The Final Number One of 2009

Congrats Reba!

"Consider Me Gone" is the final Number One of 2009.

After 20 weeks on the chart Reba bumped Lady A's "Need You Now" out of the top spot on the Billboard Country Songs chart.**




** The WXRO chart is different than The Billboard Chart - which is why Luke Bryan had our #1 on the last chart.
