Sam Hunt Breaks Country Music Record

There are few acts in music today as polarizing as Sam Hunt. Love him or not, the man just accomplished something that no other country artist has ever done.

There are few acts in music today as polarizing as Sam Hunt. Love him or not, the man just accomplished something that no other country artist has ever done.

"Body Like a Back Road" has topped the Billboard chart for 25 weeks in a row. That breaks Florida Georgia Line's record for "Cruise" back in 2012 and 2013.

Sam just played a sold out show here in Tampa last month and the irony of all this success... it sounds like he's ready to take some time off.
