Fifteen consecutive singles released by Carrie have climbed to either number one of number two on Billboard’s country chart.

That includes “Good Girl,” “Blown Away” and “Two Black Cadillacs” from her “Blown Away” album.

But the fourth single from that CD — “See You Again” — doesn’t appear destined for such lofty chart success.

The song dipped from a peak of number 11 to number 12 on Billboard’s country airplay chart this week.

The song dipped for the second straight week among Billboard’s hot country singles, dropping from 10 to 12.

In other words, momentum is no longer in its favor.

Oh, well, the streak was bound to end sooner or later. And 15 consecutive songs at number two or better is a heck of an accomplishment in the male-dominated world of country music.

In other chart news:

* Phillip Phillips performed on the Today show a couple of weeks ago and launches a summer tour with John Mayer this weekend. The TV appearance might be part of the reason his debut album just jumped from 76 to 39 on the Billboard 200. The album also moved up eight spots on the rock albums chart.

* Mandisa‘s new single “Overcomer” has climbed to number 16 on the Christian singles charts, though it’s not yet available for download. The song was at number 19 last week.

The complete chart rundown follows.
