Lauren Alaina & Chase Matthew’s ‘Exes’ Takes the Pair to No. 1 on Country Airplay

Lauren Alaina and Chase Matthew have taken the top spot on Billboard's Country Airplay chart with their collaborative single "All My Exes." The song marks Alaina's fourth No. 1 and Matthew's second on the chart. The tune's success is fueled by impressive audience impressions, having climbed four spots in just one week. According to Luminate, "All My Exes" has received 31 million audience impressions, up 28% week over week from Oct.

9-15. Alaina co-wrote the track, drawing upon a past relationship from her younger years. This is the third No. 1 collaboration for the duo this year, following Ella Langley and Morgan Wallen's "I Can't Love You Anymore," and Shaboozey and Jelly Roll's "Amen." Such joint efforts have become increasingly common in recent years, accounting for 20% of the chart's No. 1s in the 2020s — a significant jump from 2% in the 1990s.
