Yet another song has reached #1 on the US iTunes sales chart following a CMA Awards performance.<\/p>\n
Dan + Shay & Justin Bieber’s “10,000 Hours,” that song, reached #1 on the all-genre listing Thursday morning. It remains in the top spot as of press time at 10:30AM ET.<\/p>\n
Chris Stapleton’s “Starting Over” is now #2 on the chart, while Morgan Wallen’s “More Than My Hometown” is #3. Both songs received CMA Awards performances — and both songs spent time at #1 in the more immediate aftermath of Wednesday’s show.<\/p>\n
Gabby Barrett’s “I Hope (featuring Charlie Puth),” another CMA Awards focus, is currently #4 on the chart.<\/p>\n
Thomas Rhett’s new “What’s Your Country Song” follows at #5. Rhett did not perform the new single during Wednesday’s show, but he did take the stage at the event (to perform “Be A Light”). He was also a nominee in the Male Vocalist of the Year ace.<\/p>\n
Darius Rucker’s “Beers and Sunshine,” which did receive a performance, is #6. Two other CMA performance selections — Maren Morris’ “The Bones” (#8) and Eric Church’s “Hell Of A View” (#9) — also received CMA performance exposure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Five of the top six songs were performed at the CMA Awards.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":144712,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1047],"tags":[12988,1971,96],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
