The song reigns at No. 1 for ten consecutive weeks
Country breakout star Nate Smith continues to dominate at No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart for the tenth consecutive week with his smash hit single “World On Fire.” This feat ties Morgan Wallen’s “You Proof” for the longest run at No. 1 for his song “You Proof” and marks Smith as the first artist to achieve this run with a second single at country radio and a consecutive week run. The song also hit No. 1 on the Mediabase/Country Aircheck chart for three weeks.
Last week, Smith debuted his latest anthemic single, “Bulletproof,” along with an official video. Written by Ashley Gorley, Ben Johnson, and Hunter Phelps, the song battles the bulletproof memory of a past relationship. Additionally, the singer announced his Through The Smoke EP, arriving on April 5th via Sony Music Nashville.
Last month, Smith brought a fiery performance of “World On Fire” to NBC’s Today with Hoda & Jenna. With over 175 million global streams to date, “World On Fire” follows Smith’s platinum-certified, multi-week No. 1 debut single “Whiskey On You.” Only 19 songs went to No. 1 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart last year, two of which belong to Smith.
“World On Fire” is one of 26 tracks on Smith’s self-titled album released last year. The album hit No. 6 on Billboard’s Country Albums chart and No. 30 overall on the Billboard Top 200. Nate Smith also includes RIAA Gold-certified hits “Wreckage” and “Under My Skin.” Smith now has over a billion total career streams worldwide and has achieved four No. 1’s on SiriusXM The Highway’s Hot 30 Weekend Countdown with “Whiskey On You,” “I Found You,” “Better Boy,” and “World On Fire.”
Smith kicked off his headline World on Fire Tour this month, with plans to stop in 21 major cities across the country including Chicago, Indianapolis, NYC, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Sacramento. Afterwards, he’ll join Morgan Wallen for his One Night at a Time 2024 Tour. He will open the highly sought-after tour in stadiums across the country, with stops in Arlington, Charlotte, Denver, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, Nashville, Oxford, Tampa, and other cities. Smith will also return to Stagecoach in April after his debut appearance at the festival last year.
Last month, Smith received a nomination at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards for Best New Artist (Country). The show will air live on Fox on Monday, April 1st at 8 pm ET, as well as broadcast live on 150+ iHeartRadio stations around the country.
