Starting point is 00:00:03 Now, of course, when diving into Riley Green, we have to notice the amount of green that this man is generating from his track titled Worst Way. As currently, it's been on the truss for about 15 weeks and it stands at the 36 most played track in the world. Now, of course, that's not the only thing as when it comes to this particular track, it is estimated to be the 37th most played track in the world as far as chart dated for a more, May 10th as far as the projections, right? But currently, it's just showcasing how the longevity of this track is seemingly not going anywhere as when he initially put this out as far as, let me see if I could find. Oh, yeah, when he initially put this out, March 29th, 2024, I'm pretty sure he did not imagine it having this type of longevity because every artist sometimes thinks that, oh, this is the hit,
Starting point is 00:01:02 this is not the hit. sometimes a track that you think is just absolute, well, not garbage, but you don't think it's going to go anywhere, but you think it's a nice song, right? Sometimes it just takes off randomly because of word of mouth. And I think that's what happened with Worst Way as if it comes out May 29th of 2024 and then we're looking at May in 2025 and realizing that it's still on the charts to this day, it's kind of crazy how the resurgence of Worst Way can have such a phenomenal impact on the masses. But as far as his latest offerings, he does. has a track out titled slow dancing and a burning room that was released February 5th
Starting point is 00:01:37 2025 and of course this man is under Nashville Harbor Records and entertainment under exclusive license to big machine label group now when it comes to Nashville we already know that Nashville has a lot of homegrown country artists that emerge and basically put out enough tracks and have enough discography to either their preparation meets opportunity or sometimes it doesn't before Riley green obviously he did meet that opportunity as when it comes to accolades he was the acm new male artist of the year back in 2020 and then he has four number one singles as far as his entire career and his three albums as far as different round here ain't my last rodeo and don't mind if i do which don't mind if i do back in 2020 well back of last back in last year
Starting point is 00:02:31 was the first Billboard country top 10 as far as peaking at number eight. So this man puts up phenomenal numbers. And then, of course, I do believe I've covered him in the past. As far as July 12, 2024, I covered Ella Langley and Riley Green as far as their track, You Look Like You Love Me. So I remember covering that track in its entirety. And, you know, when it comes to that, that was also a premier hip as it debuted at number nine on tic-tok and i always say tic-tok's one of the more organic ways to promote your music so if you
Starting point is 00:03:05 want to be taken seriously as a musician you definitely have to hop on tic-tok as far as a tool being able to put your offering musically to the masses and increase the exposure so it's definitely what happened when this track initially came out as far as you look like you love me and when it came to billboard it climbed all the way to number nine or no it climbed number one all the way to number five as far as the billboard charts being considered and um when it come no no that was tictock billboard my fault it went to it climbed all the way to number five when it came to the tic talk billboard uh but when it came to billboard specifically it went it peaked at number 53 so of course when it comes to country artists
Starting point is 00:03:55 banding together. Riley Green was also performing to at Morgan Wallen's record-breaking concert in London. So that definitely helps solidify the popularity of You Look Like You Love Me. And then here, Riley Green is back once more with the track title, The Worst Way. And this track is doing great on the charts. And of course, when it comes to the promotional efforts, especially almost a year out of the tracks release, you come to realize that this is one of the more impactful tracks. definitely in Riley Green's discography as of late because when it comes to platinum when it comes to going or climbing on the billboard charts and reaching platinum faster than his track there was a girl right that went to Tom Platinum now you come to realize that worst way is an is unequivocally
Starting point is 00:04:44 a huge hit for Riley Green so now when you look at that and it's a totality as far as him following it up with the album as far as when he put out way out here all the way back in April 12th, 2024, you come to see the marketing rollout come to fruition as far as him capitalizing off of a phenomenal single. So we don't know when the next album would come, what would come as far as his latest project is titled Don't Mind If I Do. That came out October 18th, 2024. And that was an hour and two minutes as far as in length.
Starting point is 00:05:17 So when we're talking about Riley Green and we're talking about him having a very, very successful track and worst way people are probably wanted to see this man live if you're already a fan of Riley Green so just know that his tour which is PG Pocket is we're just going to say country music tour um is happening at notable venues like red rocks summerfest and oh two forum Kentish town and he's uh going to be in london for a three-night run and of course he has supporting acts like Jamie Johnson Drake White and Hannah McFarlane So with that being said, I would definitely go to his page if you want to see the dates for his tour, but just know it starts in November 6th and then it's ending November 21st. So he's definitely going to a lot of different places.
