CHART DATE: September 22 This chart is meant to reflect the onset of the 9/11 effect on country radio. My point of view is that the genre wasn't altered dramatically by the terrorist attacks. Sure, several songs became big hits that might have been written and recorded but wouldn't have been singles if not for 9/11. Overall, though, there didn't seem to be a newfound political correctness to the lyric content. There were fewer sad-and-lonely songs; I noticed that as I put together the charts for late 2001 and 2002. It will be fascinating to learn about how the day-to-day broadcast presentation changed initially. More on that next week.| TW | LW | Title and artist | | 1 | 2 | I WOULD'VE LOVED YOU ANYWAY...Trisha Yearwood | | 2 | 1 | WHAT I REALLY MEANT TO SAY...Cyndi Thomson | | 3 | 3 | WHERE I COME FROM...Alan Jackson | | 4 | 4 | WHILE YOU LOVED ME...Rascal Flatts | | 5 | 6 | COMPLICATED...Carolyn Dawn Johnson | | 6 | 5 | WHERE THE BLACKTOP ENDS...Keith Urban | | 7 | 7 | HOW COOL IS THAT...Andy Griggs | | 8 | 8 | LOVING EVERY MINUTE...Mark Wills | | 9 | 9 | ANGELS IN WAITING...Tammy Cochran | | 10 | --> | ONLY IN AMERICA...Brooks & Dunn |

CHART DATE: September 29 As promised, I perused the corresponding issue of Billboard. In the commentary section was an article called Radio Responds: Radio Holds America's Hand. A quote from the PD of a country station in Baltimore caught my eye. He said he was basically making decisions from one moment to the next. "This is far from over. I can't tell you what we're going to be doing tomorrow. If there's an air strike, we'll go back to [continuous news] coverage."
The PD of an AC station in North Carolina predicted, "It will probably change radio forever. There will be a dramatic shift in the charts as the emotion of the audience this week is no longer reflected in the music of last week." The 9/29 country chart showed that he was right to an extent. Mainly I saw evidence of a dramatic drop in the overall musical content of stations.
Throughout the chart of 60 songs, only five got bullets: a re-entry of "God Bless the USA" at #16, a new entry of Faith Hill's version of "The Star-Spangled Banner" at #35, a re-entry of Faith's "There Will Come a Day" at #45, a fun new entry in the Chicks' "Some Days You Gotta Dance" at #56, and a re-entry of a recently released version of "America the Beautiful" by 17 country artists, including quite a few folks who have made multiple appearances on CFT10, at #59. The movement of the remaining songs was typical for that time, but even the ones that jumped more than a few notches did so unbulleted.| TW | LW | Title and artist | | 1 | 1 | I WOULD'VE LOVED YOU ANYWAY...Trisha Yearwood
