After topping the Billboard Country Airplay chart in April, Gabby Barrett’s “I Hope” has conquered the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart (streaming, sales and airplay-based) this week.

“I Hope” reached the top of the chart in its 64th week, which is the longest trek to No. 1 in the chart’s 76-year history. The tune unseated Maren Morris’ “The Bones,” which had enjoyed a 19-week reign at No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart.

Penned by Gabby, Zachary Kale and Jon Nite, “I Hope” is featured on Gabby’s recently released debut album, Goldmine.
