Riley Green, Corey Kent & Ella Langley Notch New Top 10s on Country Airplay Chart

Riley Green’s “Worst Way” becomes one of three new top 10s on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart, dated May 17.

The track hops from No. 11 to No. 8 on the survey, up 10% to 16.6 million audience impressions May 2-8, according to Luminate.

With the song — from Green’s LP Don’t Mind If I Do, which entered Top Country Albums at its No. 8 best last November — he banks his sixth Country Airplay top 10. It follows his duet with Ella Langley, “You Look Like You Love Me,” which led for a week in December, becoming his second chart-topper. He first led as featured on Thomas Rhett’s “Half of Me” for a week in November 2022. “There Was This Girl” became his first top 10 (No. 3, 2019).

Notably, Green wrote “Worst Way” solo. It’s the first Country Airplay top 10 by one author since Chayce Beckham’s self-penned “23,” which led for a week in April 2024.

Big ‘Heart’

Corey Kent lands his second Country Airplay top 10 as “This Heart” rises 12-9 (16.4 million, up 12%). The song, from the Bixby, Okla., native’s album Black Bandana, released last fall, follows “Wild as Her,” which hit No. 3 in May 2023.

‘Wind’ Blows In

Ella Langley achieves her second Country Airplay top 10 as “Weren’t for the Wind” gusts 13-10 (15.5 million, up 12%). The single, from her 2024 LP Hungover, follows her chart-topping Riley Green team-up “You Look Like You Love Me” (see above).

Ongoing ‘Problem’

Morgan Wallen’s “I’m the Problem” dominates Country Airplay for a fourth total and consecutive week (30.7 million, up 1%). The song marks the fifth of his 17 No. 1s to rule for four or more frames. His longest-leading hit, “You Proof,” reigned for 10 weeks beginning in October 2022. It’s tied for the longest command in the chart’s 35-year history with Nate Smith’s “World on Fire” (2023-24).

‘The Giver’ Debuts

Chappell Roan makes her Country Airplay debut as “The Giver” enters at the chart’s No. 60 anchor spot (512,000 in audience, up 1%). The pop star’s country turn launched at its No. 5 best on the Billboard Hot 100 in March and reached Nos. 32 and 37 on Adult Pop Airplay and Pop Airplay, respectively, in April.

All charts dated May 17 will update on Billboard.com on May 13 (Tuesday).
