Zach Top Earns First Chart-Topper With ‘I Never Lie’

Zach Top has landed his first No. 1 single at country radio this week as “I Never Lie” tops the Mediabase/Country Aircheck chart.

Written by Top with Carson Chamberlain and Tim Nichols, the song also reached No. 1 at Canadian country radio, and has spent six consecutive weeks as the most-played on Australian country radio. The achievement adds to a landmark year for Top, who was named 2025 ACM New Male Artist of the Year and performed his song, “Use Me,” during the ACM Awards.

Top is in the midst of his extensive “Cold Beer & Country Music Tour,” and is also supporting select dates on Alan Jackson’s “Last Call Tour” this spring and will join Dierks Bentley’s “Broken Branches Tour” kicking off later this month. The dates will highlight songs from Top’s debut album, Cold Beer & Country Music, which garnered over 3.5 million streams in just its first week and was nominated for ACM Album of the Year.
