Justin Moore and Dierks Bentley have landed at No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart with Time’s Ticking, capping one of the longest runs to the top the format has seen. The chart dated April 11, 2026, shows the song reaching the summit after 67 weeks on the list.
Billboard’s latest chart update places the song in rare company, largely because country radio hits usually complete their climb in much less time. Instead, Time’s Ticking stayed in rotation week after week, building enough support to outlast the normal radio cycle and finally break through more than a year after its debut.
The result gives Moore another career chart leader and marks a notable milestone for the song itself. It also reflects a familiar pattern in country radio, where not every hit arrives with immediate momentum. Some tracks connect quickly, while others grow through steady exposure and continued listener support.
For Time’s Ticking, that slow and consistent rise ended with a No. 1 finish and a new place in country radio history.
