/in , , /by

Nate Smith earns his third number one single at country radio with his incredible song, “Bulletproof.” Get all the details here.

Rising superstar in the making, Nate Smith has been one of the most consistent rising artists as of late. He started off 2023 landing his first number one single with his song, “Whiskey On You.” and later earned his second number one single at country radio with “World On Fire.” Today, the singer adds to his streak of number ones with his third hit single, “Bulletproof.”

Written by Ashley Gorley, Hunter Phelps, and Ben Johnson, “Bulletproof” is the lead single from Smith’s Through the Smoke EP. The break-up song is the perfect blend of rock with modern-country. The singer pushes the envelope just enough, while still standing firmly in the country music genre with this awesome and relatable song.

“You’re still right here on my mind // You sure did a number on me // I’ve tried Jack // I’ve tried Jim // I’ve tried every last one of them // Old heartbreak bottles up on that shelf // But the burn don’t work and the buzz don’t help // Been takin’ these shots, shots, shots // 80, 90, everything they’ve got // But the whiskey don’t kill like it’s ‘sposed to do //Baby, your memory must be bulletproof”

Congratulations to Smith and his team on an incredible accomplishment! Smith is currently three for three for hit radio singles. We look forward to more music from Smith in 2024!

/in , , /by

Shaboozey earns his first number one song at country radio with his viral single, “A Bar Song (Tipsy).” Learn all the details here.

Shaboozey is an anomaly in music right now. He is not quite country, not quite R&B, not quite Pop, and yet it all works. He fits in perfectly and glides in an out of genres effortlessly. His viral hit, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” appealed to fans cross-genre, as well as, radio and industry alike. This week, Shaboozey officially earns his first number one single at radio with that same song!

While, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” has graced the Country charts, the Pop charts, the Rhythmic charts, and the Adult Pop charts, we are proud to have the single reach the top of the country airplay charts first. The song is the epitome of blending a fun, countrified lyric with a more rhythmic beat. Here at Country Swag, we also love that the song interpolates J-Kwon’s 2004 hip-hop classic, “Tipsy,” adding to the nostalgia that the single already possesses.

“One, here comes the two to the three to the four // Tell ’em bring another out, we need plenty more // Two steppin’ on the table, she don’t need a dancefloor  // Oh my, good Lord // Someone pour me up a double shot of whiskey // They know me and Jack Daniels got a history // There’s a party downtown near Fifth Street // Everybody at the bar gettin’ tipsy // Everybody at the bar gettin’ tipsy // Everybody at the bar gettin’ tipsy”

Congratulations to Shaboozey and his team on their accomplishment. We are excited what’s next for the rising star.

/in , , /by

Morgan Wallen and Ernest go number one on country radio with their collaborative single, “Cowgirls.” Get all the details here.

We have said it time and time again, there is nothing like a country music collaboration! When Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time album came out, “Cowgirls” was a sneaky favorite. Wallen collaborated with his buddy, Ernest on the track, giving fans an ear worm song that is still one of our favorites. “Cowgirls” is officially number one at country radio this week, marking Wallen’s 13th number one and Ernest’s first.

“Cowgirls” is a feel-good song. The tune is the perfect blend of rhythmic beats, a hip-hop flavoring, and a country lyric. Ironically “Cowgirls” replaces Wallen’s other collaborative song with Post Malone, “I Had Some Help” for the top spot on the country charts this week.

“Long live cowgirls // Never gonna settle on down girls // Leave you in a lonely ghost town world // Where the sun don’t rise // Rodeo for one night // Love you like a mustang // One hand on them giddy-up reins // Hole in your heart with some good aim // On a goodbye ride // But it’s fine ’cause it’s kinda my thing // Long live cowgirls // Yeah, long live cowgirls”

Congrats to Morgan Wallen and Ernest on their number one single!

/in , , /by

Post Malone and Morgan Wallen go number one on country radio with their collaborative single, “I Had Some Help.” Get all the details here.

Arguably the song of the summer, Post Malone’s killer collaboration with Morgan Wallen, “I Had Some Help,” officially reached the top of the country radio charts. Even before the song made its way to the airwaves, the single was a hit with fans. This marks Wallen’s 12th number one at country radio and Posty’s first!

 The unlikely pairing is one of the best collaborations we have seen in a long time. Both Wallen and Post Malone bring their A-game to their new song. “I Had Some Help. The mid-tempo song showcases how it feels to be blamed for a break-up or a relationship not panning out. While the song may feel like a “feel-good” anthem, the lyrics are actually deeper than what meets the eye. Both Wallen and Post Malone lay their hearts out on this track, while keeping the song catchy and fun at the same time.

“How do I help, if only two // Livin’ in your big glass house with the view // I thought you’d knowI had some help // It ain’t like I can make this kind of mess all by myself // Don’t act like you ain’t help me pull that bottle off the shelf // Been deep in every weekend, if you couldn’t tell // They say, “Teamwork makes the dream work” // Hell, I had some help (Help) // Help!”

Congrats to Morgan Wallen and Post Malone on their number one single!

/in , , /by

Bailey Zimmerman earns his fourth number one song at country radio this week with “Where It Ends.” Learn all the details here.

In his blossoming career, Bailey Zimmerman is quickly catapulting to the top. Zimmerman has landed multiple consecutive back to back number one singles at country radio, including his first number on, “Fall In Love” and follow up single, “Rock And A Hard Place.” Additionally, the singer-songwriter found his way to the top of the charts, yet again, with his song, “Religiously.” Today, the singer adds to that streak with his fourth number one single, “Where It Ends.”

While Zimmerman has clearly perfected the combination of catchy and raw, his most recent number one single is one of his most honest songs to date. Written by Zimmerman with Grant Averill and Joe Spargur, “Where It Ends” is country-rock at its finest. The song is a true heartbreak anthem, a true reflection of wasted energy.

“Went to battle for ya always // Fought for ya on your worst days // Then you told me that you don’t love me no more // You’re the last thing that I thought I’d lose // All I ever wanted was to be loved by you // I let you back in, and I gave you a second chance // Like a jet plane on a clear blue sky // Sun came shinin’ down on all your lies // I got too much pride to let that happen again // So this is where it ends”

Congratulations to Zimmerman and his team on their accomplishment. We are excited to see his streak of number ones continue to grow!

/in , , /by

Tyler Hubbard earns his third number one as a solo artist at country radio with his song “Back Then Right Now.” Get all the details here.

Tyler Hubbard has been a mainstay in country music for a decade now. Since embarking on his solo career, everything the singer has touched has been accepted by mainstream country fans. This week, Hubbard has earned his third consecutive number one single at country radio with his song, “Back Then Right Now,” which follows previous number ones, “5 Foot 9,” and “Dancin’ In The Country.”

Written by the singer with David Garcia, Jessie Jo Dillon, and Geoff Warburton,”Back Then Right Now” is nostalgia in a song. Throughout the lyrics, Hubbard shares about all the changes that have come from today’s landscape like social media and less connection. He sings about wishing for a bit more of his former life and our upbringing in the now. Lyrically, the song embodies the soul of country music. Sonically, the song brings today’s influences to the forefront, something Hubbard has always been great at.

“I could use some back then, right now // ’98 Chevy with the tailgate down // FM only with the gold up loud // Burnin’ up the night // Innocent and wild // I could use a little more wide open // Back when all I wanted was the hand I was holdin’ // Livin’ in the moment // With the good time crowd // Makin’ life count // Damn, I could use a little more // Back then, right now // Back then, right now”

While Hubbard’s career as the Florida Georgia Line frontman was one to proud of, it is clear that this new trajectory is going to be even bigger and better than ever. Congrats to Hubbard and his team on their third number one!
