What do you think?

I think Keith has a great chance of moving pretty far up, BUT prefer he move up on the most #1s chart.

[countrychartnut]

^I agree. I would rather update that thread than this one.

Make no mistake--this is an important chart too that we all like to see. Next best thing to #1!

[countrychartnut]

Welcome Jason Aldean to the list as he becomes the 55th artist in history with a quartet of #2 hits. They are:
1. Crazy Town-2010
2. My Kinda Party-2011
3. Tattoos On This Town-2011-his biggest #2 hit
4. Gonna Know We Were Here-2016

I have given Randy Travis his hall of fame credit. Congratulations to him, Charlie Daniels, and Fred Foster.

I'm still waiting for them to induct Alan Jackson, who is both a gifted songwriter and singer--he stayed relevant on the charts for many years (and still is relevant as far as I am concerned).

[countrychartnut]

I have updated Carrie Underwood's #2s totals to eight with Dirty Laundry.

[countrychartnut]

Because of The Fighter peaked at #2, I have updated two artists' #2s totals. Keith Urban now has seven while Carrie Underwood has nine.
