Dierks Bentley returns to the top of the country singles chart this week for hte 10th time in his career with his latest hit, ’5-1-5-0.’ The tune hit No. 1 on both the Billboard and Mediabase / Country Aircheck charts, after inching its way up through the Top 5 over the past few weeks.
Even if you’re not a fan of Showtime’s hit series, ‘Weeds,’ you’re probably familiar with its theme song, ‘Little Boxes.’ Even hearing a few bars of the little ditty will have you humming the tune all day long. During ‘Weeds” second and third seasons, a number of artists covered the catchy tune for the show. Now, it’s about to become even more of an earworm since Dierks Bentley has agreed to record a country version of the song for the series’ eighth season!
Music isn’t the only thing Dierks Bentley is creating these days. The ’5-1-5-0′ singer is set to release a special Dierks Bentley Custom Signature Edition guitar, which will be made available to the public later this month.

Even with the cops on their tail, the riders are enjoying themselves.
Sadly, the latest leg of Dierks Bentley‘s Country and Cold Cans Tour came to an end over the weekend. But if you think Bentley spent the last few days leading up to the last show online trying to find the perfect “thank you” gift for his opening acts, you’d better think again. Instead, Bentley decided to pull out the pranks, with the victims being the members of the Cadillac Black.
