YTD Charts: Down The Stretch As we make the turn for home in this year’s chart races, here’s how Country radio airplay stacks up as measured by the top songs, top artists and top labels at the three-quarter pole of the chart year. Tim McGraw leads the Top 10 artists, garnering the most airplay points for the first three-quarters of the 2017 chart year. He leads Blake Shelton by a nose. Trailing Blake, the rest of the field has Florida Georgia Line, Jason Aldean, Brett Young, Keith Urban, Luke Bryan, Thomas Rhett, Jon Pardi and Dustin Lynch. While the Top 10 is led by an artist who had his first hit some 23 years ago, four of those 10 – Lynch, Pardi, Rhett, and Young – Scored Rangers: Big Label’s Aaron Watson pulls in a Texas- have been on the national scene five or fewer sized crowd for a performance at Globe Life Park in Arlington, TX Saturday (8/19).

At its close, the protagonist decides whether to go to his girl or not, but the pivotal line “so you go” is not sung as the song closes. I said to the band, “He goes, right?” Matt shoots me a quizzical look and says, “May- be he doesn’t.” Matt and Brad joke back and forth about whether or not he stays home or goes to her, when Matt asks me why I think the guy goes to her. “I like happy endings,” I said. Through the rest of the afternoon “Happy Endings” became a COUNTRY running joke as we talked about other songs on the album. The RCHECK guys would even crack, “Here’s another song from our new album ‘Happy Endings’ to cheers and lots of laughs. “At one point I think we even took a vote,” said Matt when the band was in to co-host Country Countdown USA with me. “And it was unanimous for Happy Endings.
