There was nothing subtle about the way that Florida Georgia Line introduced themselves to country music fans when they released “Cruise” in 2012. With its cold intro, the song was pretty much in-your-face from the start, creating an instant reaction that had not been seen among listeners in quite some time. The charts back that statement up, as the song was No. 1 on Hot Country Songs for six months, the longest reign of all-time until Sam Hunt‘s “Body Like a Back Road” exceeded the feat.
