Congrats are in order for Dan + Shay — their new album just went No. 1 on the Billboard Country Albums Chart!
“We felt this was the perfect project to make a self-titled record,” said Shay Mooney. “This album represents who we are and where we’re going. We’re so proud of every song and can’t wait to see where it takes us. It takes an army to have a successful release. I’m so thankful to our team for letting us make the album we wanted, and I’m thankful to my partner in crime, Dan Smyers, for making the record we needed. The biggest thank you goes to our fans – we couldn’t make music with no one to listen to it. We love you all and we hope you love this record as much as we do.”
Added Dan Smyers, “Years and years of work went into the making of ‘Dan + Shay,’ and to see such a gigantic fan response to the release has been our most fulfilling career experience to date. It’s unbelievable that ‘Tequila’ has simultaneously provided us yet another milestone. We’re so thankful for the support country radio has shown us since the beginning and, still to this day, there is no better feeling than seeing one of our songs sitting at No. 1 on the chart. Luckily, with a song title like ‘Tequila,’ the celebratory drink of choice has chosen itself!”
In just it’s first week on the market, Dan + Shay accumulated more than 200,000 album equivalents and 200,000,000 streams along the way, with “Tequila” being their fourth No. 1 single as it sits atop both the Billboard Country Airplay and Mediabase / Country Aircheck charts.
