Bailey Zimmerman and Luke Combs’ ‘Backup Plan’ has done it again. The duo's determined bop has lived up to its message, nabbing another week at No. 1 atop the UK Country Radio Airplay Chart.

During the frame dated July 11 - July 17, 'Backup Plan' amassed a total of 1.25 million impressions across 120 plays. This marks the duet's fourth nonconsecutive week at the top of the radio ranking, having spent a total of 11 weeks on the chart.

The inspirational number is set to appear on Zimmerman's highly anticipated new album, Different Night, Same Rodeo, which arrives on Aug. 8.

Positions have shifted slightly over the last week but not by much. According to the frame, Russell Dickerson's 'Happen To Me' is still flirting with the top spot, coming in at No. 2. Jelly Roll's 'Heart of Stone' has been hanging around in the Top 5 for a while now, this week cresting at No. 3. 'Bloodline', Jelly's recent duet with Alex Warren, is also holding its own at No. 4, with Tucker Wetmore's '3,2,1' rounding out the Top 5.

This week saw some impressive moves from several songs, but the biggest push came from Morgan Wallen's 'I Got Better'. The song – quite literally –leapt from last week's position at No. 225 into the No. 19 spot, seeing a more than 3,000 percent increase in plays and impressions.

There are also a handful of new additions to the radio chart's top rankings, with Miranda Lambert and Chris Stapleton's 'A Song To Sing' (No. 24), Chris Young's 'I Didn't Come Here To Leave' (No. 49) and A Thousand Horses' 'Highway Sound' (No. 50) all entering the Top 50.
