Morgan Wallen notches his ninth top 10 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart, as “One Thing at a Time” rises to No. 10 on the list dated April 22.

In the week ending April 13, the song gained by 9% to 17.3 million impressions, according to Luminate.

The track is the title cut to Wallen’s latest LP, which has spent its first five weeks at No. 1 on the Top Country Albums chart, as well as the all-genre Billboard 200. It drew 173,000 equivalent album units in the week ending April 6.

Meanwhile, Wallen becomes the first artist to post three solely-billed songs simultaneously in the top 15 since Country Airplay began in January 1990. “Thought You Should Know,” which ruled for three weeks in February-March, ranks at No. 5 (22.8 million, down 4%) and “Last Night” leaps 17-13 (16.1 million, up 28%, good for Greatest Gainer honors).

Two other artists have charted three songs at once in the Country Airplay top 15 but with other credited acts: Tim McGraw, for two weeks in 2016 (thanks to collaborations with Big & Rich and Florida Georgia Line), and Kenny Chesney, for two frames in 2004 (Jimmy Buffett, Uncle Kracker).

The No. 1 song on the April 15-dated Billboard Hot 100, for a second nonconsecutive week, “Last Night” also pushes to No. 20 on Pop Airplay and No. 21 on Adult Pop Airplay and debuts at No. 27 on Adult Contemporary (all dated April 22).

‘Rock’ Steady

Meanwhile, Bailey Zimmerman’s “Rock and a Hard Place” becomes the first song to lead Country Airplay for four weeks in 2023 (34.2 million, down 1%).

The track is Zimmerman’s second straight career-opening Country Airplay No. 1, after “Fall in Love” led for one week in December. Plus, his new single, “Religiously,” ranks at No. 56 (980,000, up 3%).
