Someday, Florida Georgia Line’s new single will return to “Dirt.”<\/p>\n
Based on the significant impact the track made in its first full week of availability, that day is distantly in the future.<\/p>\n
The country duo’s well-received new ballad “Dirt,” which lands at #1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart this week, also sets the all-time record for a country duo’s debut on the Hot 100.<\/p>\n
Fueled by a monstrous 19 million radio impressions in its first week, 2.2 million certified streams (74% from Vevo via YouTube) and 182,000 digital sales, the song starts at #11 on Billboard’s all-encompassing single chart. In the chart’s history of almost 56 years, no song from a country duo has started higher.<\/p>\n
The song’s ascent from #40 to #1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs, meanwhile, is the largest leap on the chart since its 2012 debut. Luke Bryan’s “That’s My Kind of Night” previously held the honor with a 35-1 vault during the summer of 2013.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"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":[1047,206],"tags":[2529,176,432],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
