Jake Owen scored the eighth No. 1 single of his career as “Homemade” reached the top of both the Billboard Country Airplay chart and Mediabase chart this week.

“Wow. Just woke up to a bunch of texts congratulating me on ‘Homemade’ going #1!” said Jake via Twitter. “My 8th #1 single. I am blown away and forever grateful to country radio for giving me the most amazing ride over the last 10 years. I’m just getting started. Thanks to my @BigLoud team and friends.”

“Homemade” is featured on Jake’s 2019 album, Greetings . . . From Jake, and follows the album’s previous Top 10 single, “Down to the Honkytonk,” and No. 1 lead single, “I Was Jack (You Were Diane).”
