Carly Pearce goes gold with ‘Every Little Thing’

Only Solo Female with a Charting Country Debut Single Certified This Year for Over 500,000 in Consumption

As a newborn, only country music would calm her down and Carly Pearce has never veered from that destined path. Today she proves her staying power as โ€œEvery Little Thingโ€ is certified gold with over 500,000 in consumption sales. Pearce is the only solo female with a charting country debut single to achieve this milestone in 2017.

โ€œCountry music is all Iโ€™ve ever known,โ€ shares Pearce. โ€œIโ€™ve spent years working towards moments like this, and I canโ€™t begin to describe how โ€˜Every Little Thingโ€™ has truly changed my life from the initial heartache to now โ€˜thank you.โ€™ Iโ€™m so grateful to all of the fans and radio who have given me this gold-certified, Top 5 single! Youโ€™ve had more of an impact on me than youโ€™ll ever know.โ€

Peopleโ€™s โ€œnew voice of countryโ€ previously scored a three-week No. 1 on SiriusXMโ€™s The Highway with โ€œEvery Little Thingโ€ and another second chart-topper on the platform with โ€œIf My Name Was Whiskey.โ€ The No. 3-and-rising title track from โ€œthe best country debut of 2017โ€ (Uproxx), also solidifies Pearce as one of only four women to crack the Top 10 in the format this year.ย Every Little Thing (Big Machine Records) launched at No. 2 on the Billboard Country Albums chart while Pearce takes No. 1 on Billboardโ€™s all-genre Emerging Artists chart. Additionally, she was previously selected for iHeart On The Verge and as Cox Mediaโ€™s first Plugged In artist.

From touring with vocal a Bluegrass band at age 11, leaving high school at 16 to perform six shows a day at Dollywood and the last eight years struggling โ€“ and growing โ€“ in Nashville, the Kentucky native enjoys the landmarks but remains grounded. Pearece shared with the New York Post, โ€œI worked at a mall, I cleaned Airbnbs. I learned humility โ€” and that youโ€™re never guaranteed anything.โ€

Fans, critics and even her peers are taking notice of Pearceโ€™s raw talents and sincere drive. She has been tapped for Country Rising: Downtown Jam benefit concert at Nashvilleโ€™s Ascend Amphitheater on November 12th and Jack Danielโ€™s Music City Midnight: New Yearโ€™s Eve in Nashville alongside Keith Urban, Maren Morris, Cheap Trick, Jonny P and the Fisk Jubilee Singers at the Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park. Currently providing direct support on the Brett Youngโ€™s Caliville Tour, early 2018 will find her out with both Blake Sheltonโ€™s Country Music Freaks and Thomas Rhettโ€™s Life Changes tours.
