Jake Owen scored the seventh No. 1 single of his career as “I Was Jack (You Were Diane)” reached the top of both the Billboard Country Airplay chart and Mediabase chart this week. Jake’s new single is rooted in John Mellencamp’s iconic 1982 hit, “Jack & Diane.” In fact, Mellencamp received a songwriting credit on Jake’s “I Was Jack (You Were Diane),” along with songwriters Tommy Cecil, David Ray, Jody Stevens and Craig Wiseman. The tune is Jake’s first No. 1 single since 2016’s “American Country Love Song.”
