Frankie Ballard achieved his first career number one when he reached the peak position on Country Airplay with " Helluva Life", and went on to gain his second number one on the same chart later in the year with " Sunshine & Whiskey". Singer Cole Swindell reached the top of the Hot Country Songs listing with his debut single, " Chillin' It". Several acts gained their first number ones during 2014, including Sam Hunt, whose " Leave the Night On" topped both charts in the same week in November. Blake Shelton had the most chart-toppers on the airplay listing, reaching the top spot with " Doin' What She Likes", " Neon Light" and " My Eyes". Bryan and Florida Georgia Line were both associated with bro-country, an emerging subgenre which incorporated elements from hip hop music and emphasized lyrics about partying, drinking, and attractive young women. This figure included a run of four consecutive weeks with "Play It Again", which tied with Florida Georgia Line's " Stay" for the longest unbroken run at the top of the radio-based chart during 2014. Bryan also spent the most weeks at number one on the Country Airplay listing, but with a much smaller total of seven weeks. No other act had more than one number one during the year. Bryan and Florida Georgia Line were the acts with the most number ones during 2014, as each act had two chart-toppers in addition to their collaboration on "This Is How We Roll". His songs " Drink a Beer" and " Play It Again" totaled 14 weeks atop the chart and he spent a further 6 weeks in the top spot as a featured vocalist on Florida Georgia Line's chart-topper " This Is How We Roll" for a total of 20 weeks at number one. Luke Bryan spent the most total weeks at number one during the year, however. Jason Aldean had the longest unbroken run at number one on the Hot Country Songs, spending 14 consecutive weeks in the top spot with " Burnin' It Down". In 2014, 13 different songs topped the Hot Country Songs chart and 35 different songs topped Country Airplay in 52 issues of the magazine. Country Airplay, which was published for the first time in 2012, is based solely on country radio airplay, a methodology which had previously been used for several decades for Hot Country Songs. Hot Country Songs ranks songs based on digital downloads, streaming, and airplay not only from country stations but from stations of all formats, a methodology introduced in 2012. Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay are charts that rank the top-performing country music songs in the United States, published by Billboard magazine. Maddie & Tae achieved their first number-one single when they topped the Country Airplay chart with " Girl in a Country Song", a response to the prevalent bro-country style.
