Texas country favorite Cody Johnson has another career milestone to celebrate. His latest single, “Take Me Back (Leave Me There),” debuted at No. 47 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking Johnson’s 10th career appearance on Billboard’s all-genre singles chart. The Huntsville-area native continues to prove that a sound rooted in traditional country music can connect with audiences far beyond the country charts.
It’s another impressive chapter in a career Johnson built the Texas way — years of touring, growing a fiercely loyal fanbase and packing venues long before Nashville fully caught on. From Texas dance halls and rodeo stages to sold-out arenas and national chart success, CoJo has stayed remarkably close to the traditional country sound that first made him a favorite here at home. His latest Billboard milestone shows that formula is still working, and Texas country continues to have a pretty loud voice on the national stage.
And you can hear “Take Me Back (Leave Me There)” on your Hometown Radio Station 101.7 KSAM!
