Justin Moore celebrated his first No. 1 single in a big way Monday (Oct. 26) by performing a mini-concert for a throng of music business insiders at the BMI building in Nashville.

The occasion was to honor "Small Town USA," the debut hit Moore co-wrote with his producer, Jeremy Stover, and Brian Maher. "Small Town" is the only song by a new country artist to top the Billboard chart this year.

Jody Williams, BMI's vice president of writer-publisher relations, opened the proceedings by emphasizing Moore's life-long affinity for country music. "At 3," said Williams, "he was running around the house singing Dwight Yoakam's 'I'm a Honky-Tonk Man.'"

As universally anticipated, Miranda Lambert's Revolution debuts at No. 1 this week on Billboard's country album chart. (And at No. 8 on the magazine's all-genres list.) Meanwhile, Toby Keith's "American Ride" enjoys its second week as America's top country song.

There are plenty new albums and songs to savor. Finally. The other first-time CDs are Robert Earl Keen's The Rose Hotel (No. 17), Patty Loveless' Mountain Soul II (No. 19), Big & Rich's Greatest Hits (No. 27) and Kris Kristofferson's Closer to the Bone (No. 29). James Otto's Sunset Man re-enters the rankings at No. 72.

Justin Moore's "Small Town USA" dislodges Jason Aldean's "Big Green Tractor" to become the nation's No. 1 country song while Taylor Swift's Fearless bobs back to the top of Billboard's country albums chart this week.

Fearless, by the way, has been out for 45 weeks. That's just shy of a year. Guess the Kanye West dust-up didn't hurt that much after all.

Ricky Skaggs claims the highest-debuting new album title with Solo: Songs My Dad Loved. It checks in at No. 39. Jimmy Wayne's cover collaboration with Darryl Hall and John Oates of that duo's 1976 hit, "Sara Smile," is the week's top new song, arriving at No. 51.
