Tyler Farr’s co-penned “Whiskey in My Water” today reached #1 on the Mediabase Country chart, marking the singer/songwriter’s second #1 single off his REDNECK CRAZY debut album. The Gold-certified hit also gives Tyler back-to-back #1 singles, another first for the Missouri native, who has spent the past year racking up career milestones including CRS New Faces, the release of his album to #2 on the Country Albums Chart and #5 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart, and his first #1 platinum-certified hit “Redneck Crazy.”
“It is truly humbling and I am very grateful,” said the singer of his first chart-topping single as a writer. “I couldn’t ask for a better management team and my record label staff at Columbia Records. And to the fans…Y’all are awesome! Thank you for making this happen, and especially to country radio for all of your continued support from the beginning. Any day I can wake up and play country music for a living is a good day to me. Thank you!”
To date, the chart-topping single “Whiskey in My Water” has also surpassed over 3 million VEVO views and counting. Currently receiving rave reviews on Jason Aldean’s 50-stadium BURN IT DOWN tour, Brantley Gilbert also recently selected Tyler for the next leg of his LET IT RIDE TOUR. Tyler will be featured on the tour from October 30 through December 6. Additionally, Tyler ranked on Billboard’s First Ever Billboard Artist 100 Chart, landing at #93.
