Taylor Swift, Brad Paisley secure top spots on Billboard charts

Taylor Swift may have lost her grip on the Billboard country song chart to Brad Paisley, but her self-titled debut once again tops the album chart for the week ending Feb. 2.
Paisley is tops on the song chart with "Letter to Me." He leapt from fifth to first. Swift's "Our Song" actually switched places with Paisley.
Rascal Flatts was second, up one, with "Winner at a Losing Game." Montgomery Gentry was up one to third with "What Do Ya Think About That." Sugarland's "Stay" dropped two spots to fourth.
There was scant change on the song chart. The 5th through 12th songs, which included Alan Jackson's "Small Town Southern Man" and Carrie Underwood's "All-American Girl," remained exactly the same.
Newcomer Chuck Wicks dropped one to 14th with "Stealing Cinderella."
Trace Adkins was up 6 to 22nd with "You're Gonna Miss Me." New trio Lady Antebellum made it into the top 25 - at 24th, up 3 - with "Love Don't Live Here." Garth Brooks and Huey Lewis were at 25th with "Workin' For a Livin'."
On the album chart, Garth Brooks was second with "The Ultimate Hits," changing places with The Eagles and "Long Road Out of Eden." Sugarland remained fourth with "Enjoy the Ride," while Robert Plant and Alison Krauss were in fifth, up one with "Raising Sand."
Anne Murray debuted in eighth with "Duets: Friends & Legends," a disc which includes Shania Twain.
There was very little movement on the rest of the charts and no other new discs.
On the overall top 200, Swift was 6th, Brooks 14th, The Eagles 15th, Sugarland 16th and Plant/Krauss 22nd.
Rhonda Vincent topped the bluegrass chart with "Good Thing Going."
