Awesome / Sam Hunt

• Say what you will about his 2017 single "Body Like a Back Road" and its fidelity to true country music, but a 34-week run at No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart — a figure that was achieved partly through downloads and live streaming, and computerized tracking of radio airplay, technologies that were the stuff of science fiction in the 1950s (when the last time songs spent as long at No. 1) — is a testament to the song's popularity that nobody could deny. (The song's No. 6 peak on the Hot 100 and massive airplay on Top 40 radio also showed the song's popularity.)
