Country radio has a split-chart scenario this week.
Josh Turner tops the Mediabase country radio singles chart with “Hometown Girl.”
His MCA Nashville labelmate Sam Hunt, meanwhile, claims #1 on Billboard Country Airplay with “Body Like A Back Road.”
It reaches the top spot in just its twelfth week on the chart.
In rising to #1 on Country Airplay, “Body Like A Back Road” now tops the three country-specific “component” charts. It has spent several weeks at #1 on the Country Digital Song Sales and Country Streaming Songs listings.
“Body Like A Back Road” meanwhile tops the all-encompassing Billboard Hot Country Songs chart for an eleventh week. It is #11 on the all-genre Hot 100.
