BRANTLEY GILBERT IS SECOND MOST-ADDED AT COUNTRY RADIO WITH 95 ADDS IN ITS FIRST WEEK

Following the release of “GOOD DAMN,” Brantley Gilbert returns to Country radio with his first single since signing with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville/Wheelhouse Records. Garnering 95 adds in its first week, the track was the second most added of the week, just behind Luke Bryan. This makes it the second-biggest add week of Gilbert’s career behind “Bottoms Up” (106).The track also debuted exclusively with Country radio last week before its wide release on Friday, March 27.

“It means a lot to see Country radio showing this one love,” shares Gilbert. “It’s a personal song for me, so the fact that it’s connecting like this is special. Thank you to everyone who’s taken the time to listen, and I appreciate everybody spinning it.”

Written by Gilbert alongside Brock Berryhill, HARDY and Taylor Phillips, and produced by Gilbert and Berryhill, “GOOD DAMN” is inspired by the real-life twists in his love story with his wife of 11 years and captures the tension of running into the one who got away and realizing the spark never disappeared.

“This song hits close to home for me,” Gilbert shared upon the song’s release. “It’s about a second chance and being honest in the moment. You see someone you’ve got a past with and realize there’s still something there. Instead of overthinking it, you shoot your shot.”

Channeling the spirit of where it all began with the kind of storytelling that first set him apart, “GOOD DAMN” acts as the first taste of what’s to come as he preps his eighth studio album, coming later this year.

“We really wanted this one to cover all the bases and then some, and I feel like it does that,” Gilbert shared with Audacy’s Katie Neal about the forthcoming project. “There are songs on here that I’ve been excited about for a long time, some of these songs are older, but we also wanted to be reminiscent of some of my earlier albums. So there’s some nostalgia in there. There’s definitely some stuff that leans a little further back, stylistically and sonically.”

Gearing up for festival dates this spring and summer, the high-octane performer has fall dates on the horizon to be announced.
