Country icon <a title="George Strait" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSStrait/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fgeorge-strait-tickets%2F">George Strait</a> previously held the title at 84 weeks.<br />

&#8220;We are absolutely blown away and extremely humbled to even be on the same chart as <a title="George Strait" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSStrait/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fgeorge-strait-tickets%2F">George Strait</a> and some of our other heroes and country legends, so it&#8217;s wild to see our songs total 90 weeks at No. 1,&#8221; FGL’s <a title="Brian Kelley" href="https://countrymusicontour.com/brian-kelley-adds-20-tour-dates/">Brian Kelley</a> shared with <em><a title="Click to open in a new window or tab

<p>Adding to their history-making legacy, FGL and <strong>BEBE REXHA</strong> are now tied at #1 for 34 consecutive weeks with <a title="Sam Hunt" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSSamHunt/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fsam-hunt-tickets%2F">Sam Hunt</a>’s “Body Like a Back Road.” The collaboration first topped the chart on December 16, 2017, and is anticipated to surpass the longest-running song record next week. FGL has had six pinnacle moments at #1 on the chart in total – “Cruise”; “Stay”; “This Is How We Roll”; “Dirt”; “H.O.L.Y.”; “Meant to Be” (Bebe Rexha &; FGL). The latest run exceeds FGL’s own former topper “Cruise” riding 24 weeks straight.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s safe to say that we all felt like we had something special when we left the studio that night,&#8221; FGL’s <a title="Tyler Hubbard" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSTHubbard/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Ftyler-hubbard-tickets%2F">Tyler Hubbard</a> explains of the fated tune he penned alongside Rexha, Josh Miller, and David Garcia. &#8220;But it was more than just special. There&#8217;s no doubt that this song is anointed by the best writer there is, the Lord. With every unexpected surprise in the story of &#8216;Meant to Be,&#8217; God was showing himself to be stronger than any tradition or genre. I&#8217;m so thankful to be a part of this song and humbled more with each week that it remains at the top of the <em>Billboard</em> chart.&#8221;</p>
<p>For a 30th week, “Meant to Be” leads Country Streaming Songs (with 15.2 million U.S. streams) and is currently #6 on Country Digital Song Sales (12,000 sold), after leading the chart for 22 weeks. Spinning at both Country and Pop radio, it led the Country Airplay chart (4/28) plus Adult Pop Songs (two weeks) and all-genre Radio Songs (five weeks).</p>
