Starting point is 00:00:03 It's the first time we've ever dove into the one and only Cody Johnson, because guess what? This man just released a track that not only notoriously affected the masses, but of course, when it comes to his previous track as far as on the charts to fall, not only is it the 70th most played track in the world, but of course, for future chart analytics for November 22nd, it is set to be, the 66 most played track in the world as far as future chart prediction now that could always change but of course the main reason we're here today is to talk about cody johnson having maybe one of the most popular tracks in his career and that is traveling soldier now when it comes to traveling soldier safe to say it was just released recently but as far as future chart predictions
Starting point is 00:01:04 slated for November 29th, it is set to be the 20th most played track in the world. So you're probably wondering to yourself, why in the world is everybody out here just very highly anticipating Cody Johnson's Travel and Soldier? Well, I'm glad you asked. When it comes to Veterans Day, on November 11th, 2025, Cody Johnson released a live performance video of traveling soldier from the stage to honor veterans day now of course it was first written and first released by bruce robinson in 1996 but then it was covered by tie england on his 1999 album highways and dance halls and then of course made famous by the chicks formerly known as dixie
Starting point is 00:01:55 chicks in 2002 so with this already popular hit it's very interesting how Cody Johnson's history with the song began early in COVID. As far as him first performing this track in his 2020 live stream during the COVID lockdown. Cody Johnson said it quote unquote went viral and then the fans requested it as shows with signs literally saying play traveling soldier. You guys. See that's the problem. Safe to say a five year wait is definitely. pretty egregious if I do say so myself, but it seems like that the sales are through the roof as the acoustic version was released March 22nd. So technically was out in a certain form,
Starting point is 00:02:44 and that was the acoustic version. And that did 50, 58 point, no, yeah, 58 million plus views in November of this year. And of course, not counting any other social media, that's a lot for just, specifically YouTube as when it comes to Cody Johnson's response to that he basically said the song allowed him to hear see and bring words to fan stories so it's very interesting how this whole release to Travel and Soldier was being built up by Cody Johnson since 2020 and now as far as future chart analytics is set to be the 20th most played track in the world as far as November 29th now of course it could be higher it could be lower but as far as the reports that track certain data to pinpoint the future chart prediction or the future chart
Starting point is 00:03:39 slots they're pretty on the nose so seems like this five-year buildup to travel and soldier was definitely worth the wait for his fan base and definitely for Cody Johnson as he's about to receive the fruits of his labor so along with that the main thing I was wanting to talk about was of course when it comes to Cody Johnson fans out there you will be pleased to that he would be going on tour from February to May, 2026 and major arenas including Birmingham, Champagne, Champagne, what Champagne poppy on the world?
Starting point is 00:04:14 Is it okay? I got my dope on me? Louisville, Pittsburgh, Houston Rodeo, and the stage coach. And then, of course, July 26, he's going to be at the Cavendish Beach Music Festival and Nationwide Arena and Columbus, Ohio. So for all the Cody Johnson fans out there, safe to say 2025 going into 2026 it's definitely going to be a year to celebrate as not only will this be one of his most popular tracks in his career and i'm calling that early because of course he has a lot of other popular tracks like till you can't the painter and of course currently the fall which is his most popular track objectively speaking well technically for uh traveling soldiers but the fall was his most popular track that led up into the anticipation of traveling soldier because if he didn't already have any
Starting point is 00:05:06 tracks on the charts as far as putting out traveling soldier the future chart predictions would have had it so high as far as people already engaging with certain posts that's promoting the track so usually it goes off of patterns of your fan base and how they overall engage with your content so Cody Johnson definitely has a humongous fan base in the way that he had a live version ready to pay tribute to the U.S. veterans only added to the overall title of the track, which is traveling soldiers. So I think this is one of the most demanded country tracks ever to be released. And it's going to be a significant impact on the masses, especially when you start to put
Starting point is 00:05:51 more of a marketing strategy around it as far as the music video and things of that nature, as far as maybe even a remix, but maybe definitely too early for that as it just came out. But the sky is the limit for traveling soldier by Cody Johnson. And I do believe this would probably end up being his most popular track of all time. So with that being said, click my link to my bio. Let me know on one of my social medias. What do you think about Cody Johnson's track Traveling Soldier? If you've never heard of Cody Johnson, will you be giving him a listen?
Starting point is 00:06:22 And also, what do you think is the most highly anticipated country track of all time? or what is your favorite country track of all time?
