Of course, looking at that list, with what, maybe 8 or 9 songs that have made the Top 10, it's a little sad he's put out his SECOND Greatest Hits CD. Aye. Trump was a lot more direct in the way he addressed that Baldwin guy - he flat out said his career has bumped since the show. Trump seemed to genuinely like Adkins so the way he talked about his bump was much more in a joking and kidding around kind of way. In any case, Trace done good. The Brit raised a ton o' money so he should have won but no shame in Adkins' second. Thanks for the pointer for Trace to Wikipedia.

"Honky Tonk Bodonkadonk" only made it to number two. In his book, Trace mentioned it got wedged between two Jesus songs (I believe it was "When I Get Where I'm Goin" and "Jesus, Take The Wheel") and he figured they deserved the top spot. He has gotten a couple of number ones in the past, including "Ladies Love Country Boys," another song that Jamey Johnson helped write. He also got a number one from his debut album and then went through a period where he didn't do so well at radio. He mentioned that Columbia was so preoccupied with getting Garth his sales that they neglected the rest of their artists.. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trace_Adkins_discography#Singles" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia has a list of his singles</a> and where they topped out on the charts.

I thought that was interesting and clever on Trump's part. Songs like Bodonkadonk turn me off, so I don't know Adkins career well. Does he have other number ones or is Trump right?

He may have done more to mitigate the prejudice northerners have against southerners than anyone or anything since the Civil War ended. He was SOOO "southern" but also SOOO wise, creative, thoughtful, patient and courteous. He was resourceful and had good judgement during the entire process. It makes you wonder if someone else is sometimes making his decisions when it comes to which songs to record, doesn't it? Trace Adkins did all Southerners proud on Celebrity Apprentice!

He not only had great ideas that were responsible for many of his teams wins, acted honorably, and displayed great humor (wheatgrass?!?!?), but he brought attention to an extremely worthy charity that hasnt ever truly enjoyed such a national spotlight, although it is as deserving as any charity as it does help families and children live better lives.
