Josh Ross earns first US Country radio number 1 with ‘Single Again’

Canadian Country star Josh Ross has achieved a career first, with his song ‘Single Again' hitting number 1 on US Country radio.

The song has topped the Mediabase Country chart after a 71-week trek. The feat makes Ross the first Canadian male to reach the chart summit in nearly 30 years. He joins Paul Brandt and Hank Snow as one of the only three Canadian men to reign atop the US Country radio charts. Ross has achieved three #1 singles at Canadian Country radio: ‘Single Again', “Ain’t Doin’ Jack”, and ‘Trouble'.

“Possibly the biggest news to date in my career – I woke up having the #1 song at U.S. country radio,” Ross shared on his socials last night. “I started coming to Nashville in 2018 with a dream of writing songs and maybe hearing some of my own on the radio one day. Today it’s the most played song in the country.”

“I can’t thank Brad Rempel and Joe Fox enough for writing this hungover idea with me,” he continued, “Matt Geroux for crushing the production, and all my team members at The Core, MCA / Mercury, UMC, The Neal Agency, Feldman Agency, Damon Moberly and his incredible promotion team, Warner Chappell Music, and many more – it takes a village. We all work so dang hard. To the fans, love y’all. This is just fuel being added to the fire.”

Adding to over 1 BILLION global career streams, the success of ‘Single Again' at country radio paves the way for a batch of fresh hits out 19th September 2025 via Ross’ full-length debut album, ‘Later Tonight‘. The 15-track collection promises to double down on the emotive, rock-tinged country that has defined Josh’s worldwide ascent.
