Dan & Shay’s “Tequila” Peaks #1 Multiple Weeks

By on August 17, 2018 in Music, Special Events, The Latest
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.

As Dan + Shay (Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney) teased on social media last week, fans are just days away from a taste of the duo’s brand new music. “Tequila,” their first offering in nearly a year, will be available to radio and all streaming partners this Wednesday, January 10. Co-written by Smyers alongside Jordan Reynolds and Nicolle Galyon, the reflective single is much more than just your typical drinking song.

The breakout duo are amping up the momentum from an exceptional 2017, which saw them amass more than 230 million streams, sell out shows in four international territories and earn a half-dozen award nominations – all between celebrating two marriages and a baby. The first new country duo in SoundScan recorded history to debut at No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Albums Chart, Dan + Shay collected their second RIAA Platinum certification in 2017 for “From The Ground Up,” the first single off of their sophomore Warner Bros. / Warner Music Nashville release Obsessed. Soon after they notched their third consecutive No. 1 song with the Gold-certified “How Not To.”

Dan + Shay are currently in the studio working on their upcoming project, due later this year.
