вЂњAm I the Only OneвЂќ hasnвЂ™t charted on BillboardвЂ™s Country Airplay chart, though thatвЂ™s largely because LewisвЂ™ label, Valory Music, hasnвЂ™t begun promoting the song to radio yet. Yet the real test of a major country song is its embrace by radio. The strong sales suggest that вЂњAm I the Only OneвЂќ connected with an audience galvanized by LewisвЂ™ message - a familiar scenario among country fans, who pushed sales of Morgan WallenвЂ™s вЂњDangerousвЂќ album to new highs following a widespread industry backlash to his use of the N-word in a video published by TMZ.

LewisвЂ™ track, which also racked up a relatively modest 4 million streams in the U.S., entered BillboardвЂ™s all-genre Hot 100 at No. 3 song on Digital Song Sales - Walker HayesвЂ™ вЂњFancy Like,вЂќ a viral hit on TikTok - by more than 150%. Indeed, вЂњAm I the Only OneвЂќ outsold the No. 2, behind BTSвЂ™ вЂњButter,вЂќ on the all-genre Digital Song Sales tally. According to the trade magazineвЂ™s tracking firm MRC Data, LewisвЂ™ single sold 58,622 downloads in its first week of availability - enough to land at No. вЂњAm I the Only OneвЂќ achieved its impressive chart showing thanks in large part to digital downloads, which Billboard measures along with streams and radio play in formulating its rankings. 'Am I the only one willing to bleed / Or take a bullet for being free?' he goes on, 'Screaming 'What the f-' at my TV.'ДЄsked what inspired вЂњAm I the Only OneвЂќ during a recent appearance on вЂњFox & Friends,вЂќ Lewis - who told the Anchorage Press last year that then-President Donald Trump's impeachment 'couldn't have been more unconstitutional in shape or form' - replied, вЂњI lived through the last year and a half вЂ¦ and I found myself on many occasions, just like all of you, sitting and scratching my head and wondering what is going on in this amazing country that we have.вЂќ (LewisвЂ™ representative didnвЂ™t immediately respond to The TimesвЂ™ interview request.) вЂњAm I the only one not brainwashed? / Making my way through the land of the lost,вЂќ he sings, вЂњWho still gives a s- and worries вЂ™bout his kids / As they try to undo all the things he did.вЂќ Elsewhere in the tune, which Lewis cowrote with Ira Dean and Jeffrey Steele, the 49-year-old singer laments flags burning and statues coming down and wonders if anyone else 'quits singing along every time they play a Springsteen song.вЂќ
