,935 vs. 7,929). “Talladega,” however, scored more Mediabase points** and thus officially becomes the format’s #1 song.<\/p>\n
Number four on last week’s chart, Underwood’s “Water” claims #2 this week.<\/p>\n
Luke Bryan’s “I See You” holds at #3, while Florida Georgia Line’s “Sun Daze” (#4) and the aforementioned “Til it’s Gone” (#5) close out the top five.<\/p>\n
**Mediabase’s country airplay chart relies on a points system that assigns a specific score to the airplay a song receives in each market. As a general rule, spins in larger markets are worth more points.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1047],"tags":[42,1022,432,2458,598,2980,2934],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
