Now, we're getting into this artist, you have to realize that his last name, I'm not going to lie to you. As far as the amount of matureness, that's even a word. My level of mature, right, is not at the level to where I do not snicker at his last name, right? So that being said, Russell Dickerson has put out a track, right? And it's been climbing on the charts to the point where the projections on billboard as far as for me. May 3rd, 2025. He's set to have the 70th most played track in the world as far as happened to me. Now, this particular track came out February 21st, 2025.

And of course, he also has a later, he also has another track that he's a part of that came out April 4th, 2025 with Colby Kellott titled, If You Love Me, Let Me Go. So that being said, let's dive in that happen to me because you're probably wondering who is this artist because I've never covered him before. This is my first time ever covering Russell Dickerson. Now, that being said, his style is definitely more of a country type of artist, but he is known for his country and pop infused anthems as far as also his live shows engaging the masses as far as accumulating more supporters in his fan base. He's known for his billboard number one hit, country airplay hit titled Yours, which is currently three times platinum. So R-I-A-certified three-time platinum, right?

And then you have Blue Ticoma, blue Tacoma, which I believe is a vehicle. And then you have every little thing and then his later track, Love You like I used to. If you didn't know, he signed to Triple Tigers. Now, I ain't gonna lie to you. That's the first time I ever heard of Triple Tigers.

There's nothing else as far as UMG, Sony, or Warner. So I must assume that Triple Tigers is an independent music label. But actually, let me see. Triple Tigers music. It has to be independent because I don't think it's tied to any huge conglomerate as far as major music labels. So let me see if I can find this right quick. So when it comes to Russell Dickerson, that's a crazy last name.

I ain't on my team. But so Triple Tigers. is a Nashville-based country music label formed in 2016 and joint venture between 30 Tigers Triple-Aid management and Sony Music Entertainment. So he signed to Sony.

Okay, so not exactly independent, but of course, that's why we do our research because when you just look at the bottom of the credits is this Triple Tigers. But of course, this probably means that he's under Sony. With that being said, I didn't want to emphasize

how when it comes to the rise to fame of this particular track, it peaked at number two as far as his, I think there's another track. Okay, when it comes to this particular track, this is his Triple Tigers, this is Triple Tiger's biggest debut as far as streams and global impact and things of that nature. And it's more of a track that's seen strong support from different streaming platforms as far as Spotify and Apple Music. But one of the main things that boosted his visibility, was when he went to the WrestleMania tour.

I'm wondering when he had his WrestleMania tour. And that went insane to the point where now a lot of people are gravitating to his music even more. And to add on to that, here comes the platform. Now, I always talk about TikTok. TikTok played a factor in a marketing rollout once again as the viral dance to Dickerson's biggest track ended up helping out the streams and uplifted the streams according to the estimates of one million streams per day so whatever he was doing as far as streaming the TikTok dances added to the streams plus a million a day right which is why I say as a musician you have to use TikTok as a marketing

tool is one of the most authentic marketing tools out there now for Russell Dickerson fans just know Russellmania is continuing it began in March 2025 with added fall dates in the Midwest and Canada. And then there's new dates, including Wallingford and September 18th and Philadelphia, PA, as far as September 19th. Now, of course, when it comes to happen to me and the projection for this particular track being the 70th most played track in the world as far as the Billboard estimates from May 3rd, 2025, I believe that this is a continuing movement of his fans.

And his true diehard fans are going to probably try to catch one of his tour dates as far as the Russell Mania tour. And when it comes to the artists in general, we actually don't know if he's going to put out an album anytime soon. But if you're new to Russell Dickerson, just know his last album was titled the After Party Deluxe that came out November 3rd, 2023. But when it comes to this particular track, click my link to show in my bio. Let me know one of my social medias. What do you think about Russell Dickerson as far as his latest track happened to me in overall will you be purchasing a ticket to go watch russell dickerson perform at his russellmania tour
