Nashville, TN (July 9, 2014) – Last night (7/8),
Florida Georgia Line performed their brand new single “Dirt” on NBC’s
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Watch via:
http://www.nbc.com/the-tonight-show/segments/7946. Released to rave reviews, including
USA Today’s “Song
of the Week,” the intensely emotional track catapulted to #1 on
both the iTunes all genre and Country charts in in less than 12 hours
with sales of over 65,000 already in the US. The latest offering also
ascended to the top on iTunes in Canada and Australia shortly after
release.
“Dirt” is the lead single from the
superstar duo’s sophomore album on Republic Nashville, produced by Joey
Moi. Watch the official music video
here. The new project is slated for release this fall and is the follow-up to their 2X Platinum debut
HERE’S TO THE GOOD TIMES, which has tallied over 15 million tracks sold worldwide.
Inspired by the song lyrics, FGL
has launched the Dirt Campaign with fundraising platform Omaze to
benefit Habitat for Humanity, a global nonprofit which creates
affordable housing in partnership with low-income families. To learn

Previously taking home ACA, AMA, ACM, Billboard, CMA and CMT Music Awards, FGL scored a TEEN CHOICE Awards nomination for
Choice Country Group. Fans ages 13-19 can vote once a day via
teenchoiceawards.com, with results airing August 10 at 8P ET on FOX.
FGL has skyrocketed since releasing
four consecutive, multi-week #1 smashes in the US and Canada with the
PLATINUM-certified hits “Stay,” “Get Your Shine On,” “Round Here” and 7X
PLATINUM “Cruise,” making them the only artist in history to join
Brooks & Dunn in achieving this accolade. Breaking the record for
longest #1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs Chart, “Cruise” has
sold over 7 million downloads and is the best-selling digital Country
single of all time (SoundScan).
FGL is currently on the road as direct support for Jason Aldean’s BURN IT DOWN Tour and this November will host
“This is How We Cruise” aboard the
Norwegian Pearl.
