Quickly recognized as a career-changing release for Wallen, \u201c7 Summers\u201d was only the fifth song to start at the summit of Billboard\u2019s Hot Country Songs chart in the history of the chart since its inception in 1958, and the first to do so since 2017. With the release of \u201c7 Summers\u201d Wallen topped both the Country Streaming Songs and Country Digital Songs Sales charts as well and saw his debut LP\u00a0IF I KNOW ME<\/u><\/i><\/a>\u00a0return to the top of Billboard\u2019s Top Country Albums chart. Wallen was the first artist to hold these four chart-topping spots simultaneously since Luke Combs with \u201cBeautiful Crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n Today, Wallen, who recently took home a win in the\u00a0Best New Country Artis<\/i>t at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, will make his acting debut in the official video for his summer smash \u201c7 Summers.\u201d Directed by Justin Clough<\/strong> and shot in Nashville, TN, the cinematic eight-minute short film depicts the song’s “nostalgic look back at a lost love” (Rolling Stone<\/i>), reviving what happened “seven summers ago” on-screen. It is anticipated that the video will become an instant fan favourite.<\/p>\n WATCH THE CINEMATIC \u201c7 SUMMERS\u201d MUSIC VIDEO\u00a0<\/strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Last week the award-winning artist spoke to Bobby Bones<\/strong> for the highly-regarded Bobbycast, speaking directly about his life \u2014 his quick climb to the top of the charts, becoming a father and how he plans to move forward into 2021.
