Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley of Florida Georgia Line and Bebe Rexha are the kings and queen of the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.
FGL and Bebe’s smash hit, “Meant to Be,” is No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart for the 35th week, breaking the tie of 34 weeks it shared with Sam Hunt’s “Body Like a Back Road.” The 59-year-old Billboard Hot Country Songs chart blends streaming, airplay and sales data.
FGL’s “Cruise” owned the record before Sam’s “Body Like a Back Road” broke it in 2017.
“Meant to Be” was co-penned by Bebe Rexha, Josh Miller, David Garcia and FGL’s Tyler Hubbard.
“From day one, this song was just meant to be,” says Tyler. “Bebe jumped in on a canceled writing session last minute and now it’s going down in history.”
