Chase Matthew Notches His First Ever No. 1 On Billboard Country Airplay Chart With “Darlin’”

Chase Matthew has scored his first No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart with “Darlin’,” after garnering 31.3 million audience impressions for the week of Oct. 31–Nov. 6. This marks Matthew’s third charting single, following his first appearance in the Top 10 with his 2014 breakthrough hit, “Love You Again,” which peaked at No. 9. The Sevierville, Tennessee native co-wrote the track with Jake Angel and Alex Maxwell, who also share producer credits. Matthew’s rapidly growing fanbase was bolstered by a recent high-profile opening stint on Keith Urban‘s High and Alive World Tour, with a series of solo headlining dates scheduled into next year. Meanwhile, Washington-born Tucker Wetmore earned his second Top 10 on the Country Airplay chart as “3, 2, 1” climbed to No. 10, also marking a breakthrough for co-writer Summer Overstreet, daughter of esteemed songwriter Paul Overstreet, who celebrated her first ever Top 10 hit as a writer.
