'CLEANING' UP: There's plenty of respect for Rodney Atkins on the Hot Country Songs chart, where the Knoxville-born artist scores his fourth consecutive No. 1 song. "Cleaning This Gun (Come On In Boy)" (Curb) rises 3-1 to become the fourth chart-topper from Atkins' album, "If You're Going Through Hell." The first three No. 1 hits from the album were "If You're Going Through Hell (Before the Devil Even Knows)," "Watching You" and "These Are My People."
While a number of artists have pulled three No. 1s from an album, Atkins is the first to have four No. 1s on one album since label mate Tim McGraw did it in 2001-2002 with "Grown Men Don't Cry," "Angry All the Time," "The Cowboy in Me" and "Unbroken," all from his "Set This Circus Down" CD.
Chart Beat reader John Maverick of Burt County, Nebraska, points out that Atkins is the second artist this year to score four No. 1 hits in a row, following Brad Paisley. Maverick notes that, ironically, Paisley may soon score four No. 1s from an album as the song that "Cleaning" deposed, "Letter to Me," was his third No. 1 in a row from his "5th Gear" set.
