Scotty McCreery’s “Five More Minutes” Reaches #1 At Country Radio

The artist scores his first number one at country radio.

For the first time in his career, Scotty McCreery holds the top spot on the Mediabase country radio singles chart.

McCreery’s “Five More Minutes,” which was #3 last week, improves to #1 on this week’s edition of the listing.

It seizes the throne from Kelsea Ballerini’s “Legends,” which falls to #8 after a single week on top.

Not simply the leader in chart points, “Five More Minutes” ranks as the Mediabase country panel’s most-played and most-heard song for the February 18-24 tracking period. It received 8,545 spins (+902) and 58.373 million audience impressions.

Up two places, Thomas Rhett’s “Marry Me” improves to #2 this week. Chris Stapleton’s “Broken Halos” rises two spots to #3, while Old Dominion’s “Written In The Sand” dips two places to #4.

A one-place rise brings Devin Dawson’s “All On Me” to #5.
