At the point at which she won, Pope explains, “I had dabbled in both country and the pop rock genres and they came together in a really cool way. So when [Universal Republic] asked me what I wanted to do, I told them I wanted to take the country route. They said, ‘Well, Scott Borchetta has expressed an interest in you for a while now, so this is perfect.’” Arrangements to bring her to Nashville for a signing Later, Cake Was Served: As Willie Nelson celebrates his 80th birthday (4/30), we crank up the way-back photo and meetings proved insufficient. “We started to machine to 1983, courtesy of then WWWW/Detroit PD book the travel to have her stay the week, but she didn’t Barry Mardit (l).

Kenny Chesney Life On A Rock (Blue Chair/Columbia) “The spirit of this record is so much about friendship,” Chesney says. “A lot of these songs were inspired by the people I’ve met, the lives we’ve shared and the way they inspired me.” Those friends include Willie Nelson, who joins Chesney for the track “Coconut Tree,” and The Wailers, who help him out on “Spread The Love.”

Indicative of the baton-passing Country is famous for when it comes to “Mt. Rushmore” artists is the conspicuous absence of longtime core artists Garth Brooks and George Strait. Brooks placed five songs on the list in 2010, two in ‘11, and one last year. The final Garth song to come off this year, “Friends In Low Places,” has been a gold mainstay on Country radio for more than 20 years. George Strait had four on this list in ‘10 and two in ‘11. Last year’s sole Strait title, 1999’s “Write This Down,” comes off in 2013. Alan Jackson remains with this year’s No. 4 song, but has trended down too, from seven titles in ‘10 and two last year. Toby Keith still has six songs on the list, but 1993’s “Should’ve Been A Cowboy” isn’t one of them. Check out the entire Top 100 on page 10.
