The UK's Official most-streamed country songs of all time

The UK's most-streamed country song of all time has just been revealed, with Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line's Meant To Be taking the top spot.

A somewhat surprise winner, Bebe Rexha's Meant To Be featuring country duo Florida Georgia Line was first released in 2017 as part of Bebe's EP All Your Fault Pt. 2, and was her first song to lean into country influences.

At the time, it became Bebe's highest-peaking UK single as a lead artist, first entering the Official Singles Chart Top 100 in February 2018 before reaching Number 11 in the March. It did even better in her native US, getting all the way to Number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Meant To Be tops the most-streamed country songs in the UK chart with a massive total of 175 million streams.

Getting to Number 1 also means that Bebe has fended off some truly legendary country performers. Dolly Parton's 9 to 5 - a song that has stood the test of time despite never charting in the UK Top 40 - struts into second place (166 million streams), while John Denver's Take Me Home Country Roads lands in at Number 3 (154 million streams).

Of course, Taylor Swift is also present here - her swoony ballad Love Story is at Number 4, while Dolly Parton makes a second appearance to round out the Top 5, with Kenny Rogers on the classic Islands In the Stream at Number 5.

Other artists placed in the Top 10 include Lady A (formerly Lady Antebellum) with Need You Now (7), Justin Timberlake and Chris Stapleton's Say Something (8) and Carrie Underwood's fan favourite scorched earth banger, Before He Cheats (9).

Listen to BBC Radio 2's UK Country Countdown, now live on BBC Sounds and on BBC Radio 2 Sunday 10 March (midnight - 2am).
