Maren Morris made history...
Sam Hunt and Tim McGraw cancel their tours...

Maren Morris made history! Her single “The Bones” has not only become her biggest pop hit since “The Middle” it's now broken a country chart record held by Taylor Swift.

“The Bones” has been #1 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart for 11 weeks, setting a new record for the longest running #1 ever on that chart by a solo female artist. Taylor previously held that title with her 2012 hit “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” which was #1 for 10 weeks.

Another fun fact- Bebe Rexha holds the record as the woman who's spent the most time at #1 on the Hot Country Songs chart, but she had help from FGL with “Meant to Be.” That song was at the top for 50 weeks.

Sam Hunt and Tim McGraw both announced yesterday that they are canceling their 2020 tours due to health concerns amid the pandemic. Sam summed it up the best by saying- this just absolutely sucks, for lack of a better term.
No word yet on whether or not either tour will be rescheduled.
