Band achieves two billion streams

Eli Young Band were surprised with a Pandora Billionaire Plaque following their Grand Ole Opry performance last night (Tues, Feb 22nd). The moment commemorates over two billion streams on the platform, and the band has been added to Pandora’s Country Billionaires Radio in celebration of the honor.

“Sometimes these moments sneak up on you and refill the gas tank,” reflected lead singer Mike Eli in response to the surprise presentation. “We love to play music and when something like this comes along and reminds you that people are listening, it just feels so good. The first and last time someone will call us billionaires!”

Last week, the musical band of brothers delivered new single “Love Talking” to country radio, earning media praise. The song is the lead single from the band’s forthcoming sixth studio album, planned for release later this year via The Valory Music Co.

Fans will have a chance to see the new single performed live, along with the band’s multi-decade catalog of chart-topping hits, as they return to the road for their 51-city Love Talking Tour.
