Chart Rewind: In 1974, Waylon Jennings Hit No. 1 for the First ‘Time’

Waylon Jennings' "This Time" earned him his first Hot Country Songs chart-topper. Here's the chart rewind to 1974.

With “This Time,” which Jennings solely wrote, he achieved his first of 16 Hot Country Songs leaders (with his 31st entry on the chart). His storied career comprised an on-air stint at KLLL Lubbock, Texas, and his famed run as the balladeer on CBS’ The Dukes of Hazzard in 1979-85. His rebel ways were one of the most talked about elements in the recently released Netflix documentary The Greatest Night in Pop, which chronicles his walking out of the recording of USA for Africa’s megahit, and four-week 1985 Billboard Hot 100 No.
