Between 1994 and 1996, Darius Rucker hit the top of the charts four times as lead singer of Hootie and the Blowfish -- with "Hold My Hand," "Let Her Cry," "Only Wanna Be With You" and "Hannah Jane," all from the band's breakthrough CD, "Cracked Rear View." This week, he matches that feat as a solo artist. "Southern State of Mind," his third hit from his second country album, moves 2-1. By doing so, it joins three No. 1 hits from "Learn to Live" -- "Don't Think I Don't Think About It," "History in the Making" and "It Won't Be Like This for Long."
Cee-Lo Green makes it 4-for-4 in the Top 10 over the past six months, as "Bright Lights Bigger City" jumps 18-10. The previous hits -- "Forget You," "The Thrill Is Gone" (on which he guested with Fantasia) and "Fool for You" -- all went to No. 1.
In 2000, the gospel duo Mary Mary just missed the Top 10 when "Shackles (Praise You)" hit No. 11. This week, the duo has the top debut, as "Something Big" enters at No. 33. It's the title track of Mary Mary's latest CD.
Also debuting, at No. 40, is Santana's cover of the Cream classic "Sunshine of Your Love." This track features Rob Thomas on vocals, making Thomas the third Santana collaborator to earn two chart hits with the guitar legend. Michelle Branch was the first with "The Game of Love" in 2002 and "I'm Feeling You" in 2005. Nickelback lead singer Chad Kroeger came next, with "Why Don't You and I?" in 2003 and "Into the Night" in 2007. Thomas first hit the Top 40 with Santana on the 1999 smash "Smooth." That single went to No. 1 and spent 19 weeks in the Top 40. This is the second remake of "Sunshine of Your Love" to chart; the rock group Living Colour took theirs to No. 14 in 1994.
