Michael Ray’s “Whiskey And Rain” Goes Number One On Country Charts

Michael Ray’s single “Whiskey And Rain” officially reached number one on the country charts this week, marking his fourth number one song of his career. As Ray took to social media to thank his fans and team, the artist became emotional reflecting on the journey. Check out the tear-jerking response in the video below.

Michael Ray has dethroned Dustin Lynch and MacKenzie Porter’s five-week run at number one on the country charts with their song, “Thinking ‘Bout You.” As Ray’s “Whiskey And Rain” tops the charts, the artist lands his fourth number one song.

The 90s country-inspired song was a clear hit with fans, gradually climbing up the charts since it impacted radio in October of 2020. Written by Jesse Frasure and Josh Thompson, Ray recorded the song early on during the pandemic. He has shared in interviews that the song remains one of his most favorite songs to date.

“Yeah, whiskey and rain coming down, coming down // Splash of bourbon in a glass // Yeah, pouring something on the pain, let it drown, let it drown // Try to wash away the past, oh-oh-oh // Since my blue sky, sunshine, whole life  // Hopped on that midnight train // ‘Til the bottle runs out or the clouds roll away // It’s just whiskey and rain”

It will be interesting to see if Ray’s song, “Whiskey And Rain” continues to hold down the number one spot on the country charts next week. Until then, congrats to Ray and his team on a well-deserved feat!

“Rain Is A Good Thing”- Doin’ My Thing, 2010

“Rain Is A Good Thing” was written by Dallas Davison and Bryan. Perhaps one of his most staple songs, “Rain is a Good Thing” is classic Luke Bryan – combining the perfect amount of country roots and flirtation.

 

“Someone Else Calling You Baby”– Doin’ My Thing, 2010

“Someone Else Calling You Baby” marks the third and final No.1 to come from Bryan’s 2010 album, Doin’ My Thing. It was written by Jeff Stevens and Bryan. It’s a song about not being able to get over a recent break up and what makes it even worse is that the other person already has.

“I Don’t Want This Night to End” is the first No. 1 to come from Bryan’s Tailgates & Tanlines album. It was written by Ben Hayslip, Dallas Davidson, Bryan and Rhett Akins. It’s a song about meeting someone for the first time and having such an incredible time with them that you never want that night to end.

“Drunk on You”- Tailgates & Tanlines, 2012

“Drunk on You” is the second No. 1 to come from Tailgates & Tanlines. It was written by Chris Tompkins, Josh Kear and Rodney Clawson. It’s a song about a classic country summer night that’s so perfect you don’t need any more buzz than being with your person and summertime.

“Drink A Beer”- Crash My Party, 2013

“Drink A Beer” was written by Chris Stapleton and Jim Beavers. This is one of the most emotional songs out of Bryan’s catalog and the most personal to the artist. Even though he did not write the song, Bryan and his family relate strongly to the song due to some tragic losses that they’ve suffered. It’s a song about losing someone too soon and not being able to understand it. Instead of trying to, you just take a moment to drink a beer as you say goodbye to that special someone.

“Play it Again”– Crash My Party, 2013

“Play it Again” was written by Ashley Gorley and Dallas Davidson. It’s about the moments that can make a song go from just a song to ‘our song’ for two people and how they’ll always attach those memories to that song.

“Kick The Dust Up”- Kill The Lights, 2015

“Kick The Dust Up” was the first No. 1 off Kill The Lights – the second consecutive album of Bryan’s that would rack up six No. 1’s. The next album that would come close to this amount is Bryan’s current project: Born Here, Live Here, Die Here, which currently has five. “Kick the Dust Up” was written by Ashley Gorley, Chris DeStefano and Dallas Davidson.

“Light it Up”- What Makes You Country, 2017

“Light it Up” is the first No. 1 off Bryan’s What Makes You Country album. It was written by Old Dominion’s Brad Tursi and Bryan. It’s quite the modern problem of waiting for someone to text you after a fight being completely at their mercy, just hoping that you’ll see their text pop up on your phone.

“Most People Are Good”- What Makes You Country, 2018

“Most People Are Good” was written by Frasier, Ed Hill, and Josh Kear. It’s a song about always being able to see the best in people and how some of the simplest things in life can also be the happiest.

“Sunrise, Sunburn, Sunset”- What Makes You Country, 2018

“Sunrise, Sunburn, Sunset” was written by Chase McGill, Ryan Hurd, and Zach Crowell. It’s about a summer love where life was as simple as sunrise, sunburn, sunset repeat, each and every day with that someone.

“What Makes You Country”- What Makes You Country, 2018

“What Makes You Country” is the title track and the third and final No. 1 from Bryan’s 2018 album. It was written by Ashley Gorley, Dallas Davidson and Bryan. This is a song about not needing to fit a mold of what is or isn’t country, since nobody is to say what it is that makes you country except you.

“Knockin Boots” is the first No. 1 from Bryan’s most recent album – Born Here, Live Here, Die Here. It was written by Gordie Sampson, Hillary Lindsey, and Jon Nite. It’s about needing someone else in the same way that ice needs whiskey, long weeks need a weekend, and sing-alongs need to be sung.

“One Margarita” was written by Josh Thompson, Matt Dragstrem and Michael Carter. It’s about not worrying about anything else going on in life, just having a good time with the people you’re with, one margarita after another.

“Down to One”- Born Here Live Here Die Here, 2020

“Down to One” was written by Dallas Davidson, Justin Ebach, and Kyle Fisherman. It’s about spending the perfect night with someone and wanting one more minute, one more drink, one more song, one more night alone together.

“Waves”- Born Here Live Here Die Here, 2020

“Waves” is the fifth No. 1 off of Bryan’s most recent album and is his most recent chart topper, as of September 2021. It was written by Chase McGill, Ryan Hurd, and Zach Crowell. It’s about summer love and the stars aligning for a perfect night you hope will never end.

“Buy Dirt”- in collaboration with Jordan Davis

When Jordan Davis released “Buy Dirt” with Luke Bryan, it was clear that it was going to be an impressive song. Shortly after finding its way to country radio, “Buy Dirt” deservingly hit the top spot on the country charts.

“Country On” – Prayin’ in a Deer Stand, 2022

Dustin Lynch’s “Thinking ‘Bout You” with MacKenzie Porter Goes #1

Dustin Lynch’s song, “Thinking ‘Bout You” with MacKenzie Porter officially goes number one on the country radio charts.

This week, Dustin Lynch scores his eighth number one song with “Thinking “Bout You.” For his collaborator, MacKenzie Porter, while she has three number one songs on Canadian country charts, the single marks Porter’s very first US number one hit.

Back in March, Lynch released a new version of the song as a single featuring pop-country vocalist, Porter on the track with him. The push-pull of the two distinct voices create an interesting dynamic on the already enticing tune. It was just a matter of time before the track became a hit with fans and radio alike.

“I was just thinkin’ ’bout that weekend out on Cumberland Lake // And that one time in Baton Rouge when we made out in the rain // Where we went chasin’ fallin’ stars on a hill at your daddy’s farm // Don’t be sorry for callin’ me up out of the blue // I was was just thinkin’ ’bout you // Oh, I was just thinkin’ ’bout you”

It is always exciting to see an established entertainer collaborate with a rising artist. It is even more exciting to see the song hit the number one spot! Congrats to Lynch and Porter and their teams on their success!

Zac Brown Band’s latest single, “Same Boat” officially goes number one on the country radio charts, marking their fourteenth hit song.

For over a decade, Zac Brown Band have been entertaining fans across generations. Hit songs like “Chicken Fried,” “Toes,” and “Homegrown” remain mainstays in their catalog and during their live shows. This week, ZBB earn another hit song with their single, “Same Boat.”

Penned by Zac Brown with Ben Simonetta and Jonathan Singleton, “Same Boat” is a true ZBB classic. We knew the song would become a hit from first listen. It truly is an undeniable instant jam. Upbeat and fun, “Same Boat” is simply about the human experience. We all have unique moments in our lives, but life, in general, is something we all go through. In a time where life can feel chaotic and people can feel at odds, ZBB reminds us all that we are all merely humans trying to make sense of life.

“We’re all in the same boat // Fishing in the same hole // Wondering where the same time goes // And money too // Tryna fix the same broke hearts // Wishing on the same stars // We’re all hoping hope floats // And we’re all in the same boat”

Congrats to Zac Brown Band and their team on another number one song! It will be fun to see how ZBB follow up this incredible feat.

“Chasin’ You”- If I Know Me, 2019

“Chasin’ You” is one of the first slow-jams to reach the top of the chart for Wallen. The song shows off his writing chops, as well as, his ability to be vulnerable in a song. Wallen’s vocal performance is impressive in this one-of-a-kind track.

 

“More Than My Hometown”- Dangerous: The Double Album, 2020

Wallen’s lead single off his sophomore record Dangerous: The Double Album, “More Than My Hometown” went viral on TikTok. The single is a countrified tune. Written by Wallen with HARDY, Ernest, Keith Smith, and Ryan Vojtesak, the song is romantic, inviting, and bittersweet. He combines elements of both nostalgia and heartbreak while maintaining an undeniable charm and sense of self.

 

“Sand In My Boots”- Dangerous: The Double Album, 2022

After his return to country radio, Morgan Wallen’s “Sand In My Boots”, from Dangerous: The Double Album, quickly climbed to the number one spot. An instant hit with fans, Wallen used the song to open his 2022 headlining tour with the piano-driven track. “Sand In My Boots” is a slow groove that puts Wallen’s authentic vocals on full display. The song is sure to be the first of many number one hits to come after Wallen’s return to radio.

 

“Wasted On You”- Dangerous: The Double Album, 2022

Shortly after his return to country music radio, Wallen’s song “Wasted On You” charted. The song is a quintessential Wallen song, featuring all the components: pulling on our heartstrings, making us feel heard, and as catchy as ever.

 

“You Proof”- One Thing At A Time, 2022

A while back, Wallen posted an audio clip of a song on his social media. The song became “You Proof.” While it’s just a promotional single and not (yet) a part of any major project, “You Proof” became an instant hit with fans. So much so, that it has been sitting pretty at the top of the country music charts for four weeks and counting (as of 11/4/22).

 

“Thought You Should Know”- One Thing At A Time, 2023

At the top of 2023, one of Wallen’s most personal songs to date, “Thought You Should Know” landed at the top of the country radio charts. The single is a lyrically-gifted song that focuses on a conversation that Wallen is having with his mother over his success and his failures throughout his career.

 

“Last Night”- One Thing At A Time, 2023

Marking his fastest rising number one single at country radio to date, “Last Night” is certainly a fan-favorite. Wallen is at his absolute best on this song. While the lyrics are on the cheeky side, the song has clearly resonated with all country music fans and country radio alike.

 

“Thinkin’ Bout Me”- One Thing At A Time, 2023

A fan-favorite song from Wallen’s latest album, “Thinkin’ Bout Me,” conveys the story about having a spark with someone. The song is one of the standout tracks from Wallen’s impressive project that is already proving to be full of hits.

 

*SPECIAL MENTION:

“7 Summers”- Dangerous: The Double Album, 2020

Another popular Wallen song, “7 Summers” debuted at the top of the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, however, after Wallen’s racial slur scandal, the song was dropped from country radio. The popular track otherwise had the potential to hit number one on the Country Airplay charts as well. Despite that, the song remains a fan-favorite, and for good reason.

Rhett has hit songs of each of his five studio albums. Check out the full list below.

1.It Goes Like This”- It Goes Like This, 2013

“It Goes Like This” was the title track of Rhett’s first studio album in 2013 and became his first studio album and rightly became his first number one single. It introduced fans to his unique style of country stories with a pop-twist and made us fall in love with his storytelling before we even knew about the girl behind the songs. The song was co-written by Rhett’s father Rhett Akins, Ben Hayslip, and Jimmy Robbins.

 

2.“Get Me Some of That”- It Goes Like This, 2013

“Get Me Some of That” was another song off of Rhett’s debut album, It Goes Like This. It was written by Akins, Cole Swindell, and Michael Carter.

 

3. “Make Me Wanna”- It Goes Like This, 2014

“Make Me Wanna,” co-written by Rhett, Bart Butler, and Larry McCoy, marks the third and last number one to come from Rhett’s debut album and the first number one that Rhett co-wrote. What a start!

 

4. “Crash and Burn”- Tangled Up, 2015

“Crash and Burn” would be one of four number ones to come from Rhett’s second studio album, Tangled Up, released two years after his first album. The song was co-written by Jesse Frasure and Chris Stapleton. 

 

5. “Die A Happy Man”- Tangled Up, 2015

“Die A Happy Man” is the song that changed everything for Rhett. In 2016, he received his first ACM and CMA Award for the song – Single Record of the Year (ACM) and Song of the Year (CMA). In 2017 he would also win ACM for Song of the Year for “Die A Happy Man”. All for ‘a little song about holding her hand’ as he would peg it in his future single “Life Changes” a couple years later. The song was co-written by Rhett, Joe London, and Sean Douglas. 

 

6. “T-Shirt”- Tangled Up, 2016

“T-Shirt” would follow “Die A Happy Man” as Rhett entered a new era of success – one in which fans didn’t just love hearing his songs, but they loved hearing the songs he’d sing about his wife, Lauren Akins. “Vacation” was right up there with these two songs, but peaked at #2 on the charts, falling short of reaching number 1.  “T-Shirt” was written by Ashley Gorley, Luke Laird, and Shane McAnally.

 

7. “Star of the Show”- Tangled Up, 2016

“Star of the Show” solidified the theory that fans loved to hear love songs about Rhett and his wife, making it the fourth No.1 off his sophomore album, and the third of which was written about her. “Star of the Show” was co-written by Rhett, Akins, and Ben Hayslip. 

 

8. “Craving You” Feat. Maren Morris-  Life Changes, 2017

“Craving You” was the first of five number ones to come from Rhett’s third studio album. Written by Dave Barnes and Julian Bunetta‎, the duet with incredible vocalist Maren Morris was a huge hit for both artists and across multiple genres.

“Unforgettable” was the second number one off of Rhett’s 2017 album, Life Changes. It was written by Rhett, Jesse Frasure, Ashley Gorley, and Shane McAnally. 

 

10. “Marry Me”- Life Changes, 2017

“Marry Me” is a rare, morbidly romantic song for Rhett compared to his upbeat love songs about he and his wife and their story. This rather, is what Rhett could have seen happening if he hadn’t told Lauren that he loved her. “Marry Me” was written by Rhett, Jesse Frasure, Ashley Gorley and Shane McAnally. 

 

11. “Life Changes”- Life Changes, 2018

“Life Changes” brought Rhett into yet another era. While he had gotten used to sharing the story of him and his wife aside from your average country tune, this was the most personal song Rhett had released to date. This song really let fans in and since then, his two most recent albums have been even more personal than the prior. “Life Changes” was written by Rhett, Akins, Ashley Gorley and Jesse Frasure.

 

12. “Sixteen”- Life Changes, 2018

“Sixteen” was relatable to so many listeners as it is a song about being happy with where you are in life, and not wishing you were any older or younger than you are and realizing you are exactly where you are supposed to be. This song marked the fifth and final No. 1 for Rhett’s Life Changes album. It was written by Rhett, Sean Douglas and Joe Spargur

Jason Aldean & Carrie Underwood Hit #1 with “If I Didn’t Love You”

Jason Aldean and Carrie Underwood’s killer collaborative song “If I Didn’t Love You” hit the top of the charts this week, making its way to number one.

Just three months after its debut, Jason Aldean and Carrie Underwood’s duet “If I Didn’t Love You” is a hit! The song officially cemented the top spot on the country charts this week. It marks the 26th number one for Aldean, following “Blame It On You.” For Underwood, the song is her 16th number one hit.

“If I Didn’t Love You” is a heartbreaking ballad. The two singers lament about what it’s like to love someone so deeply, but not be able to be with them. Neither lover knows exactly how the other feels, making the feelings, even harder to cope with. Both Aldean and Underwood show off their vocal ability and grit throughout this enticing song.

“If I didn’t love you, I’d be good by now // I’d be better than barely getting by somehow // Yeah it would be easy not to miss you // Wonder about who’s with you // Turn the want you off whenever I want too // If I didn’t love you”

The single will appear on Aldean’s upcoming record Macon, slated for a November 12th release. As for Underwood, fans can stream the special edition of her holiday album My Gift, out now.
