Morgan Wallen Scores Sweet 16th Country Airplay No. 1 With ‘Love Somebody’

Morgan Wallen earns his 16th No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart as “Love Somebody” lifts a spot to the top of the tally dated Feb. 1. The song, which he co-wrote, increased by 9% to 33.8 million audience impressions Jan. 17-23, according to Luminate.

Dating to his first Country Airplay No. 1, “Up Down” (featuring Florida Georgia Line), in June 2018, the Sneedville, Tenn., native boasts the most leaders, surpassing Luke Combs’ 15 in that span.

Wallen logged five Country Airplay No. 1s during 2025, giving him the honor of becoming the first artist to bank that many in a single year in the survey’s 35-year history. “Lies Lies Lies” led for a week last November, following “Cowgirls” (featuring Ernest; one week, July); Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help” (featuring Wallen; four weeks, June-July); “Man Made a Bar” (featuring Eric Church; one, April); and Thomas Rhett’s “Mamaw’s House” (featuring Wallen; one, March).

“Love Somebody” – which debuted at No. 1 on the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart and the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 in November – “Lies Lies Lies” and Wallen’s latest single, “Smile,” are all stand-alone singles so far, ahead of his newly announced forthcoming album, I’m the Problem. “Smile” ascends 37-35 on the latest Country Airplay chart (3.5 million, up 24%).

A ‘Damn Good’ Week

Riley Green adds his fifth Country Airplay top 10 as “Damn Good Day to Leave” rises 11-10, up 12% to 16.3 million in audience. The 36-year-old from Jacksonville, Ala., earned his second No. 1 as featured on Ella Langley’s “You Look Like You Love Me,” which controlled the tally for a week in December. He last reached the top 10 as a lead artist with “Different ‘Round Here” (featuring Luke Combs), which hit No. 2 in February 2024.
