Thomas Rhett’s “Die a Happy Man” was the No. 1 tune on both the Top 10 On-Demand Country Song Streams chart and the Top 10 On-Demand Country Audio Streams chart.
Tim McGraw’s “Humble and Kind” edged out Florida Georgia Line’s “H.O.L.Y.” on the Top 10 Selling Digital Country Songs chart, while Sam Hunt’s “Break Up in a Small Town” copped the No. 1 spot on the Top 10 On-Demand Country Video Streams chart.
