Sam Hunt tops both the Country Aircheck/Mediabase and Billboard Country charts this week with his latest single, “Breaking Up Was Easy in the 90s.” He co-wrote the song, which is his career eighth Number One.
Sam tells us: [“My buddy, Josh Osborne, called me one afternoon when I was driving home from Nashville. He called me with this idea, ‘I Bet Breaking Up Was Easy in the 90s.’ He said, ‘I feel like it sounds like you.’ I said, ‘Man, I love it. Let’s write that.’ So, fast forward several months we did a little writing retreat outside town, rented a little cabin and wrote the song. It was kind of the ninth hour in terms of the second record coming out."] SOUNDCUE (:24 OC: . . . record coming out.)
"Breaking Up Was Easy In The 90s" is the fifth single from Sam's 2020 album, Southside.
