Carrie Underwood 'Blown Away' Single Tops the Charts

Charles Sykes, Invision/AP

Carrie Underwood is queen of the country charts this week as her latest single, "Blown Away," moves into the top spot on both the Billboard and Mediabase/Country Aircheck survey. The title track from her already-chart-topping album becomes the superstar's 13th No. 1 Billboard single, which includes her 2011 duet with Brad Paisley, "Remind Me."

Carrie's move into the top spot on both charts means Jason Aldean's "Take a Little Ride" begins its descent from the No. 1 position. Dustin Lynch remains at No. 2 with "Cowboys and Angels" according to Mediabase, and he's at No. 3 with that hit on the Billboard countdown. Lee Brice is closing in on another No. 1 hit, with "Hard to Love" at Billboard's No. 2 spot. He's currently No. 4 on the Mediabase chart. The strongest mover within the Top 10 on both charts is Luke Bryan's "Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye."

Little Big Town continues to pick up speed with "Tornado," moving for 44 to 37 on the Mediabase chart and 41 to 32 on Billboard in just three weeks. Newcomer Florida Georgia Line ("Cruise"), meanwhile, inches closer to scoring their first Top 10 hit.

Carrie Underwood, whose Blown Away album has topped charts in the US and Canada, and reached Australia's Top 5, continues the Blown Away tour. She'll be at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Tuesday (Oct. 16) and has two more shows in California this week. Keep track of her tour dates here.

Congrats to Carrie #1 .. It is just to bad no one bought this song as it was not a #1 country song .. Just a #1 radio country played song .. It only got as high as #23 sold for Itunes for 1 day .. Digital

I think it's kind of funny how Taylor Swift fans are out looking for stories about Carrie Underwood. Shows how obsessive and well, twelve, they are. Taylor needs to get older fans if she wants to be relevant in 10 years.

Does anyone think my favorite singer Carrie Underwood can get a real #1? Even I know this is not the real Billboard #1 country chart, It is some new kinda chart for songs that did not hit the big Billboard country chart #1 (a second place kinda chart)
kinda like the special Olympics for people with disabilities.

I would have to say that is a great analogy of what Carrie's new #1 is. Like a second place chart for those that can not compete with the BIG star like Taylor Swift that has the Billboard #1 and #2 country songs right now on Billboard on the BIG chart for country music = country song chart, so they made a new chart for smaller star's to compete with each other.

Actually, the real problem is that Taylor can't get played on country radio so she needs her pop fans to get her "country" chart placements.

This song is #3 on billboard country not #1 .... Taylor Swift is #1 and #2 ... Carrie is using a trick obsolete radio only chart. Other country singer would be lauging at trying to make you think that #1 Aircheck is important ... lol ... #1 billboard country is the chart for the last 50+ years!

Airplay On Billboard still counts as a number one, just like number 1 on Hot digital songs is still a number one. Hot country song combines the two and no she is not number one there but she is for airplay.

And radio might have a lot of backdoor dealing, but overall still plays what the audience wants to hear hence why Taylors Pop Song WeANEGB flopped on country radio.
The ONLY reason she is number 1 on the hot country songs is because of the songs pop airplay. It has less than 5 million AI's (audience impression) this past week whereas the number 1 song had almost 50 million.

My poor Carrie is reduced to puting up trick story's now ::: No one knows what mediabase is, but everyone knows what Billboard is and Carrie is #3 in country songs on Billboard. This will be her worst charting country song ever at #3. It is sad when singers get to the end of there music career and start using tricks to stay in the news. No one belives this is a real #1 song. it is a #3 song as Taylor is #1 and #2 right now. This is so disrespectful to the music world putting up misleading story's.

You idiots are talking about last weeks chart. This weeks chart isa new deal. Also, this isn't Carrie, it's the industries problem with the new "songs" chart. The COUNTRY INDUSTRY doesn't want pop fans - people listening to pop country on pop stations - to have that big of an influence on the country charts. The use of the word "haz bin" says "pop" listening 12 year old that's jumping around finding something to talk about Taylor about. An actual country radio listener wouldn't use that term. And, by the way, 99% of the country industry reports MEDIABASE and always has not Billboard.

This is funny #1 airplay? >> Taylor Swift has the #1 country song in music right now with " We are never ever " It looks like Carrie Underwood lives in denial. Someone wake her up!
