Morgan Wallen earns his 14th No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart (dated July 27), as “Cowgirls” gallops to the winner’s circle. The track features Ernest, who earns his first leader as a recording artist, following nine as a songwriter.

The song advanced by 6% to 33.7 million impressions July 12-18, according to Luminate.

“Cowgirls” — which Ernest, Rocky Block, Ashley Gorley, James Maddocks and Ryan Vojtesak wrote — replaces Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help,” featuring Wallen, at No. 2 (33 million, down less than 1%), after four frames atop Country Airplay. Wallen becomes the second act in the chart’s 34-year history to log back-to-back leaders. On the surveys dated March 9 and 16, 2002, Tim McGraw first achieved the feat, as featured on Jo Dee Messina’s “Bring on the Rain” and then with his own “The Cowboy in Me.”

Meanwhile, Wallen notches a fourth week holding down the Country Airplay tally’s top two spots simultaneously, extending his record for the longest such double-up.



Plus, “Cowgirls” is from Wallen’s 2023 LP One Thing at a Time, which has dominated Top Country Albums for 55 weeks. It’s the sixth Country Airplay chart-topper from the set, following “You Proof” (10 weeks), “Thought You Should Know” (three), “Last Night” (eight), “Man Made a Bar” featuring Eric Church (one week) and “Thinkin’ Bout Me” (five).

The album is the second to generate six Country Airplay No. 1s without the assistance of a deluxe edition, after Luke Bryan first earned the honor via his 2015 collection Kill the Lights. Counting its original (five No. 1s) and deluxe versions (two), Luke Combs’ 2019 set What You See Is What You Get yielded seven leaders.
