Tim McGraw’s strong career history of connectivity with country radio
continues on an amazing course of record breaking stats with the
announcement today from Curb Records that his debut single “Better Than I
Used To Be” from McGraw’s latest studio album Emotional Traffic has
just been certified gold by RIAA.
Gold certification of the latest single follows McGraw’s most recent
previous gold tracking earlier this year with “Felt Good On My Lips”,
which topped Billboard’s Hot Country Songs charts for three weeks and
set a new industry record. With a cumulative of 69 weeks at #1 over the
course of 32 chart topping single releases, Felt Good On My Lips found
McGraw garnering the record as the artist with the most weeks at #1 on
the Hot Country Songs chart since the chart was established on the
Nielsen BDS system in January of 1990.
