Josh Ross has landed his first-ever No. 1 at U.S. country radio this week with “Single Again,” which he co-wrote with Joe Fox and Brad Rempel.
Topping the Mediabase Country chart after a 71-week trek, the single makes Ross the first Canadian male to top the chart in nearly 30 years, and he is one of only three Canadian men (along with Paul Brandt and Hank Snow) to ever reign atop the U.S. country charts. Ross has also achieved three No. 1s at Canadian Country radio with “Ain’t Doin’ Jack,” “Single Again” and “Trouble.”
“Possibly the biggest news to date in my career—I woke up having the No. 1 song at U.S. country radio,” Ross shared on his socials. “I started coming to Nashville in 2018 with a dream of writing songs and maybe hearing some of my own on the radio one day. Today it’s the most played song in the country. I can’t thank Brad Rempel and Joe Fox enough for writing this hungover idea with me, Matt Geroux for crushing the production, and all my team members at The Core, MCA / Mercury, UMC, The Neal Agency, Feldman Agency, Damon Moberly and his incredible promotion team, Warner Chappell Music, and many more—it takes a village. We all work so dang hard. To the fans, love y’all. This is just fuel being added to the fire.”
The success of “Single Again” adds to over one billion global career streams for Ross, whose full-length debut album, Later Tonight is due out Sept. 19.
