NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Warner Music Nashville surprised star recording artist Cole Swindell recently with three plaques commemorating his record-setting year.
Swindell’s multiweek No. 1 single “Never Say Never” (with Lainey Wilson) has officially earned RIAA platinum certification. Celebrating its fourth week atop the Billboard country airplay chart, Swindell’s “She Had Me At Heads Carolina” has been certified gold — and has already surpassed 1 million track equivalents.
“Heads Carolina” made Swindell the only artist in 2022 to spend four consecutive weeks at No. 1 on country radio, also amassing the largest airplay audience of any country single this year. The third plaque celebrates Swindell’s incredible 12 chart-topping hits.
The decorated singer/songwriter and entertainer from Bronwood in Terrell County is nominated for Musical Event of the Year and Music Video of the Year at the 56th annual CMA Awards for “Never Say Never.” He is currently on the road on his headlining “Back Down To The Bar Tour” with Ashley Cooke and Dylan Marlowe.
