‘Miles’ Ahead: Marshmello & Kane Brown Travel to No. 1 on Country Airplay; Dasha, Thomas Rhett Hit Top 10

Marshmello and Kane Brown’s “Miles on It” rises two spots to No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart (dated Nov. 2). The song increased by 14% to 31.5 million audience impressions Oct. 18-24, according to Luminate.

Marshmello reigns in his rookie Country Airplay appearance. The prominent DJ notches the first debut No. 1 at the format since Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” began its seven-week domination in August.

Brown banks his 12th Country Airplay leader. It’s also his seventh in succession, the longest active streak among all artists. Notably, behind Brown with five consecutive career-opening chart-toppers is Jelly Roll, whose latest single, “I Am Not Okay,” holds at its No. 2 high (30.3 million, up 3%).

Prior to “Miles on It,” Brown last topped Country Airplay for one week in March with “I Can Feel It.” He first led with “What Ifs” (featuring Lauren Alaina) for a week in October 2017.

Meanwhile, “Miles on It” isn’t the first Marshmello and Brown collaboration. The two topped the streaming-, airplay- and sales-based Hot Country Songs chart with “One Thing Right” for a week in October 2019. They are among the co-writers of their new leader, which has hit No. 4 on the ranking and which introduces Brown’s LP The High Road, due Jan. 24, 2025.

Dasha Kicks Up First Top 10

Dasha’s co-penned “Austin” ascends 12-9 on Country Airplay (16.4 million, down 1%). The breakthrough single by the San Luis Obispo, Calif., native becomes the first freshman entry by a woman to hit the top 10 since Megan Moroney’s “Tennessee Orange,” which reached No. 4 in July 2023.

‘Beautiful’ Music

Plus, Thomas Rhett earns his 24th top 10 as“Beautiful as You” climbs 12-10 (16.1 million, up 7%). The single follows “Mamaw’s House” (featuring Morgan Wallen), which in March became Rhett’s 20th No. 1.
