Amid his major North American headlining tour, country star Josh Ross has claimed his first No. 1 hit on the Billboard Country Airplay chart. The milestone has elicited an excited response from the up-and-coming star's rapidly growing fan base.
Ross's hit track, "Hate How You Look," claimed the top spot after passing Ella Langley's single "Be Her," which had dominated the No. 1 position for four consecutive weeks. Before this achievement, Ross's highest-charting single was "Single Again," which peaked at No. 2 on the Country Airplay tally last summer.

Ross got his start in the country music space in 2019 after retiring from his college football career. The 30-year-old musician released his debut EP Do What You Love in 2020, garnering his first bits of mainstream attention with his 2021 single "First Taste of Gone." Last fall, Ross released his first full-length studio album, Later Tonight, which further established him as a force to be reckoned with in the modern country landscape.
His chart-topping hit "Hate How You Look"—co-written by Nicolas Sainato, Chris McKenna, Jessica Farren and Christian Yancey—was initially dropped on April 18, 2025. Following the eventual arrival of Later Tonight, the track saw a massive uptick in listener demand. Today, the song is one of Ross's most successful releases on Spotify, racking up an impressive 30.8 million streams.
In February, the country star launched a major headlining trek dubbed the Later Tonight Tour. The run traveled throughout North America, highlighting the songs from his debut full-length project. After his headlining trek wraps up in August, the star is set to join country duo Dan + Shay as support for their fall run, dubbed The Young Tour.
Tickets for Ross's upcoming shows can be purchased through his official website.
