Carrie Underwood - "Before He Cheats"

[detsaw]

I hear this all the time now.

[hoodboy424]

I cant believe she has a top 10 pop hit!.

[Keeps gettin Better]

Congrats carrie.........She finally did it!...She has a Pop Hit..... ;D

[The Music Man]

f**k no. Justin just leapfrogged her and now she got stuck at #11 for the final update. And of course she was only 4 spins away from Diddy and had a bigger bullet so she'll jump over him tomorrow. Hopefully she can keep up the pace and hang on to score a Top 10 next week.

[dperkins]

I HOPE! This soo deserves to be Top 10. I think she will get a Top 10 hit though.

13 11 DAUGHTRY Home 5358 4717 641
10 12 DIDDY Last Night (f/Keyshi... 5326 5044 282

Which means she could be at #9! But things are gonna be close so she could go up or down. But I doubt Justin will hit a brick wall this week so she can pass him. So it looks like #9 is her best bet.

I just turned on Z100 and this was on... and it was a line like "right now she's probably singing some white trash version of Shania kareoke" and I'm like uhhh, did she really just that? Tacky.

I thought the same thing when I saw the video on Vh1. I really hate the verses to this song!

[tozion]

Moves 11-8 on the Hot 100.

[I HATE LA REID]

i'm happy for her

SEPTEMBER TO MAY ROMANCE: Does September of last year seem like a long time ago? In chart terms, it's almost an eternity. But for those of you who can recall last fall, the week of Sept. 16, 2006 was when Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats" (Arista) debuted on the Hot 100. Now in its 38th week on the tally, "Cheats" rewrites chart history as it has taken the longest trip of any song into the top 10.

Before "Before," the song that took the longest to reach the top 10 was Creed's "Higher," which took 36 weeks (in two chart runs) to achieve top 10 status. "Higher" moved into the top 10 the week of July 8, 2000.

"Cheats" rises 11-8 based on pop airplay. It is the first single by a female country artist to reach No. 1 on Hot Country Songs and then break into the top 10 of the Hot 100 since Faith Hill's "The Way You Love Me" peaked at No. 6 in January 2001.

This is Underwood's third top 10 hit on the Hot 100. She spent one week in pole position in July 2005 with "Inside Your Heaven," the song she performed on the fourth season finale of "American Idol." Three weeks ago she debuted and peaked at No. 6 with her cover of the Pretenders' "I'll Stand By You" (Fremantle), from the special charity edition of "Idol."

The triumph of "Cheats" coincides with the removal of the follow-up, "Wasted," from Hot Country Songs. "Wasted" enters the country recurrent list at No. 1, giving the "Idol" franchise its 123rd chart-topper, counting all national, domestic charts compiled by the Billboard Information Group.

This is awesome Congrats. Carrie!

[The Music Man]

This may actually go Top 10 this week at CHR! Keep falling Gym Class Heroes! And Z100 has really embraced this - they shifted it into sub-power rotation. Not bad at all!

[The Music Man]

Officially Top 10 at Pop! #9 to be exact. Not bad at all for a country crossover!

[I HATE LA REID]

lmao and whoa at a country song going top 10 and kelly clarkson's first single missing the top 20...radio is so weird.

[tozion]

I am SO f**king sick of this song now. I feel like it's been around forever.

[cactus tree]

this sounds awesome up loud on the radio

Well, it first broke the charts last September, so I can kind of see where you're coming from. But all of Carrie's singles have hung around forever - I think this might actually be the one with the shortest chart run at Country.

[tozion]

Yeah, but this one actually crossed over. So it started taking off at the end of last summer and now it's almost the beginning of this summer and it's Top 10 at CHR/Pop.

[tick / tock]

I still am in love with this song

[tozion]

RCA sent out a Rhythmic mix.

[I HATE LA REID]

lol...what?!
