Congratulations to Tim McGraw, who charts his career 44th Number One hit this week on the Mediabase/Country Airplay chart with his latest single, “I Called Mama.” Tim shared the news on Instagram last night (Monday, Oct. 12th) writing, “Releasing and playing music has looked a little different in 2020, but I just found out #ICALLEDMAMA hit No. 1 at country radio this week!! Thanx to everyone who made this possible. I can’t thank you enough.”
Tim tells us that he really never anticipated releasing "I Called Mama" as a single, but changed his mind after listening to it shortly after the COVID quarantine began. ["It wasn't gonna be a single. In fact, I didn't think it was gonna be a single at all. I just loved the song and I wanted to cut it because of what it said, and I never really thought that much about it being a single, to tell you the truth. It just sort of kept speaking to everybody. I mean, everyone in my camp, it just sort of kept speaking to. It's almost like comfort food in a way, like emotional comfort food I guess is the best way to say it."] SOUNDCUE (:25 OC: . . . to say it.)
"I Called Mama" is the first single from Tim's new Here On Earth album, which was released in August.
