Thomas Rhett scored his 16th No. 1 single as âBe a Lightâ topped the Mediabase chart this week.
TR teamed with Reba McEntire, Lady Aâs Hillary Scott, Chris Tomlin and Keith Urban to record the bright new tune in March. Thomas Rhett co-penned the song with Josh Miller, Josh Thompson and Matt Dragstrem. TR and the songâs collaborators have been donating all proceeds from âBe A Lightâ to the MusiCares COVID-19 Relief Fund, which was created by The Recording Academy to help people in the music industry affected by the coronavirus disease outbreak and subsequent cancellation of music events.
âIâm completely blown away and humbled by the support of âBe A Lightâ from the fans, country radio and the entire industry,â Thomas Rhett said. âWhen we decided to release this song in March, it was the best way I knew how to share what was on my heart, and Iâm feeling so hopeful and encouraged to see so many of you inspired to take action because of it in your own communities. Thank yâall for coming together like this!â
âBe a Lightâ is nominated for Musical Event of the Year at the upcoming CMA Awards on Nov. 11.
