“10,000 Hours” Tops Country Airplay, Streaming Charts for Second Week
Superstar country duo Dan + Shay are officially two-time, consecutive GRAMMY Award winners for Best Country Duo / Group Performance. Adding to its extensive list of accolades, 3x Platinum hit “Speechless” earned music’s biggest honor at last night’s ceremony. The track has more than 715 million global streams and spent four weeks atop the country airplay charts.
“This is one of the coolest moments ever,” Smyers said upon receiving the award. “This is an absolute dream come true. We have always dreamed of being up here on this stage so thank you all so much for making this happen.”
The duo won their first GRAMMY award last year in the same category for their 4x Platinum global smash “Tequila,” which they also performed live on the telecast. Both “Speechless” and “Tequila” hail from their Platinum-certified self-titled album, which spawned three No. 1 songs. Following suit, their current single “10,000 Hours” with superstar Justin Bieber tops the Aircheck / Mediabase chart as well as the Billboard Country Airplay, Hot Country Songs and Country Streaming Songs charts for the second consecutive week.
“10,000 Hours” has established itself a powerhouse in both country music and beyond. It is currently Top 10 on Top 40 and AC as well as Top 5 on Hot AC. In just under four months, the track has garnered more than 675 million global streams. It is the fastest country song in the past year to reach one million equivalents, currently sitting at 1.8 million, and has been certified Platinum in the U.S. The “stunning” (E! News) single is already certified Double Platinum in Canada and Gold in in Australia, Brazil, Ireland, New Zealand and the Netherlands.
