Not bad for a guy who is focusing more on family these days than music.

Sam Hunt’s single “Body Like a Back Road” has claimed a new title.

The single shot to number-one on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart over six months ago, where it has remained for 25 consecutive weeks, breaking the record for most weeks atop the nearly 59-year-old chart.

It has also been in the Top 5 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart for 16 straight weeks, longer than any other song in the chart’s 25-year history.
