The track topped Hot Country Songs for five weeks (before being dethroned this week by Wallen&#8217;s &#8220;Summers&#8221;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reaching the top 10 in its 34th week on the Hot 100, &#8220;Hope&#8221; completes the third-longest trip to the tier, after 2005&nbsp;<em>Idol<\/em>&nbsp;champ Carrie Underwood&#8217;s &#8220;Before He Cheats,&#8221; which hit the top 10 in its 38th week in 2007, and Creed&#8217;s &#8220;Higher&#8221; (36 weeks, 2000).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barrett is also the first woman to hit the Hot 100&#8217;s top 10 with a song unaccompanied by any other artists that also charted on Hot Country Songs since October 2012, when Taylor Swift&#8217;s &#8220;Red&#8221; debuted at its No. 6 peak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, with &#8220;Hope&#8221; marking Barrett&#8217;s first Hot Country Songs and Hot 100 entry, she joins an exclusive group of women who have topped the former and reached the latter&#8217;s top 10 with their first solo singles. Jeannie C. Riley initiated the club with &#8220;Harper Valley P.T.A.,&#8221; a No. 1 on both charts in 1968, while Marie Osmond (&#8220;Paper Roses,&#8221; No. 5 on the Hot 100 in 1973) and Jessi Colter (&#8220;I&#8217;m Not Lisa,&#8221; No. 4, 1975) also topped Hot Country Songs and hit the Hot 100&#8217;s top 10 in their first solo appearances on each ranking. Barrett is, thus, the first woman to earn the honor in over 45 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Hope&#8221; lifts 9-8 on Radio Songs (52.4 million, up 8%); holds at No. 9 on Digital Song Sales (8,000, essentially even week-over-week); and pushes 28-27 on Streaming Songs (11.7 million, up 8%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The song led the Country Airplay chart dated April 25 and has crossed to pop radio. It holds at its No. 10 best on the Adult Contemporary survey; enters the Adult Pop Songs top 10 (11-8); and advances 12-11 on Pop Songs. Aiding its profile and pop radio support, a remix with Charlie Puth was released in April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With &#8220;Hope&#8221; marking Barrett&#8217;s first Country Airplay entry, she&#8217;s the first woman to have led that list with an initial entry, unaccompanied by other acts, that went on to hit the Hot 100&#8217;s top 10, dating to the Country Airplay chart&#8217;s 1990 inception. She&#8217;s the first artist overall to achieve the feat since Florida Georgia Line, whose first Country Airplay hit &#8220;Cruise&#8221; ruled for three weeks in December 2012 before reaching No. 4 on the Hot 100 in June 2013. &#8220;Cruise&#8221; likewise scored pop radio airplay assisted by a remix (with Nelly).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only other such song? Billy Ray Cyrus&#8217; debut hit &#8220;Achy Breaky Heart,&#8221; which blew up for a five-week rule on Country Airplay and a No. 4 peak on the Hot 100 in 1992, also helped by pop crossover play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.
