Morgan Wallen banks his 10th leader on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart as “Thinkin’ Bout Me” ascends from No. 2 to No. 1 on the ranking dated Oct. 28.
The single increased by 5% to 32.5 million audience impressions Oct. 13-19, according to Luminate.
The song was written by John Byron, Ashley Gorley, Taylor Phillips and Charlie Handsome, the lattermost of whom also produced the song with Joey Moi.
Wallen has another track inside the Country Airplay top 10: “Everything I Love,” which pushes 10-9 for a new high (18.8 million, up 1%).
The Sneedville, Tenn., native added his ninth Country Airplay chart-topper, the crossover smash “Last Night,” which reached the penthouse in May and dominated for eight frames. “Last Night” led the streaming-, airplay- and sales-based Hot Country Songs survey for 25 weeks beginning in February, giving the singer-songwriter his seventh No. 1. It’s the fourth-longest-ruling hit since the chart launched in 1958 as an all-encompassing weekly genre recap.
Wallen earned the first of his 10 Country Airplay No. 1s, and 12 top 10s, with “Up Down” (featuring Florida Georgia Line), which led for one week in June 2018.
