The country star has cemented two billion streams on the platform
Jake Owen kicked off SiriusXM’s CMA Fest party during The Highway’s Music Row Happy Hour at Margaritaville on June 6th with some celebratory hardware from Pandora commemorating two billion streams on the platform.
Owen was surprised with his Pandora Billionaires Plaque by SiriusXM and Pandora’s Johnny Chiang, VP of Music Programming, Country, Alina Thompson, Associate Director, Strategy & Operations/Artist & Industry Relations, Victoria Alfonso, Coordinator, Artist & Industry Relations, and The Highway hosts Ania Hammar and Ashley Till.
“It’s truly an incredible feeling to reach two billion streams on Pandora,” says Owen. “Knowing that our music is resonating with so many people is deeply gratifying. As artists, we simply hope to connect with listeners, and seeing this kind of support is humbling and heartwarming.”
Owen’s career spans an assortment of gold and platinum albums, billions of streams across multiple platforms, and ten No. 1 songs, including “Barefoot Blue Jean Night,” “Made For You,” and “I Was Jack (You Were Diane).”
“We are thrilled to congratulate Jake on this remarkable achievement,” notes Chiang. “Reaching over two billion spins on Pandora is a testament to Jake’s incredible talent and the deep connection he has with his fans. Everyone at SiriusXM Pandora looks forward to celebrating many more successes with him.”
With CMA Fest in the rearview, Owen is preparing to spend the coming months on tour with Dan + Shay on the duo’s Heartbreak On The Map Summer Tour. The tour launches July 18 in Cincinnati, Ohio, and will weave through the United States until the end of September.
