Country songs that have reached 1 billion streams | Music City Minute

Apr 20, 2026, 12:07 PM

While most of us have a basic grasp of mathematical concepts, it can be difficult to fathom the difference between 1 million and 1 billion. For instance, 1 million seconds equals about 11.5 days, whereas 1 billion seconds adds up to just over 31 years! Needless to say, 1 billion is a big number, and when a song reaches 1 billion streams, it is an equally massive accomplishment. Currently, there are 15 country songs apart of this ultra-exclusive club, with the newest member being Sam Hunt and his song “Body Like A Back Road.” The rest of the honors include Dasha’s “Austin,” Taylor Swift’s “Love Story,” Dan and Shay’s “10,000 Hours,” “I Had Some Help” from Post Malone and Morgan Wallen. These are followed by Chris Stapleton’s “Tennessee Whiskey,” Bebe Rexha’s “Meant To Be,” Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” “Old Town Road” from Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus, Zach Bryan’s “Something In The Orange” and “I Remember Everything.” Lastly are Morgan Wallen’s smash hits  “Whiskey Glasses” and “Last Night,” as well as “Beautiful Crazy” and “When It Rains, It Pours” from Luke Combs.
I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.
