Plus, Bailey Zimmerman rolls to the top 10.

Josh Ross achieves his first Billboard Country Airplay No. 1 as “Hate How You Look” rises a spot in its 40th week on the chart dated July 4. The song drew 32.7 million audience impressions (up 4%) June 19-25, according to Luminate.

Written by Jessica Farren, Chris McKenna, Nicholas Sainato and Christian Yancey, the track assumes the lead from Ella Langley’s “Be Her,” which descends to No. 3 after a four-week run at the summit.
