Country Sweep: September 15, 2012...

Hey folks, I'm back with the fouth part of today's five-part "chart sweeps" of the latest singles making their way on to the weekly music charts at Billboard magazine. This time out it's the newest on country radio.

On the Hot Country Songs chart, Little Big Town's "Pontoon" deservedly captures the #1 spot.

Texas native Kacey Musgraves was on the singing competition show Nashville Star in 2007, and now she has her first solo hit single at #50 with "Merry Go Round"...

Missouri-born singer Tyler Farr was on the chart earlier this year with the minor hit "Hot Mess", and he returns at #54 with "Hello Goodbye"...

Gary Allan is my favorite of the New Country Troubadours, and he's accrued three #1 country hits in his career so far, the last being 2004's "Nothing On But The Radio". He's back with the first single from his upcoming non-named album, "Every Storm (Runs Out Of Rain)"...

Craig Morgan had Billboard's biggest country song of 2005 with the #1 "That's What I Love About Sunday", and he returns at #56 with the third single from his This Ole Boy album, "More Trucks Than Cars"...

That closes this chapter...check back in an hour and a half and I'll finish this off with the latest dance jams in the clubs and on the radio. Twang on!
