Parmalee claims a fourth week at No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart as “Cowgirl” saddles up atop the ranking dated Jan. 10. The single surged 21% to 32.2 million audience impressions in the Dec. 26-Jan. 1 tracking week, according to Luminate (with all songs on the chart up at least 10% as holiday music departed stations’ playlists).

Extended No. 1 runs at radio by country groups are uncommon and “Cowgirl” now stands among the upper echelon of them. The song is the longest-running No. 1 by a group of three or more members in nearly 14 years, since Zac Brown Band’s “Keep Me in Mind” (four weeks, 2011-12). Prior to that, Lady A led for five weeks with “Need You Now” in 2009.

Since Country Airplay launched in 1990, “Cowgirl” ties for the fifth-longest No. 1 run among groups. Here’s a closer look at the longest-leading hits by groups in lead roles:

“Amazed,” Lonestar, 1999, eight weeks “I’m Already There,” Lonestar, 2001, six weeks “Need You Now,” Lady A, 2009, five weeks “Bless the Broken Road,” Rascal Flatts, 2005, five weeks “Cowgirl,” Parmalee, 2025-26, four weeks “Keep Me in Mind,” Zac Brown Band, 2011-12, four weeks “What Hurts the Most,” Rascal Flatts, 2006, four weeks “What About Now,” Lonestar, 2000, four weeks “Wide Open Spaces,” 1998, four weeks “Jukebox in My Mind,” Alabama, 1990, four weeks

(Including featured billings, Sons of the Desert join the list, via Lee Ann Womack’s five-week No. 1 “I Hope You Dance” in 2000.)

Meanwhile, Brooks & Dunn continue to set the bar among duos. Of the 11 multiweek Country Airplay leaders by pairs, the act accounts for eight. Florida Georgia Line adds two titles, while Big & Rich contribute the remaining entry:

“Ain’t Nothing ’Bout You,” Brooks & Dunn, 2001, six weeks “Stay,” Florida Georgia Line, 2014, four weeks “Boot Scootin’ Boogie,” Brooks & Dunn, 1992, four weeks “Cruise,” Florida Georgia Line, 2012, three weeks “How Long Gone,” Brooks & Dunn, 1998, three weeks “My Maria,” Brooks & Dunn, 1996, three weeks “Lost in This Moment,” Big & Rich, 2007, two weeks “If You See Him/If You See Her,” Brooks & Dunn, with Reba McEntire, 1998, two weeks “Neon Moon,” Brooks & Dunn, 1992, two weeks “My Next Broken Heart,” Brooks & Dunn, 1991, two weeks “Brand New Man,” Brooks & Dunn, 1991, two weeks

Among all the Country Airplay chart’s 979 No. 1s historically, Nate Smith’s “World on Fire” (2023-24) and Morgan Wallen’s “You Proof” (2022-23) lead with 10 weeks each in charge.

Taken together, the rankings underscore how rare sustained radio dominance remains for country groups and duos alike, and how Parmalee’s latest now stands firmly among the format’s most durable modern hits.
