Colin Lovequist is on the road today as part of our virtual country cookouts which means I’ll be hosting number 1’s at 1 today.
Coming up on the show today:
Lester Flatt of the Foggy Mountain Boys and Flatt and Scruggs died of heart failure on this day in 1979.
The Everly Brothers made their Grand Ole Opry debut on May 11th, 1957 singing what would become their first number 1, “Bye Bye Love.”
Reba McEntire landed another number 1 on the chart on this day in 1985 with “Somebody Should Leave.”
This week in 1988 Highway 101 was enjoying a one week ride at number 1 with “Cry, Cry,Cry.”
George Strait was at number 1 on May 11th, 1991 with “If I know me” and had the number 1 album this week in 1996 with “Blue Clear Sky.”
Jess Moskaluke at the top selling single in Canada this week in 2014 with “Cheap Wine and Cigarettes.”
We’ll have these hits and more coming up at 1:00 this afternoon. I hope you’ll join us!
