Johnson’s First No. 1

- —JIM ASKER

Cody Johnson earns his first Hot Country Songs chart-topper with “’Til You Can’t.” Sparking its coronation — from No. 6 — the song surged by 21% to 8.4 million streams in the week ending Feb. 17, according to MRC Data, as it jumps 7-2 on Country Streaming Songs. It leads Country Digital Song Sales for a second week (3,900 sold) and rises 10-8 on Country Airplay (17.1 million impression­s, up 7%).

“I’m so excited to see the ripples that this song has created,” Johnson says of the Matt Rogers and Ben Stennis co-write. “’Til You Can’t” serves as the lead single from Johnson’s Human: The Double Album, which arrived at its No. 3 high on Top Country Albums last October — his fourth top 10 entry on the chart. The track “has such a positive message, and it’s so much fun to sing,” he says. “After playing music for almost 15 years, I’m still taken back by the power of a good country song.”
