context_page_description: In 2013, Billboard magazine published two main charts ranking the top-performing country music songs in the United States. The Hot Country Songs chart ranked songs based on digital downloads, streaming, and airplay not only from country stations but from stations of all formats, a methodology introduced the previous year. The Country Airplay listing, which had been published for the first time in 2012, was based solely on country radio airplay, a methodology which had previously been used for several decades for Hot Country Songs.
  At the start of the year, the number one song on the Hot Country Songs listing was "Cruise" by the duo Florida Georgia Line. After falling from the top spot at the end of January, the song rebounded to the top in April, beginning a run of 19 consecutive weeks at number one. Its final total was 24 weeks at the top of the chart, breaking the record for the most cumulative weeks spent atop one of Billboard's country charts which had stood for nearly 60 years. This revival of the song's fortunes was due to the late spring release of a remix featuring a guest appearance by the rapper Nelly, which proved extremely popular on pop music radio.
