Maren Morrisâ âThe Bonesâ is No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart for the 18th week, which is the longest run by a solo female artist in the history of the chart. âThe Bonesâ bested Taylor Swiftâs âWe Are Never Getting Back Together,â which ruled the chart for 10 weeks beginning in October 2012. The longest run on the chart is Bebe Rexhaâs âMeant to Be,â featuring Florida Georgia Line, which spent 50 weeks at No. 1 in 2017-2018.
Maren co-penned the tune, which is featured on her 2019 album, Girl, with Laura Veltz and Jimmy Robbins. âThe Bonesâ also spent back-to-back weeks at No. 1 on Billboardâs Country Airplay chart in February 2020.
âThe Bonesâ follows Marenâs previous No. 1 hits, âI Could Use a Love Songâ (January 2018) and âGirlâ (July 2019), as well as Thomas Rhettâs âCraving Youâ (July 2017), which featured Maren.
