For the first time since Florida Georgia Line’s “Cruise (featuring Nelly),” a country song occupies the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Up six places, Sam Hunt’s “Body Like A Back Road” earns #6 on this week’s edition of the chart.

A strong sales performer since its release, “Body Like A Back Road” received a boost following Hunt’s performance at the ACM Awards.

The single is also growing at radio (country, pop and hot adult contemporary) and posting impressive streaming numbers by country standards.

Prior to “Body,” Hunt’s biggest Hot 100 hit was “Take Your Time.” The song peaked at #20.
