Morgan Wallen ‘Now’ Has Another Record on Billboard’s Country Airplay Chart
“Been by Now” gives Wallen at least four No. 1s in each of the last three years.
Morgan Wallen has reached a remarkable milestone with his latest single, "Been by Now," securing its 23rd No. 1 on Billboard's Country Airplay chart. The track climbed one spot on the list dated November 7, garnering 33.5 million audience impressions, an impressive 4% increase from the previous week's rating. According to Luminate, Wallen's latest accomplishment solidifies his position as the fastest artist to achieve 23 Country Airplay No. 1s, accomplishing the feat in just over eight years.
This is a stark contrast to his predecessor, Luke Bryan, who took nearly ten years to reach the same milestone. Among the other artists to achieve this feat, Kenny Chesney, Blake Shelton, Tim McGraw, and Jason Aldean also stand out with their respective counts of 34, 30, 29, and 27 No. 1s. Wallen's "Been by Now" is the 21st song of his to reach No. 1 on Country Airplay this decade, outpacing his closest competitor, Luke Combs, by a margin of seven songs.
The new No. 1 is also Green's ninth top-10 hit on Country Airplay this year, following a notable 2nd place finish with "Change My Mind" in June. Brothers Osborne, who made their return to Country Airplay after more than two years with "Born and Raised Hell," featuring Cody Johnson, also made their debut entry at No. 40. The track, released as part of their fifth studio album Watertown, debuted with 2.4 million audience impressions.
