Biggest Gains (50K+): Bang!, On Me, Save Your Tears, Way Out, Still Goin Down, Cover Me Up, More Than My Hometown, 7 Summers, Whoopty, 34+35, Somebody's Problem, Good Days

All 30 songs in Morgan Wallen's album debuted in the Top 100 of Spotify. Given how strong is also was on AM, even if many of the songs fall off as I expect them to do, we could be in for the first ever country album bomb

Also without the Morgan Wallen album bomb, Save Your Tears would be at #25

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^Songs from Morgan Wallen's album have started to slip a little bit as one would expect at Apple Music, since Good Days has already rebounded to #2 and they now are in the top 58 instead of the top 50. It will be interesting to see where they end up at the end of the tracking week.

lmao. By that measure then the last country #1 was... Old Town Road not that long ago.

[Enigma.]

Didn't Luke Combs have an album bomb too.. or guess it depends what is a bomb. I doubt that Morgan can have more than 5-6 songs.

not when it was in the 50s in country airplay at best, barely a blip. shake it off did that too; mere curiosity spins.

anyway:
besides billie, a scroll through kworb records indicates Olivia's the only currently-teen girl who toplined a US spotify T5.
Next youngest is camila who's currently 23.

Luke Combs dropped the deluxe for his most recent album and only had two songs debut. Only Forever After All cracked 1M streams though, Morgan will have a bigger bomb

[Gary]

I wouldn't use Hot Country Songs as a measure since that is just a derivative of the Hot 100, I would use Country Airplay to determine what a true country song actually is

[After Minutes]

So I know that I'm a teen boomer but who tf is Olivia Rodrigo

Yeah but you also have cases like Chris Stapleton’s “Tennessee Whiskey”. A country song that did great on the Hot Country Songs chart but was never a radio single. I don’t think anyone would reject that one as a true country song though. I do get what you mean though.

Morgan Wallen will definitely have a bigger album bomb than Luke Combs. His album is brand new and 27 of those songs hadn't been heard before yesterday. If he remains dominant on Apple Music throughout the week, his performance on Spotify won't really matter, and he'll still debut upwards of a dozen songs on the Hot 100, even if they're mostly in the 50-100 range of the chart.

She's an actress off this Disney show called Bizaardvark and High School Musical: the Series, I think she's like 17 right now. 

[Lost In Musical Reverie]

Oh my goodness! "Save Your Tears" is already up to #48 on Spotify despite Morgan Wallen's album bomb! ❤

Speaking of whom, what a great day for country music. It seems like the transition to crossover into streaming has finally been concluded.

Which is why Country Digital Song Sales still needs to be taken into consideration. Tennessee Whiskey has 250 weeks total there.

let's wait at least for a country female to go top 10 without pop artist collab before we say that.

There are counter examples of course

Hot Country Songs or Digital Songs often get arbitrary assignments to genre based on the name of the artist

Tennessee Whiskey did indeed get some country airplay but it didn't get very high. Not sure why, perhaps it sounds less country than the George Jones or David Allan Coe version that it came from - not sure


Anyway for example - 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' the Taylor Swift's first entry as a pop singer- is that really a country song just because it was assigned that genre for Hot Country Songs and got some country airplay because of her name?

Airplay is, in general though a better measure I think for country songs. If the song isn't truly country it is not going to get played on country radio very long, if at all

Didn't I Hope reach the Top 10 on it's own though? I know the Puth remix helped reach the Top 3 but it hit the Top 10 before Puth was credited 

[Lost In Musical Reverie]

And let's not forget "The Bones" came extremely close at #12, even it it's more country-pop, I guess.

[Enigma.]

A country song by someone else than Taylor or Lil Nas X at #1 is only a matter of time. The labels just need to report 100k digital sales to Soundscan. :kii:

It didn't go top 10 on its own because the remix contributed lots of points to it.

Like how Savage Remix was stuck at #14, then shot up to #4 but Bey wasn't credited yet because the remix didn't have 50.00% of the points yet. Megan didn't go T10 on her own at that time.

i wouldn’t say extremely close ... meant to be was closer at #2 and more country

[fridayteenage]

Just saw Olivia is part Asian too; even better. I had hopes for Hailee being a popstar, but musically after Starving she faded.

It did go to the top 10 on its own the first time the same week 7 Summers debuted in the top 10.

[Gary]

So what was the last song that went to #1 country (radio) and #1 pop without the aid of a pop remix?

[Raccoon]

I predict Drivers License will be #1 on US Spotify tomorrow.

[fridayteenage]

I Hope feat Charlie Puth: released April
I Hope goes top 10 late August.

savage didn't go t10 purely on solo points and neither did this. end this.
