Shaboozey and Jelly Roll’s “Amen” tops chart

Amen by Shaboozey and Jelly Roll leads Billboard’s Country Airplay chart dated April 4, 2026, for a second week. The track earned audience impressions, according to Luminate data reported by Billboard.

The song extends both artists’ history of multi-week No. 1 hits on country radio. This marks another sustained run rather than a one-week peak.

Country Airplay, which began in 1990, measures radio audience reach across U.S. stations. Multi-week collaboration leaders remain uncommon within this dataset.

Amen holds No. 1 for week two

“Amen” remains at No. 1 on Country Airplay for a second consecutive week, showing continued strength at country radio. Audience impressions dipped 2% week over week, but the song held the top spot on the April 4, 2026 chart.

A second week at No. 1 points to stable rotation across country radio stations. The song’s airplay remained strong enough to outpace the rest of the field despite the slight decline in impressions.

Amen’s radio reach hits 32.1M

“Amen” reached 32.1 million audience impressions during the tracking period of March 20 to 26. This figure reflects how many listeners heard the song across monitored country stations.

The 2% decline from the prior week did not impact its chart position. Competing songs did not surpass their total reach during the same period. Audience impressions are a key metric used by Billboard to rank Country Airplay songs.

Shaboozey extends multi-week streak

Shaboozey has now earned multi-week No. 1 runs with all three of his Country Airplay chart toppers. “Amen” follows “Good News,” which led for two weeks in 2025.

His breakout hit “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” dominated for seven weeks in 2024. This consistency shows a strong track record with radio audiences.

“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” became Shaboozey’s longest-running No. 1 with seven weeks, according to Billboard chart archives. This pattern places Shaboozey among artists with reliable repeat success on country radio formats.

Jelly Roll logs sixth multi-week hit

Jelly Roll records his sixth multi-week No. 1 on Country Airplay with “Amen.” His streak of multi-week leaders dates back to 2023.

His previous multi-week hits include “Heart of Stone,” “Liar,” and “Need a Favor,” each lasting multiple weeks. “I Am Not Okay” and “Save Me” also held for more than one week.

This sustained performance reflects a strong connection with country radio listeners. His songs frequently maintain airplay momentum beyond debut peaks.

Jelly Roll reaches 9 for 9 streak

Jelly Roll has achieved nine No. 1 hits in nine attempts on Country Airplay. This marks the longest active streak among all current artists on the chart.

Each of his chart-topping songs has reached the summit without missing. This level of consistency is rare in radio-driven rankings.

The success of “Amen” continues this streak, reinforcing his position as a dominant figure in country airplay metrics as of April 2026.

Collabs are rare chart leaders

Collaborations represent a small portion of Country Airplay No. 1 hits since 1990. Only 82 collaborative songs have reached the top position.

These songs account for 141 total weeks at No. 1, roughly one in nine leaders overall. This shows that solo artists dominate the chart historically.

“Amen” stands out within this limited group of collaborations. Its continued success highlights how rare sustained co-billed hits are in country radio.

Most collabs last one week only

Out of 82 No. 1 collaborations, 55 held the top spot for just one week. This means most joint releases do not sustain extended dominance.

“Amen” surpasses this pattern by reaching a second week at No. 1. Multi-week runs are achieved by only a minority of collaborations.

This data reinforces the song’s strong radio performance. It also places the track in a more selective group of longer-lasting hits.

Amen joins elite multi-week group

“Amen” is only the 27th collaboration in Country Airplay history to lead for more than one week. This places it in a highly limited category.

The chart’s long history makes this milestone significant. Very few collaborative songs maintain enough momentum for repeat weeks at the top.

“It’s Your Love” by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill stayed No. 1 for six weeks in 1997, according to Billboard archives. This comparison highlights how rare extended collaboration success has been over the decades.

Fun fact: Tim McGraw actually proposed to Faith Hill backstage during a tour in 1996, and the couple later pulled off a surprise wedding disguised as a casual event, catching even their guests off guard.

Classics set long run benchmarks

Some collaborations have set high benchmarks for longevity on Country Airplay. “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere” by Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett led for eight weeks in 2003.

“It’s Your Love” by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill followed with six weeks in 1997. These remain among the longest-running collaborative leaders.“Amen” has reached two weeks so far.

While shorter, it still joins a select group that exceeds the typical one-week peak for collaborations.

Riley Green moves into the top 10 with “Change My Mind,” rising from No. 13 to No. 10 in its 13th week. The song earned 17.1 million audience impressions.

This marks his eighth top 10 entry on Country Airplay. His recent singles have shown consistent chart performance.

His previous three releases since 2024 each reached No. 1. This includes collaborations with Ella Langley and his solo track “Worst Way.”

Fun fact: Before rising to fame in country music, Riley Green was actually a Division I college football quarterback at Jacksonville State University, showing he had serious athletic talent.
