Eli Young Band scored its fourth No. 1 single as âLove Ainâtâ ascended to the top of both the Billboard Country Airplay chart and Mediabase chart this week.
The emotionally charged tune, which was penned by Ross Copperman, Ashley Gorley, and Shane McAnally, is the bandâs first No. 1 single since âDrunk Last Nightâ topped the charts more than five years ago in December 2013.
âGetting back here to the top again is a blessing that both country music fans and country radio have given us,â says EYBâs frontman Mike Eli. âWe do not take this for granted. Itâs a blessing that carries on to our families and our teams that have been behind us every single step of the way. We humbly thank you all for making this happen for us.â
The video for âLove Ainâtâ follows the love story of Taylor Morrisâan explosive ordnance disposal technician with the Navy who became a quadruple amputee after an explosion in Afghanistan in 2012âand his girlfriend of more than a decade, Danielle, who remained by Taylorâs side. The inspiring clip, which has more than 6 million views on YouTube, features personal videos of Taylorâs rehab, his 2013 homecoming in Cedar Falls, Iowa, and marriage to Danielle.
