  "account": "Cody Johnson's latest country hit \"Take Me Back (Leave Me There)\" has climbed three spots to secure the No. 10 position on the latest Billboard Hot Country Songs chart as of September 19. The song's official U.S. streams surged by 19% between September 4 and 10, reaching 7.5 million, according to Luminate. Co-written by Kelly Archer, Troy Cartwright, and Pete Good, the track is part of Johnson's 16-track 10th studio album, Banks of the Trinity. The album's debut at No. 8 on the Top Country Albums chart in June marked Johnson's sixth Top Country Albums top 10. The song gained significant traction on TikTok in the summer, propelled by Johnson's a cappella performance clips and a trend where couples used it to reminisce about their relationship duration. The song's recent climb aligns with Johnson's recent recognition, as he received four CMA Awards nominations on September 10, including entertainer of the year, male artist, single, and video. These nominations are for songs \"The Fall,\" which peaked at No. 7 on Hot Country Songs in April and topped Country Airplay for a week in May, and \"Boots,\" featuring Shania Twain, which debuted at No. 36 on Hot Country Songs with 2.5 million streams in its first week.",
  "summary": "Plus, debuts for collabs by Kane Brown and Shania Twain and Mumford & Sons and Chris Stapleton.",
