Tim McGraw is definitely enjoying a thriving career! The country singer actually just brought his recent single, “Standing Room Only,” to No. 1. 

The song was released on March 10, 2023, as the first single out of the album of the same name. It finally reached the top spot of country radio charts during the third week of November 2023, giving McGraw his 47th No. 1 hit! 

However, good things for the singer didn’t just end there. McGraw also made history by having the longest duration between his first No. 1 and his latest. Now, with a remarkable 29 years and six months, he has exceeded the record previously held by George Strait – the man being hailed today as the King Of Country Music.

The Grammy Award-winning superstar then took to social media to express gratitude. “I can’t believe it, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude!! Thank you to Country Radio and everyone listening,” McGraw noted.
