On Jan. 28, 1995, Alan Jackson’s “Gone Country” hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart.
The track was solely authored by Bob McDill and produced by Keith Stegall. In 2017, Billboard described the song as, lyrically, “reflective of a time period where many artists were coming to Music City from New York, Los Angeles and all points in between. Jackson told the press that he definitely understood the appeal of the format to newcomers and welcomed them all to town. Even so, there was a little bit of gently-placed sarcasm on this one, which helped to make it yet another No. 1.”
“Gone Country” was released as the third of five singles from Jackson’s album Who I Am, which yielded four Hot Country Songs leaders: “Summertime Blues” (three weeks), “Livin’ on Love” (three), “Gone Country” (one week) and “I Don’t Even Know Your Name” (one). Fourth single “Song for the Life” hit No. 6. Who I Am became his second of 14 No. 1s on the Top Country Albums chart.
“Gone Country” marked Jackson’s ninth of 26 No. 1s on Hot Country Songs. Dating to his first, “I’d Love You All Over Again,” in March 1991, he and Tim McGraw boast the most leaders: 26 each.

Jackson was born Oct. 17, 1958, in Newman, Ga., and moved to Nashville in 1985 to follow his dreams. He became the first artist signed to Arista Records’ then-new country division in June 1989. His first of 84 Hot Country Songs entries, “Blue Blooded Woman,” peaked at No. 45. He followed with his first of 51 top 10s, the No. 3-peaking “Here in the Real World.”
In 1979, Jackson married his high school sweetheart, Denise Jackson (yep, same last name). The couple has been married for 45 years and has three daughters.
On Sept. 28, 2021, in an interview on NBC’s Today with Jenna Bush Hager, Jackson revealed that he had been diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT), a degenerative nerve condition which limits his ability to perform. Inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2017, he released his 21st studio set, Where Have You Gone, in May 2021. It arrived at its No. 2 best on Top Country Albums, becoming his 28th and most recent top 10.
New month, new ruler on Billboard’s Regional Mexican Airplay chart, as Oscar Maydon and Fuerza Regida’s co-billed single “Tu Boda” jumps 5-1 for its first week atop the radio ranking (dated Feb. 1). The new coronation lands two weeks after the song capped its 11-consecutive-week command on Hot Latin Songs.

“Tu Boda” advances to the summit on Regional Mexican Airplay after a 17% boost in audience impressions, to 7 million, logged in the U.S. in the tracking week of Jan. 17-23, according to Luminate. The collaboration unseats Eden Muñoz’s “Mi Lugar Favorito” which moves to No. 2 after a 6% drop in audience (to 6.6 million).
Trending on Billboard
As mentioned, “Tu Boda’s” new ascent on Regional Mexican Airplay arrives following its 11-week coronation on the multi-metric Hot Latin Songs chart, which gave Maydon his first champ last November on the list that combines airplay, digital downloads and streaming data into its formula. There, despite a 6% dip in streams (down to 7.6 million official U.S. clicks), the song jumps 20-16 thanks to its radio boost.
Both Maydon and Fuerza Regida add a new No. 1 to their Regional Mexican Airplay career. For Maydon, “Tu Boda” secures the singer-songwriter his second leader, following “Mercedes,” with Becky G, last August. Fuerza Regida collects its fourth (all through team-ups) which begun with three-week ruler “Bebe Dame,” with Grupo Frontera, in March 2023.
While “Tu Boda” also improves with a 17% lift on the overall Latin Airplay ranking, there, it gains 9 million audience impressions, holding it No. 3 high for a second straight week.

ROSÉ and Bruno Mars’ “APT.” rules the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart for a 13th week. The team-up, which in November debuted as the stars’ second leader each on the list, ties for the second-longest command in the chart’s four-year-plus history, matching the reigns of Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” (2023) and Harry Styles’ “As It Was” (2022). The only song that has led longer is Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” with 14 weeks at No. 1 since 2020.
Plus, Bad Bunny again charts five Global Excl. U.S. top 10s, all from his new LP, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, which adds a second week at No. 1 on the U.S.-based Billboard 200 albums chart. Among Bunny’s bounty of top 10s, “EoO” reaches the tier for the first time, rising to No. 10.

Belying its title, Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” remains a steadily dominant hit, topping Billboard’s Radio Songs chart for a 26th week – tying The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” for the most time spent at No. 1 in the survey’s history.
“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” previously logged a record-tying 19 weeks at No. 1 on the streaming-, airplay- and sales-based Billboard Hot 100, beginning last July.

“A Bar Song (Tipsy),” on American Dogwood/EMPIRE, with country radio promotion by Magnolia Music, dominated the Country Airplay chart for seven weeks beginning last August, the longest No. 1 run for a first entry, and ranks in the top 10 for a record-extending 30th week.
The song also made history as the first to hit the top five (or even top 10) on Country Airplay, Pop Airplay, Adult Pop Airplay (two weeks at No. 1 on each chart) and Rhythmic Airplay (No. 3 peak).
“There were many, many doubters of our ability to work this record at radio,” EMPIRE COO Nima Etminan told Billboard after “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” hit No. 1 on the Hot 100. “The industry loves telling independents that there’s a ceiling to what they can do on their own, and this was no different. We were told it can’t be done, and, as we like to do, we proved them wrong. We’ve assembled a fantastic team that we had full faith in – and they delivered.”

Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” notches a fourth total and consecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart.
The ballad became Gaga’s sixth Hot 100 leader and Mars’ ninth. Gaga runs up her sole second-longest No. 1 stay, as “Die With a Smile” breaks out of a tie with her debut smash “Just Dance” (featuring Colby O’Donis), which ruled for three weeks in January 2009. She dominated for six weeks in February-April 2011 with “Born This Way.”
Mars logs his fifth Hot 100 reign of four or more weeks, following his featured turn on Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Funk!” (14 weeks at No. 1, in 2015) and his own “Locked Out of Heaven” (six, 2012-13), “Grenade” (four, 2011) and “Just the Way You Are” (four, 2010).
Plus, Mars adds his 38th career week at No. 1 on the Hot 100, surpassing Michael Jackson (as a soloist, apart from the Jackson 5) for the sole eighth-most time spent in the top spot. Mariah Carey leads with 97 career weeks at No. 1.
Also notably, Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” at No. 4 on the Hot 100 after a record-tying 19 weeks at No. 1, matches the longest rule ever on the Radio Songs chart – 26 weeks – equaling the command of The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” in 2020.
Additionally, Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control,” at No. 7, becomes just the seventh single to spend at least 75 weeks on the Hot 100.
The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations.
