Country Music Billboard Charts – 4/29/2011

   

Kenny Chesney’s current single, “Live a Little,” tells us we should “take some time, waste it on Number One.” Now, that song is number one on Billboard’s country singles chart. Sara Evans’ single is “A Little Bit Stronger” at number two. And Miranda Lambert’s “Heart Like Mine” is in third.

Over on Billboard’s country albums chart, Alison Krauss and Union Station are where they were last week: at number one with “Paper Airplane.” Jason Aldean stays in second with “My Kinda Party.” And Taylor Swift’s “Speak Now” has climbed back up to number two. It was number five last week.
