by Jim Casey | @TheJimCasey | July 10, 2018

After doubling up with a dual No. 1 single, “Tequila,” and No. 1 self-titled album last week, Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney of duo Dan + Shay have doubled up again.

For the second week in a row, “Tequila” is the No. 1 song on both the Billboard Country Airplay chart and Mediabase chart, securing the duo their first multi-week No. 1 single.

“Well this is pretty amazing,” said Dan. “This multiple-week number one is a first for us and our team, and we could not be more excited to celebrate it with so many people we love. Thank you to country radio and our fans for changing our world with this song.”

“Tequila” is the duo’s fourth No. 1 single, following previous chart-toppers “Nothin’ Like You,” “From the Ground Up” and “How Not To.”

The duo’s self-titled album debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart with more than 200,000 equivalent units sold and more than 250 million cumulative streams.
