Florida Georgia Line's popularity has skyrocketed since releasing back-to-back, multi-week No. 1
SMASH hits in the U.S. and Canada: the platinum-certified "Get Your Shine On" and the multi-platinum "Cruise." The two songs, combined with the Top 10-and-climbing (Top 40 Charts) "Cruise" remix, featuring Nelly, have sold nearly six million downloads. "Cruise" has dominated Billboard's Hot Country Songs Chart for 21 straight weeks, the longest stretch for any song ever. The record-breaking duo also is the first in 21 years to top the Country airplay charts with their first two singles, according to Billboard. Featured on their gold-certified, chart-topping Republic
Nashville debut, "Here's To The Good Times," FGL's current single, "Round Here," is Top 15-and-rising at Country radio.
The hot newcomers have taken home ACM and
CMT Music Awards and scored opening slots for Taylor Swift's "The Red Tour" and Luke Bryan's "Dirt Road Diaries Tour." They are nominated for four TEEN CHOICE 2013 awards for Choice Country Group; Choice Country Song ("Cruise"); Choice Summer Song ("Cruise" Remix f. Nelly); and Choice Summer Music Star: Group. VEVO has selected FGL for the coveted LIFT program, offering exclusive content across the world's leading all-premium music video and entertainment platform. This fall, the breakout duo - Tyler Hubbard (Monroe, GA) and Brian Kelley (Ormond Beach, FL) - will celebrate with their fans nationwide on their first headline run, "Here's To The Good Times Tour 2013."
