HARDY's "Favorite Country Song" Holds Country Airplay Top Spot For Third Straight Week

HARDY's "Favorite Country Song" maintains its position at No. 1 on Billboard's Country Airplay chart for a third consecutive week, drawing 31.6 million audience impressions from January 23-29. This marks the Mississippi native's fourth Country Airplay No. 1 as a recording artist and his first multi-week leader. The song becomes HARDY's longest-running hit, surpassing his previous two-week chart-toppers, "Single Saturday Night" by Cole Swindell and "God's Country" by Blake Shelton, both co-written by HARDY. As a songwriter, this represents his 15th number one hit overall. HARDY tells Billboard that the overwhelming response from fans gave him a clear signal of the song's potential: "Realizing how quickly the fans were singing it back to me was the change. Seeing them pick up on it so fast, I knew it was going to be different." HARDY launches the Canadian leg of his 2026 COUNTRY! COUNTRY! TOUR! on Thursday, February 5.
