Justin Moore surprised with Pandora Billionaire plaque

Nine-time chart-topper surpasses three billion streams on platform

Known for his chart-topping catalog and humorous nature, this time, the surprise was on Justin Moore as SiriusXM hosts Buzz Brainard and Ania Hammer, along with Moore’s wife Kate presented him with a Pandora Billionaire Plaque. The honor commemorates three billion streams on the platform for the Arkansas native, who recently joined the Music Row Happy Hour on The Highway (ch. 56) with content also airing across Pandora & SiriusXM’s social platforms.

”Wow, that’s awesome! This is really an incredible and exciting surprise,” shares Moore. “Doing the podcast, we take listener questions and I’ve done a lot of Zooms with the new album so people are often asking me what I’m most proud of. Well, it’s really moments like this — 14 years after signing my record deal that we’re still here getting to play music and be supported by the fans and industry.”

The hot streak continues with “We Didn’t Have Much” appearing on the Top Spins chart for 17 straight weeks and “She Ain’t Mine No More” debuting as the No. 3 country song on Pandora’s Top Thumb Hundred Chart. The full eight track collection, Straight Outta The Country, is out now via The Valory Music Co. He has built a loyal following over the past decade with his traditional country sound, vivid storytelling and signature twang tallying nine No. 1 singles and three consecutive No. 1 album debuts.

As he prepares to return to the road, the Justin Moore Podcast sponsored by Bobcat delivers weekly episodes of off-the-cuff conversations between the multi-platinum artist and tour manager JR. Guests have included Oscar award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey; country stars Tracy Lawrence, Jon Pardi, Brantley Gilbert; wrestling champion Diamond Dallas Page and ESPN’s Marty Smith.
