WAYNE'S MANNER: Jimmy Wayne is the second solo male artist to score his first No. 1 on Top Country Songs in 2008. "Do You Believe Me Now" (Valory) jumps 4-1. The song is Wayne's sixth chart entry; his previous best was the No. 3 peak of his debut single, "Stay Gone," in July 2003.

In May, James Otto collected his first No. 1 hit, when "Just Got Started Lovin' You" spent two weeks in the penthouse.

"Do You Believe Me Now" is the 12th No. 1 for a solo male artist this calendar year. Alan Jackson and Brad Paisley have topped the charts twice, and Rodney Atkins, Trace Adkins, George Strait, Kenny Chesney, Blake Shelton and Keith Urban have also led the list.

There have been three No. 1s by solo females; two by Carrie Underwood and one by Taylor Swift. Two duos have garnered top chart ink: Montgomery Gentry and Sugarland. The last group to have a country No. 1 was Heartland, with "I Loved Her First" in October 2006.

Wayne's "Do You Believe Me Now" is the first No. 1 for the independent Valory imprint. A sister label to Big Machine, Valory has had four chart entries to date, all by artists whose first names start with the letter "J." All four songs made their debuts this year. In order of peak position, they are:

No. 1: "Do You Believe Me Now," Jimmy Wayne No. 13: "Stronger Woman," Jewel No. 38: "I Do," Jewel No. 50: "Back That Thing Up," Justin Moore

Wait, someone released a COUNTRY song called "Back That Thing Up"?! I know it's not a Juvenile remake, but that makes me LOL so hard.
