Ross co-authored 'Single Again' with Joe Fox and Brad Rempel, and Matt Geroux produced it. (Fellow Canadian Rempel is a member of the group High Valley, which has notched 20 top 10s on Canada Country, in 2012-24.)
Notably, 'Single Again' reaches the Country Airplay top 10 in its 60th week on the chart, wrapping the third-longest trip to the tier since the survey launched in January 1990. In April 2023, Brett Young's 'You Didn't' reached its No. 10 high in 70 weeks, while Chase Matthew's 'Love You Again' hit No. 10 in 62 frames (before peaking at No. 9).
Morgan Wallen's 'I'm the Problem' tops Country Airplay for a sixth total and consecutive week (31.7 million, down 1%). It became the third No. 1 from his album of the same name, ahead of its release May 16, following 'Love Somebody' (three weeks in February) and 'Lies Lies Lies' (one week, November). His latest single being promoted to country radio, 'Just in Case,' rises 15-13 (14.8 million, up 8%).
'I'm the Problem' is the third of Wallen's 17 Country Airplay No. 1s to reign for six frames or more, after 'You Proof,' which shares the record for most time on top (10 weeks, 2022-23), and 'Last Night' (eight weeks, 2023).
Five total cuts from I'm the Problem are scaling Country Airplay, with the title track and 'Just in Case' followed in the top 40 by 'I Ain't Coming Back,' with Post Malone (43-32; 2.9 million, up 48%). The other two debut: 'What I Want' featuring Tate McRae (No. 55; 897,000), and 'Superman' (No. 58; 846,000).
All charts dated May 31 will update Wednesday, May 28, on (one day later than usual due to the Memorial Day holiday May 26).
