Before the CMA Awards on Nov. 3, Cole Swindell told Nash Country Daily that he wasnât ready to see his streak of consecutive No. 1 singles come to an end.
âIâm not ready to see my streak end at five,â said Cole with a laugh. âHaving a sixth single, in general, is insane to me. For it to go No. 1 takes a lot of support, from my label to radio to my fans. So weâll see if it does. It feels like people are behind me and believe in me and thatâs motivating for me to give you the best possible music.â
Cole can breathe a sigh of relief, because his sixth single, âMiddle of a Memoryâ reached No. 1 on Billboardâs Country Airplay chart last week, making it his sixth consecutive single to reach No. 1 on a Billboard or Mediabase chart after âChillinâ It,â âHope You Get Lonely Tonight,â âAinât Worth the Whiskey,â âLet Me See Ya Girlâ and âYou Should Be Here.â The tune is also Coleâs ninth No. 1 as a songwriter, following âThis Is How We Rollâ (Florida Georgia Line), âGet Me Some of Thatâ (Thomas Rhett) and âRoller Coasterâ (Luke Bryan).
âThanks to my team at Warner for my sixth No. 1 in a row,â said Cole after he received the news. âCountry radio, you have been so good to me and a huge part of why I get to hear fans singing songs like âMiddle of a Memoryâ back to me every night. Letâs celebrate!â
