Brad Paisley’s “Today” Officially Reaches #1 At Country Radio (MB)

Today is a good day for Brad Paisley and his latest single.

It brings news that the country superstar’s “Today” is officially the #1 song on Mediabase’s country radio singles chart.

“Today,” which was #4 last week, seizes the throne from Chris Young’s “Sober Saturday Night (featuring Vince Gill).” The Young-Gill collaboration drops to #6 after a single week on top.

Not simply the leader in Mediabase chart points, “Today” also ranks as the Mediabase country panel’s most-played song for the March 5-11 tracking period.

It received a format-leading 8,854 spins.

“Today” meanwhile ranks at #3 for tracking week audience impressions. Its tracking week impression count of 58.372 million trails the 59.678 million and 59.635 million garnered by Jon Pardi’s “Dirt On My Boots” and Michael Ray’s “Think A Little Less,” respectively.

“Dirt On My Boots” holds at #2 on the overall Mediabase chart this week. “Think A Little Less” is stationary at #3.

Up two places, Luke Bryan’s “Fast” earns #4. Lauren Alaina’s “Road Less Traveled,” which also climbs two spots, takes #5.
