Thomas Rhett earns 15th No 1

“Beer Can’t Fix” features Jon Pardi

Multi-platinum entertainer Thomas Rhett has earned his 15th career No. 1 hit as his current single “Beer Can’t Fix” featuring Jon Pardi (who racks up his fourth No 1 with the single) summits both the Mediabase/Country Airplay and Billboard Country Airplay charts this week, having previously earned a multi-week run atop the Canadian country charts. The song marks Thomas Rhett’s ninth consecutive No. 1, breaking the Billboard Country Airplay Chart record for most consecutive chart-toppers, while his “timely new release” (PEOPLE) “Be A Light” simultaneously breaks into the Top 25.

“Beer Can’t Fix” was penned by Rhett, Julian Bunetta, Zach Skelton and Ryan Tedder and serves as the third consecutive chart-topper from Thomas Rhett’s GRAMMY-nominated fourth studio album Center Point Road (The Valory Music Co.), which debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart and has now earned RIAA gold certification.

“I am blown away that this is my 15th No. 1 single,” Rhett shares in a statement. “It’s a crazy time right now for everyone and it’s really fitting for me that a song I started writing with my buddies during a bad game of golf, and that features another good buddy, Jon Pardi, has maybe helped to bring a smile to people’s faces right now. I am beyond grateful to the fans and country radio and can’t wait to celebrate with everybody soon.”

In March, Rhett released “Be A Light,” a never-before-heard song with the help of friends Reba McEntire, Hillary Scott, Chris Tomlin and Keith Urban. Rhett co-wrote the timeless message sure to embolden fans alongside Josh Miller, Josh Thompson and Matt Dragstrem. All proceeds from “Be A Light” are being donated to the MusiCares COVID-19 Relief Fund.

Center Point Road is a return to Rhett’s roots and connects fans to his past, weaving together autobiographical stories with familiar sounds that have propelled his meteoric career. The album has spawned three No. 1 hits, bringing the Georgia native’s No. 1 tally at country radio to 15. Rhett earned his second CMA Triple Play award for penning three No. 1 songs within a 12-month period this year and was named country radio’s most played artist of 2018, adding to his collection of trophies from the Country Music Association, Academy of Country Music, Billboard Music Awards, CMT Music Awards and more.
