Justin Moore’s single ‘Time’s Ticking’ has made history by becoming the song with the longest ascent to No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart. The song debuted 67 weeks ago and finally reached the top spot on the chart dated April 11, 2026. This achievement marks Moore’s 11th chart-topper and his first since ‘With a Woman You Love’ in September 2022.
‘Time’s Ticking’ is not the only song to take its time reaching No. 1, as 15 other songs have taken at least a year to hit the top spot since the chart’s inception. Interestingly, all of these songs have been since 2020. The list of songs that have taken more than a year to reach No. 1 is a testament to the changing landscape of country music and the patience required for a song to gain traction and reach the top of the charts.
