The two hottest songs in country music move into the Top 20 on this week’s all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Morgan Wallen’s “Whiskey Glasses” soars nine places to a new peak of #17. Blake Shelton’s “God’s Country” concurrently rises four places to a new high of #20.
In reaching #17, “Whiskey Glasses” becomes Wallen’s first career Top 20 hit on the Billboard Hot 100. “God’s Country” is Shelton’s fourth Top 20 hit — and first since 2013’s “Boys Round Here.”
In addition to the country connection, Wallen and Blake share experience on “The Voice.” Wallen competed on the show in season six, while Shelton has been a coach since the show’s premiere.
The Hot 100 ranks songs from all genres based on sales, streams and radio airplay.
