Just Randy, oh just Randy!!!!!!!!!!!!
Saturday is the day I see Randy again (I can't believe I get to see him twice within a year)!!! As I said before I am PRAYING everyday that I receive that email. I REALLY hope it comes tomorrow. I figure Tuesday at the latest. Thank you all for the good luck wishes. I have my fingers crossed, my legs crossed, my toes crossed, my eyes ccrroosseedd. I don't think I can cross anything else lol. PLEASE RT Team, I can't stand it anymore, please please please email me tomorrow and say ''CONGRATULATIONS April, you have been selected to meet RT at Havelock Jamboree.!!'' Yes, I am begging lol. If I win u guys and gals will be the first to know (well except for the people 50 miles away that hear me scream of course).
Hi,
I know just how you feel. I'm hoping that I get a M&G with him in Aurora, Il. Especially since I don't think I'll get to go to another concert anytime soon. I hope you get it. Wish me luck for Aurora's M&G. This is my first time to go to one of his concerts. I can't help it, I'm getting excited about it.
Sharon
I will cross everything twice as hard so it will hopefully send luck your way too.
It's great to see the CDs are still hanging in there.
TWC did drop off of the one chart the week of august 1 but made a re-entry to #50 on the august 8 chart and #48 this week.

Thanks Linda for the latest report of Billboards Charts.
It is good to see that both albums are hanging in there. Maybe not as high as we would like (for certain) but at least they are still charting.
I'm sure we are all disappointed that ITYS with Carrie didn't make it to the #1 spot. But @ #2, he proved that he still has clout with the public. Who really are the most imporatant factor to sustaining a career anyway. Radio may have the control over who gets played. But they can't stop people from attending his concerts or buying his albums. Dee
Hey Dee,
You're right The fact that it made it to #2 on the charts despite how radio treats him proves something. That's a very good point you've made about radio vs concerts too.
Sharon
Hi Linda,
Thanks for posting the charts. It's nice to see ITYS album still on the charts and going from #35 to #31. Too bad it didn't make it to #1 but I wonder how many other country solo artists have had their greatest hits collection peak at #3 or higher? I was so hoping that his duet of ITYS with Carrie would go to #1! I think it should have given the overwhelmingly positive reaction to it on all the different message boards and Youtube comments that I've read. I think he was cheated out of a #1 again!
Sharon
You're welcome, Sharon. I had to now subscribe and pay for the charts again as Billboard has revamped their pages, taken the charts search tool away and obviously doesn't want to share complete charts unless one pays.
I agree with you about ITYS but that seems to be how they treat Randy even though he is so deserving. Even on a few charts it supposedly went to #1, and I actually only heard one countdown on the radio where that was the case, they only played Carrie's version.
The song isn't even appearing on the Billboard Top Country Recurrents chart anymore. I keep checking hoping it would come back.
