Zach John King is holding No. 4 on Country Road Entertainment’s Rising 25 for Week 13, while “Get To Drinkin’” also sits at No. 4 on the November 6, 2026 MusicRow Country Breakout Radio Chart.
For CRE readers following his rise, the matching positions put a familiar name in two different spotlights: our emerging-artist editorial chart and MusicRow’s country radio ranking.
Zach John King Holds No. 4 on CRE’s Rising 25
On the November 3 Week 13 edition of the CRE Rising 25, King remains in fourth place. Greylan James leads the chart, followed by BELLES and Elizabeth Nichols, with Emily Ann Roberts rounding out the top five.
The Rising 25 tracks emerging country artists through CRE’s editorial assessment of music and audience signals, live activity and industry recognition. It is an artist ranking, so King’s placement reflects the broader story around his career rather than the performance of one single alone.

“Get To Drinkin’” Holds Its MusicRow Position
MusicRow’s November 6 Country Breakout Radio Chart lists “Get To Drinkin’” at No. 4 for a second consecutive chart week. The song records 1,955 spins across 52 reports, a gain of 178 spins from the previous chart. King’s position holds even as the reported airplay total grows.
That distinction matters. This is a sustained top-five showing with additional radio activity, rather than a newly achieved No. 4 peak in this particular issue. The dated chart provides a clear snapshot of where the single stood heading into the weekend.
The two rankings should also be read on their own terms. CRE’s Rising 25 is an editorial emerging-artist chart; MusicRow’s Country Breakout Radio Chart ranks songs using its reporting radio panel. Matching numbers do not make the charts interchangeable, but they give fans two useful ways to follow King’s momentum.
The Song Behind the Radio Run
Released February 6, 2026 through Sony Music Nashville, “Get To Drinkin’” was written by King with Rhett Akins, Kyle Sturrock, Thomas Archer and Kyle Fishman. Its story follows a narrator whose confidence that he has moved on from an old relationship slips away when alcohol brings the memories back.
The premise places an unreliable memory at the center of a familiar country subject. The narrator is not simply missing somebody; he is letting the good moments crowd out the reasons the relationship ended. That emotional contradiction gives listeners something to recognize beyond the title.
A Bigger Introduction on I’m What You Get
King released his debut album, I’m What You Get, on August 28, 2026. The 20-track project was co-produced by King and Ryan Wilson. Alongside “Get To Drinkin’,” it includes “Way To Go” featuring Brooks & Dunn, “Choppin Wood” featuring Brent Cobb and “Life Behind Bars” featuring Bayker Blankenship.
For someone arriving through the radio single, the album offers a broader listening path: different collaborations, more songwriting and a fuller introduction to the artist behind one recognizable track. A chart position captures a week; a full record gives a listener the chance to decide what keeps them coming back.
