Justin Moore is back at the top of the country charts.

The Arkansas native‘s emotional hit single, “The Ones That Didn’t Make It Back Home,” sits atop both the Mediabase Country Aircheck Chart and Billboard Country Chart, marking the eighth No.1 single of Moore’s career.

“I’m so very thankful for Country radio, my team, and the fans,” Moore shared in a press release. “Thank you so much for your talents and tireless work on my behalf. I feel so blessed for this song to have been given this platform and this never gets old. You guys are the best. Cheers!”

“The Ones That Didn’t Make It Back Home” is the lead single from Moore’s newest album, Late Nights and Longnecks. The song, which serves as a tribute to the military, is one the singer/songwriter is extremely proud of.

“I’ve said this a number of times. I hope it’s a hit. I think it’s a hit,” he previously shared. “It feels good to me, and that’s great, but to have a song like that that can have a positive impact on people’s life is even more special.”
