Wallen’s smash, which has actually been at the top of the Hot 100 for a total of 16 weeks since its release in February, is the first country song to be named Song of the Summer since 1974.
That year, the list was topped by John Denver’s “Annie’s Song”.
“Last Night” was followed on the Songs of the Summer chart by Luke Combs’ cover of Tracy Chapman’s classic “Fast Car”.
It’s the first time ever that two country hits landed atop the Songs of the Summer list, which is made up each year of 20 songs.
