Having a #1 song on the charts is a phenomenon all on its own. Dan & Shay are not only experiencing having “Tequila” at the top of the charts for multiple weeks, they are also seeing crossover radio success.Written with fellow songwriters Nicole Gaylon and Jordan Reynolds (Reynolds’ first #1), and co-produced with Scott Hendricks, “Tequila” was released by Warner Bros. Nashville in January as the lead single from their newest project.
When Dan & Shay were asked when they experienced a defining moment in their career, they referenced to their live performance at the last ACM Awards.
“We played the song acoustic, just the two of us, we were a little nervous, but after Shay hit that incredible last note and his vocals soared, we got a standing ovation. Seeing that from our peers was that pivotal moment.”
John Esposito, CEO of Warner Music Nashville, joined the guys on stage at the presentation. “Having this song stay at #1 for multiple weeks is rare. We could not be more excited about these guys.” says Esposito.
With the machine of Warner Nashville behind them and a rapidly growing fan base, Dan & Shay are a country duo we will be seeing more of, not only in country music, but on pop formats, as well.
