Chart Notes 4/15/18
Ross Copperman commands a strong lead and extends his rule to 8 consecutive weeks at No. 1 based upon seven active song titles. But challenges are building. Shane McAnally leaps from No. 33 to No. 7 based on four songs with increasing points; and Josh Osborne takes a similar jump from No. 40 to No. 11 with five songs gaining chart ground. And speaking about writers and pens on the page, Ashley Gorley moves up from No. 5 to No. 3 with four titles.
