Tim McGraw and Taylor Swift achieve their 26th and seventh Billboard Country Airplay No. 1s, respectively, as “Highway Don’t Care” winds 2-1. For McGraw, “Highway” follows “One of Those Nights,” which led for three weeks in March, marking his first set of straight two No. 1s since he scored four in a row in 2003-04. "Highway" is Swift’s first Country Airplay chart-topper since “Ours” crowned the chart dated March 31, 2012. And, of course, the coronation places the duo (along with Keith Urban, who adds guitarwork) at No. 1 after Swift arrived with "Tim McGraw" ... in the song title field ... almost seven years ago (July 1, 2006). Her debut hit reached No. 6 in early 2007.
