NASHVILLE, TN (January 7, 2015) – Superstar duo Florida Georgia Line proved to be unstoppable in 2014 so it’s no surprise that the top-selling duo leads Forbes Magazine’s prestigious “30 under 30”
music class of 2015. The influential brand took notice of their
mega-success, proclaiming that FGL’s Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley,
“embody what it means to be on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list in the music
category: a blend of country, rock, electronic, hip-hop and pop—with a
shot of disruptive entrepreneurialism.” Music critics and fans alike
have embraced their fresh sound, catapulting FGL’s GOLD-certified
sophomore album ANYTHING GOES (Republic Nashville) to a #1 debut on the all-genre Billboard 200 and Billboard Top
Country Albums charts upon release. Continuing the momentum with their
latest Top 10-and-climbing single “Sun Daze” and PLATINUM, #1 smash
“Dirt,” FGL racked up 13 industry awards throughout 2014 and kicked off
2015 with a bang – an epic, live performance on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.
