Fred Bronson's Chart Beat column in Billboard this week mentions Buffett...

'GOOD' FOR THE COUNTRY: Even though his span of hits Billboard's Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart stretches out to 31 years, two months and two weeks, Jimmy Buffett has never had a top 10 hit where he had top billing until this week. His remake of Hank Williams' classic "Hey Good Lookin'" (RCA) with guest artists Clint Black, Kenny Chesney, Alan Jackson, Toby Keith and George Strait, moves 11-10.

Buffett did top the chart for eight weeks in the summer of 2003 as the second-billed duet partner with Alan Jackson on "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Margaritaville hit # 7 or #8?

I believe it hit #8 on the Billboard POP chart.

That's correct - he's had some Hot 100 top 10s, but not country. Until now.
