Sam Hunt has taken over the top of both the Billboard and Country Aircheck country charts with his latest single, “Make You Miss Me.” The song is the fourth No. 1 hit from his debut album, Montevallo; his previous chart-toppers are “Leave the Night On,” “Take Your Time” and “House Party.”

“That title just came out, out of being in a relationship with a girl with a lot of those personality traits,” says Sam. “It just sort of popped into my head one day, and I realized it was a song I needed to write, and it came together pretty quickly. It’s still one of my favorites.”

Sam wrapped up his dates on Kenny Chesney’s Spread the Love Tour over the weekend. The next dates he has will be October 19th and 20th as part of the Carnival Cruise live event in Cozumel.

Sam Hunt has been enjoying his time out on Kenny Chesney’s Spread the Love Stadium Tour, and says the Tennessee native has lived up to his reputation as a great host.

Sam reveals Kenny is a gracious and generous headliner. ““He’s been awesome so far. He’s as advertised. Everybody, before getting into this, told me how great he was as a host on a tour like this, and he’s lived up to that reputation. He’s gone above and beyond for us and offered us the same opportunities that he has as the headliner, and that’s special,” says Sam. “I appreciate that from Kenny. He’s a class act.”

Sam, who is poised to enter the top of the country charts with his single “Make You Miss Me,” has only a couple of shows left with Kenny, but he’s ready to perform at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachussetts August 26th and 27th.

Sam Hunt has cracked the Top 10 on the country charts with his latest single, “Make You Miss Me,” which  makes him the first solo male artist since Mark Chesnutt in 1991 to have songs from his debut album hit Top 10 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart.

The song, which Sam wrote with Josh Osborne, Matt Ramsey, is about a guy who wants to make himself as unforgettable to a particular girl as possible.

It’s implied that he wants to make her miss him the way that he misses her when she’s not with him,” says Sam. “The attitude of the singer is a confident one, but there’s also a vulnerability there because he really likes this girl and he misses her, so his only option is to make sure that he’s not forgettable, and he figures out a way to make her miss him.”

You can catch Sam performing “Make You Miss Me” when he makes a stop at Cheyenne Frontier Days Thursday (July 22nd) and at CenturyLink Field in Seattle, Washington on Friday (July 23rd) as part of Kenny Chesney’s 2016 Spread the Love Stadium Tour.
