There has been a lot of movement on the Countrytown Music Network Hot 50 chart this week! Rachael Fahim jumps back into no. 1 position after a decent break. Middle Ground previously held the top spot for four weeks, before being dethroned by The Wolfe Brothers back in January.

Behind Fahim is US band Parmalee & Blanco Brown with Just The Way at #2, The Wolfe Brothers' Anybody Ever at #3, What’s Your Country Song by Thomas Rhett (#4) and Blake Shelton’s Minimum Wage in fifth.

Love Songs Ain’t For Us by Amy Shark feat. Keith Urban makes a jump into #6. Troy Cassar-Daley moves into #7 with Back On Country from his The World Today new album, just ahead of Taylor Swift feat. HAIM (#8), Darlinghurst (#9) and Andrew Swift’s Head Full of Honey rounding out the coveted top 10.

The biggest movers forward this week were Blake O’Connor’s Willin' and Ready up from #49 into 14th position and Chelsea Berman with Waste My Time at #24.
