FLORIDA GEORGIA LINE was surprised backstage with two
landmark achievements during Big Machine Label Group’s luncheon at
Country Radio Seminar 2020 in Nashville on Friday (2/21). Pandora
honored the superstar duo with the elite BILLIONAIRE
plaque for surpassing five billion lifetime spins and named them among
the Top 10 most-spun Country acts in the music platform’s 20-year
history.
FGL was all smiles during the plaque presentation. Tyler Hubbard
exclaimed, “Now that is a lot of zeroes!” as Brian Kelley laughed and
added, “Wow. We are constantly blown away by the support from our fans
and are grateful to Pandora for sharing our music around the world. This
honor inspires us even more and we can’t wait for you to hear what’s
coming next!”
Garnering over 12 million streams per week on Pandora, FGL’s latest single “Blessings,” off GOLD-certified CAN’T SAY I AIN’T COUNTRY (BMLG Records), has also remained on its Top Spins chart for seven consecutive weeks.
FGL was first played, even before they were signed to a label deal, in
2012 on SiriusXM’s The Highway channel as a “Highway Find.” “It’s
exciting to acknowledge these great Pandora achievements for the duo,”
said Scott Greenstein, President and Chief Content Officer, SiriusXM.
“We were confirmed believers years ago when we played them as an
unsigned act, and now we look forward to more great music to come for
Pandora listeners and SiriusXM subscribers.”
Known to serve genre-smashing collaborations, the global entertainers
released “Yummy (Country Remix)” with Justin Bieber just last week. More
fresh music will continue to hit this year. FGL is also returning to
the road for a stadium takeover beginning this April, as part of KENNY
CHESNEY’s CHILLAXIFICATION 2020 Tour. Click here for a full list of tour dates and ticket details.
