TMZ's Yellow Bikini Mystery: Which Country Star?

TMZ posted a guessing game with clues: a record-breaking Billboard Hot 100 hit and a sophomore album called 'Dandelion'.

It's a Monday morning engagement play. TMZ published a gallery asking readers to identify a country singer based on two facts: the artist holds the record for the longest-running song on the Billboard Hot 100, and is currently on tour after releasing a sophomore album titled "Dandelion."

The outlet did not name the singer in the teaser, instead directing readers to a gallery where the star is shown in a yellow bikini. The guessing-game format is a familiar trick to drive clicks and comments.

The clues narrow the field considerably. A record-setting Billboard Hot 100 run and a second album called "Dandelion" point to one of the biggest names in country music. TMZ's readers are now left to match the bikini to the chart-topper.
