NASHVILLE, TENN.<\/strong>\u00a0(May 14, 2019) \u2014\u00a0Breakout Big Loud Records star\u00a0MORGAN WALLEN<\/strong>\u00a0is feeling the #1 buzz this week<\/strong> with his intoxicating hit \u201cWhiskey Glasses\u201d <\/strong>shooting straight to the top of Billboard\u2019s Hot Country Songs chart.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Appearing on Wallen\u2019s Top 10 album debut,\u00a0IF I KNOW ME<\/a><\/em>, the smooth burning anthem marks his\u00a0first Hot Country Songs #1<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 following the PLATINUM-certified success of hooky single \u201cUp Down\u201d (featuring Florida Georgia Line) that hit #5 on the Hot Country Songs<\/strong> chart and led the Country Airplay chart in the same week, becoming his first Country radio #1. Beyond demonstrating his rising profile with Country fans, the news is even more meaningful since the Tennessee native celebrated his 26th birthday the same day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy first #1 on the Hot Country Songs chart happened on my 26th birthday [May 13]. This is truly a day I\u2019ll never forget,\u201d Wallen<\/strong> shared with\u00a0Billboard<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, \u201cWhiskey Glasses\u201d<\/strong> is currently inside the Top 5 at Country radio<\/strong> and still climbing. Written by Ben Burgess and Kevin Kadish<\/strong>, the undeniable single comes in as the #2 current Country song in overall consumption this week, and has also garnered more than 173 million digital streams globally, helping push Wallen\u2019s <\/strong>career total over the 829 million streams mark and drive his exhilarating concerts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A blood-pumping\u00a0live video<\/a>\u00a0for the track is out now \u2013 showing off Wallen\u2019s rowdy, crowd-pleasing energy at the sold-out Nashville stop of his headlining IF I KNOW ME TOUR <\/strong>\u2013 while the\u00a0official video<\/a>for \u201cWhiskey Glasses\u201d <\/strong>has earned Wallen <\/strong>his first-ever award show nomination at the fan-voted CMT Music Awards on June 5, up for\u00a0Breakthrough Video of the Year<\/em>. Voting is open\u00a0now<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wallen has also been nominated for Breakthrough Artist of the Year<\/em> by MusicRow<\/em>Magazine<\/em> and just released a full, studio version of his critically-acclaimed cover<\/a> of Jason Isbell\u2019s \u201cCover Me Up,\u201d with major media outlets around the country getting on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m honestly still kind of amazed that this guy\u2019s real.\u201d \u2013 UPROXX<\/strong><\/em>
\u201c\u2026a certified country hitmaker.\u201d \u2014 Taste of Country<\/strong><\/em>
\u201c\u2026disarming and unapologetic.\u201d \u2014 Rolling Stone Country\ufeff<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next up for the chart-topper is an opening slot on Florida Georgia Line\u2019s massive CAN\u2019T SAY I AIN\u2019T COUNTRY TOUR,<\/strong> which kicks off June 13 in Rogers, AR. And later this year Wallen will join the sold-out fall leg of Luke Combs\u2019 BEER NEVER BROKE MY HEART TOUR, <\/strong>starting October 3 in Cape Girardeau, MO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
