Week of Aug. 30, 2009

The group Collective Soul had the No. 1 song a year ago this week with "All That I Know." This week, the group is back at No. 40 with a new tune, "Heart to Heart," a bonus track from their new self-titled release. This time of year is good for the group; 15 years ago, they were in the Top 10 with their debut hit, "Shine."

Going back 10 years ago this week, we find the first week in the Top 10 for "Smooth," the comeback hit for Carlos Santana. This week, Santana returns the favor on a Top 40 comeback for Smokey Robinson. "Please Don't Take Your Love," a collaboration between Robinson and Santana, debuts at No. 37. It's from Robinson's independent release, "Time Flies When You're Having Fun."

In the Top 20, two country crossovers make strong moves. Tim McGraw's latest, "It's a Business Doing Pleasure With You," sprints 15-9, making it his fifth Top 10 hit. (In addition, a number of McGraw songs were popular during the chart's inactivity including "She's My Kind of Rain," "Real Good Man" and "Live Like You Were Dying.") Meanwhile, George Strait moves 17-12 with "Living for the Night," getting closer to his second Top 10 following 2002's "Run."
