Nate Smith Sets the ‘World on Fire’ With Second-Longest Reign Atop Country Airplay
“My mind is absolutely blown,” Smith says, as the song adds an eighth week at No. 1.
Nate Smith ’s “World on Fire” tops Billboard ’s Country Airplay chart for an eighth total and consecutive week. The song — released on Arista Nashville/RCA Nashville, and which Smith co-wrote with Ashley Gorley, Taylor Phillips and Lindsay Rimes, the lattermost of whom solely produced it — ties three titles for the second-longest rule since Country Airplay began in January 1990: Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” (beginning in May 2023), Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett’s “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere” (August 2003) and Lonestar’s “Amazed” (July 1999). Like Luke Combs’ ‘Fast Car,’ it’s a song that listeners love and haven’t gotten tired of.”
