With five weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, Blake Shelton's "Austin" ties a record set by Billy Ray Cyrus in 1992. Cyrus' "Achy Breaky Heart" stayed atop the chart for five weeks, setting the mark for an artist's debut single in the Broadcast Data Systems era of the chart. BDS began monitoring radio play for the chart in January of 1991.
Holding their positions on the singles chart are Toby Keith's "I'm Just Talkin' About Tonight" at No. 2, Keith Urban's "Where the Blacktop Ends" at No. 3 and Cyndi Thomson's "What I Really Meant to Say" at No. 4. Brooks & Dunn's "Only in America" moves up a notch to No. 5. Singles making significant progress are Tim McGraw's "Angry All the Time" (up to No. 7 from No. 12), Trick Pony's "On a Night Like This" (up to No. 19 from No. 21) and Travis Tritt's "Love of A Woman" (up to No. 20 from No. 23).
