The List for Thursday, September 16th 2021

Welcome to The List,

We start today with a message to YOU the fans, from Thomas Rhett  “Just wanted to say thank you very much for my 18th number #1 single at country radio. “Country Again” is the number #1 song in the country this week. And Me and Lennon are celebrating by watching ‘Moana’. So thank you to everyone, thank you to Country radio to everyone that’s ever streamed the song or downloaded it or told a friend about it. One of my favorites. I wrote this in my basement in the dead center of 2020 and never imagined that it would be the number 1 song in the country. So thank yall! Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything, for all the support.” Thomas wrote “Country Again” in his basement in the middle of the COVID lockdowns.
