The Billboard Hot 100 chart dated 28 October 2026 places Stella Lefty's 'Boston' at No. 6 and Morgan Wallen's 'Been By Now' at No. 7, so a song ranked six or seven overall existed on the claim date.

This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

What was said

… Remember, you don't need to add cream and sugar, like drinking a fine champagne, the champagne of coffee. Warpath Taj Gill, former gunman, now barista in charge. May God bless America. This song is, ah, what got number two in country. It's number six or seven on Billboard overall, in front of Ella Langley, the great song about Texas, of course. Hers have been up there for a year. We've been up there for a week. However, not too shabby. It's a fantastic song. We'll let you take it out. We're back here 10 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time tomorrow morning. Stick around.

What we found

Supports. The Official Charts listing of the Billboard Hot 100 for 28 October 2026 shows 'Boston' by Stella Lefty at No. 6 and 'Been By Now' by Morgan Wallen at No. 7.[1]

Supports. The Billboard Top 10 countdown for the week dated Oct. 31, 2026 likewise lists 'Boston' at No. 6 and 'Been By Now' at No. 7, consistent with the prior week's positions.[2]

Contradicts. 'Choosin' Texas' by Ella Langley held the No. 1 spot on the 28 October 2026 chart, so the host's remark that his song is ahead of her is not borne out; this comparison was dropped from the extracted claim.[1][2]

Context. The passage never names the song the host meant, so the sources can only show that two songs held ranks six and seven that week, not which one was the host's.[1]
