BOOTS IN THE STREAM

If our brand new, BuzzAngle Music-powered Country Song Streams Chart were a country bar, the drinks would be on Sam Hunt. The MCA Nashville crossover phenom's "Body Like a Back Road" is #1 on that chart with 7.3m+ streams, more than double the #2 contender, River House/Columbia Nashville newcomer Luke Combs with "Hurricane" (Luke also scored a Top 5 SPS bow this week).

The rest of the Top 5 includes Big Machine/BMLG's Brett Young, RCA Nashville/Zone 4's Kane Brown and BMLGR's Florida Georgia Line.

The chart further underscores the "long tail" of big records on the platform, as older tracks like "Die a Happy Man" by Valory/BMLG's Thomas Rhett, "Tennessee Whiskey" by Mercury Nashville's Chris Stapleton and "Springsteen" by Eric Church continue to command impressive numbers.

Marketshare breaks down as 69% UMG, 21% Sony Music and 10% WMG.

Check out the whole chart here, y'all.
