However, there are plenty of country songs from top artists that some listeners don’t know are covers.

Today, Billboard announced that Chris Stapleton's longstanding TouchTunes top-played song, "Tennessee Whiskey," has been pushed out of the number one spot - which is pretty incredible, considering the song is nearly 10 years old at this point and up until recently was STILL the top song on the TouchTunes.

Of course, while we all know firing up the TouchTunes after a few cold snacks can lead to killer plays (bring on all the '90s country, please), popular songs often dominate the board.
