Sam Hunt earns a number one at country radio with his song, “Outskirts,” marking his eleventh number one single of his career. Learn more here…
On the heels of his new project, Locked Up, Sam Hunt scored his eleventh number one single at country radio. His infectious song, “Outskirts” is officially the number one song on the charts this week. The song follows Hunt’s previous number ones “Wishful Drinking” and “23.”
“Outskirts” is quite possibly one of the singer-songwriter’s best mid-tempo songs to date. The song is catchy and primed for radio. It is no surprise that the song finally found its way to the top fat country radio charts. On the song, Hunt shows off his talent and gives fans a song that is reminiscent of previous hits like, “Leave the Night On” and “Body Like a Back Road.”

“But soon as I get out here on the outskirts // I wish I was runnin’ by your house first // Somethin’ ’bout a summer in the South, sure // Shines like gold down these old // Round bale, river valley backroads // Way back in the holler where the grass grows // God almighty, baby, we were that close // To ditchin’ this town and settlin’ down // Out here on the outskirts”
Congratulations to Sam Hunt and his team on their eleventh number one single at country radio with “Outskirts!”

Sam Hunt releases his brand new EP, Locked Up, out now, April 5th on all streaming platforms. Listen to the new project here.
Sam Hunt is the type of artist who truly beats to his own drum. His rhythmic way of approaching music Chas garnered him millions of loyal fans, since he came on the country music scene. While it has been a windy road for the artist, Hunt has remained honest and true to his music through his songwriting and storytelling. Today, the singer-songwriter shares more of his own experiences and his talent in his brand new EP, Locked Up.
The new EP features four songs that feel like a teaser for what’s to come from Hunt. The record kicks off with the title track, written by Hunt with Zach Crowell, Jerry Flowers, Shane McAnally, and Josh Osborne. “Locked Up,” a catchy, mid-tempo song, depicts Hunt’s experience being charged for a DUI back in 2019. Throughout the song, he owns up to his “rowdy days” and shows appreciation for his wife for standing by his side. The song is a nice display of accountability hidden in an ear worm of a song.
Much like the final song off the EP, “Country House” feels reminiscent of older Hunt songs like “Body Like A Back Road.” The song celebrates where Hunt is in his life right now, settled down with a family to call his own. On the other hand, the other new song off the project, “Last Hurrah,” shows Hunt in a more introspective light. The song displays a man reminiscing about what happened to a wild girl he once new. “Last Hurrah” draw the listener in with the haunting vibes and relatable lyrics.
The four-song project wraps-up with his previously released song, “Outskirts.” On the surface, the single feels like just another fun song (and it is), but under the surface, the song depicts the story of a single man in the city, who finds himself reminiscing about what could have been with a lost love.
Locked Up Tracklist:
Locked Up (Sam Hunt, Zach Crowell, Jerry Flowers, Shane McAnally, Josh Osborne)
Country House (Sam Hunt, Ross Copperman, Michael Lotten, Josh Osborne)
Last Hurrah (Luke Laird, Shane McAnally, Josh Osborne)

With a killer catalog of songs to choose from, we are sharing our favorite Sam Hunt songs that we wish we heard on country radio. Check it out below.
“2016” – Southside
The opening track on Sam Hunt’s highly anticipated sophomore album is one of the most evocative tracks in his discography. In this song, he owns up to many things in his past, and it’s written almost like a letter. It’s honest and painful, but it’s the truth – something country radio can never have too much of.
“Vandalizer” – Between The Pines
This sweet love song on Hunt’s acoustic project following Montevallo is so simple and clever. A lot of Hunt’s songs about love lean on the more serious side, and there’s just something so adoringly naive about the track that would have sounded amazing coming through the country airwaves.
“Bottle It Up” – Between The Pines
Another track off of the acoustic mixtape is “Bottle It Up”, and it is the perfect summer, windows-down-on-a-truck-radio song. It’s universal and simple, yet tells a vivid story. It would’ve been a great radio single.
“Young Once” – Southside
“Young Once” has all the fixings of a great Sam Hunt single. It’s not a tear-jerker, but it’s also still thoughtful. Country radio singles are notorious for nostalgic songs, and this fits the bill. It would have been a great follow-up after “Breaking Up Was Easy In The ‘90s”.
“Single for the Summer” – Montevallo
Although almost every song on Sam Hunt’s debut record Montevallo was a hit, one of its standouts is actually a B-side. “Single For The Summer” has a pulsing country/r&b production that disguises how haunting it truly is, and we think it would have made for a particularly interesting single. Sometimes people forget just how great of a songwriter and storyteller Hunt is, and this song proves just that.

Sam Hunt debuts new song at Country Radio Seminar (CRS) in Nashville called “Locked Up.” Listen to the brand new song below.
Sam Hunt is back with a full vengeance! The singer-songwriter continues to quietly release music, most recently with his newest single, “Outskirts” and previously released song, “Walmart.” Today, during Country Radio Seminar for media and radio programmers, Hunt unveiled an unreleased song called “Locked Up.”
The new song is a stripped-down, honest, and soft tune seemingly written from his own experiences. In a candid take on Hunt’s checkered past, the singer vulnerably reflects on the love his wife showed him during hard times. “Locked Up” has the potential to be a huge song for the singer, once it is officially released. It checks all the boxes including stellar songwriting.
“The night I got locked up // Everything went wrong // The night I got messed up // I should’ve just stayed home // Picked up my phone // What can I say // Well, I thought that you’d walk away // But you stood by your man // Like Tammy Wynette”
Later in the song, fans can hear Hunt sing how appreciative he is that his wife loved him through it all. “Locked Up” is a true expression of what country music can be. Throughout his career, Hunt has continued to be a dedicated and honest songwriter, who shares his own experiences with fans. We cannot wait to see how Hunt continues to grow and develop as an artist with each new release this year.

Ingrid Andress and Sam Hunt score a joint number one single at country radio with their song, “Wishful Drinking.” Learn more here.
Last year when Ingrid Andress and Sam Hunt delighted fans with a new collaboration, we knew “Wishful Drinking” was something special. The sad-bop highlights the incredible vocal abilities from Andress, while Hunt’s signature sound shines through. “Wishful Drinking” marks the songstress’ first number one single at country radio and Hunt’s tenth!
The mid-tempo song is a masterful word-play track. “Wishful Drinking” depicts the feelings we all go through when we start drinking, thinking maybe things can work with someone you love. The two entertainers trade verses while maintaining some killer harmonies in the chorus.
“Maybe I’m just wishful drinking // Give my heart something to sink in // Better make it two, nothing I won’t do for another round of me and you // I get hopeful whеn I’m tipsy // Thinking you might actually miss me // It’s 100 proof, nothing I won’t do for another round of me and you”
While Andress and Hunt might have been an unpredictable pair, “Wishful Drinking” undeniably works. Clearly, country fans and country radio agree too! It will be interesting to see what is next for each artist respectively. Congrats to Andress and Hunt’s teams on an incredible feat!

Sam Hunt’s brand new song, “Water Under The Bridge” is out now, June 23rd, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the new track below.
Summer is officially here and we have brand new Sam Hunt music to kick it off perfectly! The singer-songwriter dropped his brand new song, “Water Under The Bridge,” today. It is an instant jam and a must-add to your playlists ASAP.
The new single, written by Hunt with his songwriting buddies, Chris LaCorte, Shane McAnally, and Josh Osborne, is a fast-paced bop. The song is a mood all of its own. “Water Under The Bridge” embodies nostalgia and those wild and carefree days of our youth.
“That muddy river, it was rollin’ // We didn’t care where it was goin’ // We had it made, we didn’t know it // We were young, dumb, and so full of it // Broken bottles and graffiti // Beer and girls and poppin’ wheelies // Love was fun and life was easy // Now it’s just water under the bridge”
We hope this new single is the start of more music to come from Hunt, who appears to be constantly writing new music. The singer always manages to release music that his fanbase flocks too, showcasing his undeniable charm and staying power one song at a time.

We love reminiscing about all the great country music to hit country radio over the last few years. In our brand new series, we’re looking back on the songs that made it to the top of the country airplay charts. Today, we’re highlighting songs in Sam Hunt’s career that hit the number one spot.
“Leave the Night On”- Montevallo, 2014

“Take Your Time”- Montevallo, 2014
“Take Your Time” was Hunt’s second single to country radio. The mid-tempo ballad with half-spoken and half-sung lyrics continued to catapult Hunt to stardom.
“House Party”- Montevallo, 2015
“House Party” upped the ante for Hunt. The song is the third single to head to country radio from his debut record Montevallo. It showcases the fun, party-side of Hunt and his incredible stage presence.
“Make You Miss Me”- Montevallo, 2016
One of our all-time Sam Hunt favorites, “Make You Miss Me” is the singer-songwriter’s fourth single to hit the top of the country airplay charts. The song made Hunt the first solo male artist to pull four Country Airplay number one hits from a debut record.
“Body Like a Back Road”- Southside, 2018

“Hard to Forget”- Southside, 2020

“Breaking Up Was Easy in the 90s”- Southside, 2020
Less than a year after its release, Hunt secured his eighth number-one single on the country airplay charts with “Breaking Up Was Easy in the 90s.” Hunt utilizes his signature ‘talk-singing’ on the track to convey how difficult break-ups are in modern times. This remains one of our favorite Hunt songs so far.
“23”- Southside, 2021
Most recently, Hunt’s song “23” hit the top spot on the charts. His first number one of 2022, the nostalgic song captures youth, young love, and a last-taste of summertime perfectly. It is the perfect song to lead us into summer.

It is about time that Carly Pearce and Ashley McBryde’s killer duet, “Never Wanted To Be That Girl” found its way to the top of the country charts! The song has been a fan-favorite for quite some time now, even earning nominations at various award shows. The number one marks the third top track for Pearce and the first for McBryde.
“Never Wanted To Be That Girl” tells the heart-wrenching story of two women loving the same man. Written by the songstresses with Shane McAnally, the song is undeniably catchy and poignant. The back and forth nature of the story makes for an enticing listen, every time. Pearce and McBryde prove that women in country music are absolute superstars!
“I never wanted to be that girl // I never wanted to hate myself // I thought this kind of lonely only happens to somebody else // Bein’ the other one when there’s another one // God, this feels like hell // Thought I knew who I was, but it’s gettin’ hard to tell // I never wanted to be that girl”
Both singer-songwriters put words to an experience that many women (and men) unfortunately go through. It truly is country music songwriting at its finest. Congrats to Pearce and McBryde on their number one!
