Chart performance

On the May 19, 2007 chart, "Settlin'" received the exact amount of airplay among country radio stations on the Billboard survey as "Stand", the song which held the number one position the week prior. This was the first such occurrence in the history of the Hot Country Songs charts. According to rules established by Billboard, a tie in airplay is broken by whichever of the two songs had a greater gain in airplay compared to the previous week; as "Settlin'" had increased in airplay over the previous week while "Stand" had decreased, "Settlin'" was therefore declared the number one song on that week's chart.^[2]
