SAM HUNT TEARS UP
THE "ROAD"

You'll recall that Sam Hunt's "Body Like a Back Road" topped our recent chart of country streaming songs. Well, it looks like the MCA Nashville star's rollicking new hit has out-streamed every other country tune ever, racking up more than 9.2 million streams (video included) per week.

The tune, which Hunt co-penned with Nashville luminaries Zach Crowell, Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne, is also Top 5 at iTunes and jumps #19-14 on the Mediabase building Country chart.

Ol' Sam has added a Madison Square Garden date (9/14) to his forthcoming, Live Nation-presented 15 in a 30 Tour, tickets for which go on sale Friday (3/10). Maren Morris, Chris Janson and Ryan Follese will be the tour's special guests.

In other news, some of us have a body that was once like a back road but is now avoided via a lengthy detour.
