We're up to the fourth of today's five "chart sweeps" of the latest songs hitting the Billboard weekly music charts, and this time out it's the newest on country radio.

Four-piece vocal group Little Big Town are back at #47 with the title track from their latest album, "Tornado". The first single from the set, "Pontoon" became their first #1 country hit this summer...

Georgia native Joanna Smith has her third charting single in three years at #55 with "We Can't be Friends", which already ties the peak of her biggest so far, "Gettin' Married" from 2010...

Clay Walker has been one of my favorites that's managed to stay in the game since the 1990's, and like Swift, he's had six #1 hits, though his first, "What's It To You", came in October of 1993, when Taylor was three years old. Lord. His latest, the fourth single from his ninth studio album She Won't Be Lonely Long, is "Jesse James", which arrives at #57...

Nashville trio The FARM INC's debut single, "Home Sweet Home", made the top-20, and the followup, "Be Grateful", is the last entry at #59...

That does it for this week's country goodness...stick around in an hour and a half I'll close this week's single "sweeps" up with the latest dance hits in the clubs and on the radio. Twang on!
