Warren Zeiders first entry into Advertising signCountry Airplay's “Pretty Little Poison” tops the chart dated March 2. The single advanced 15% to 33.1 million audience impressions during the February 16-22 tracking week, according to Luminate.
The song is the first reigning Country Airplay hit since Nate Smith's “Whiskey on You” in February 2023.
“I'm so honored to have my first No. 1 at country radio,” says Zeiders Advertising sign. “I'm just a dude from Pennsylvania who started singing in his childhood bedroom. I never thought I'd have a song on country radio, let alone be No. 1 just a few years into making music. I put everything I had into this song and I will never be able to thank my fans, my team and my country radio enough for its success. This is my first No. 1… Oh my God, it's not my last.”
Zeiders, 24, initially gained traction by posting covers on TikTok, where he has 2.6 million followers. He co-wrote his new lead with Ryan Beaver and Jared Keim. Ross Copperman produced it. The song is the title cut from his LP that peaked at No. 12 on Top Country Albums last September.
Meanwhile, “Pretty Little Poison” breaks Smith's “World on Fire” Country Airplay record of 10 weeks.
“Bar” enters the Top 10
Morgan Wallen's “Man Made a Bar,” featuring Eric Church, climbs into the Country Airplay top 10 (12-9, 18 million, up 9%). Wallen earns his 14th top 10 – and one of two on the final list: Thomas Rhett's “Mamaw's House,” in which he has appeared, goes 8-6 (23.5 million, up 6%).
It marks Church's 18th Country Airplay top 10 and his first since “Heart on Fire,” which reached No. 5 in April 2022.
Top 40 “Texas”
Beyoncé makes her first appearance on Country Airplay's top 40 as “Texas Hold'Em” jumps 54-34 (2.8 million chart audience, up 156%) in its second week. The single became the superstar's first chart entry, as well as her historic first No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs poll.
The track also jumps 38-25 on Pop Airplay and debuts on Adult Pop Airplay (No. 28), Adult R&B Airplay (No. 28), Rhythmic Airplay (No. 36), R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay ( No. 36) and Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay (No. 40).
