Tim McGraw gets to deliver the game ball to the pitcher’s mound in Game Three of the World Series in Philadelphia. The Phillies picked Tim as a symbolic gesture to honor his father, the late Tug McGraw. Tug pitched the Phillies to a World Series win in 1980 and was the last pitcher to close-out a Series win for the team. Tim says, “(It’s been) fifteen years since they’ve been in and I guess ’80 was the only World Series they’ve ever won when Tug was pitching. And it’s pretty cool. My little brother Mark lives in Philadelphia and then my other little brother Matthew lives in Kentucky so we’re going to try and all get together and catch a game.” And if you missed it, Tim’s first children’s book, My Little Girl, went on sale this week.

The end-of-the-week numbers are rolling in, and it’s good news/bad news for Kenny Chesney. Kenny’s new album Lucky Old Sun sold 176,000 copies this week, enough to top the Billboard Top 200 chart. However, it marks the lowest sales debut of a Kenny album since Everywhere We Go came out in 1999 to the tune of only 30,000 copies sold. Kenny also holds the top spot on the Billboard Country Albums Chart, and Billy Currington’s new CD Little Bit of Everything debuted at number 2. That was enough to push last week’s chart topper Tim McGraw Greatest Hits 3 down to 4th place; Sugarland Love On The Inside nudged to 3rd; and Darius Rucker Learn To Live Rounds out the Top 5.

As far as singles are concerned, Bucky Covington has reason to celebrate! This week, Bucky scored his first #1 single with “I’ll Walk” topping the Music Row Breakout Chart.
