Waffle House Tunie AwardsSales and chart positions are one way to measure a song’s popularity, but if you want to know just how deeply a song has penetrated the country’s consciousness, look no further than Waffle House.
Last night at the first Waffle House Tunie Awards, the list of the most popular songs played over the past 12 months on Waffle House TouchTunes Jukeboxes was revealed. The number one song was “Location” by Khalid, followed by Sam Hunt‘s “Body Like a Back Road.” Justin Timberlake’s “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” came in at #3, followed by Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You” at #4.
Other songs that made the top 10 include “Uptown Funk” by Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars, “Thinking Out Loud” by Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith‘s “Too Good at Goodbyes.”
Also at the Tunie Awards, Michael Jackson was named most-played artist of 2018 on the Waffle House jukeboxes, while Imagine Dragons won the award for most-played rock song for “Thunder.”
“That means the world to us,” Imagine Dragons drummer Dan Platzman said of the win. “This is like you basically took our hearts, and you scattered, smothered, double-covered and peppered them.”
