As Thomas Rhett’s “Craving You (featuring Maren Morris)” rises to #1 on the Mediabase country radio singles chart, another male-female collaboration joins the Top 5.

Up one place, Keith Urban’s “The Fighter (featuring Carrie Underwood)” takes #5 on this week’s chart.

The #5 position is based on chart points, but “The Fighter” also ranks as the Mediabase country panel’s fifth-most-played and fifth-most-heard song for the July 2-8 tracking week.

It received 6,462 spins (+266) and 42.971 million audience impressions.

“The Fighter” is the fifth single from Urban’s “Ripcord.” The previous four — “John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16,” “Break On Me,” “Wasted Time,” and “Blue Ain’t Your Color” — all reached #1 at country radio.
