Florida Georgia Line's "Cruise" keeps breaking records, locking #1 now for toomanyweekstocount. The rest of this week's top 5 are the same bunch as last week: Hunter Hayes at #2 with "I Want Crazy, Randy Houser at #3 with "Runnin' Outta Moonlight," Luke Bryan at #4 with "Crash My Party, and Blake Shelton and the Pistol Annies at #5 with "Boys 'Round Here." Shelton has another song presently moving up the charts. That's the drowsy ballad "Mine Would Be You," which namechecks hangovers and makeup sex, and make a double digit jump from #48 to #37 in its fourth week of release. Also moving up the charts is Train's crossover collaboration with Ashley Monroe, "Bruises"; it ended the week at #31. And let's not forget Jason Aldean's "Night Train," which keeps chugging along and moved from #23 to come to a squealing stop at #17.

And the everpresent Taylor Swift remains at #5 with her grown-up magnum opus Red.

Randy Houser's surge on the country airplay charts with the upbeat love song "Runnin' Outta Moonlight" was the big news this week. He rocketed from #5 to #1. Also of note: Hunter Hayes making the leap from #6 to #3 with "I Want Crazy," off his re-booted debut. Filling out the rest of the country radio top 5 are Kip Moore -- at #2 with "Hey Pretty Girl" -- Brett Eldredge -- at #4 with "Don't Ya" -- and Luke Bryan, reliably at #5 with "Crash My Party." All of that could change next week. Or stay exactly the same. It's been that kind of summer. Stay tuned.
