Parker McCollum scores second consecutive No 1

“To Be Loved By You” hits the top of Billboard and Mediabase charts

Parker McCollum has taken over the top seat on both the Billboard and Mediabase Country charts with his second consecutive No. 1 single, “To Be Loved By You.” The track immediately resonated with fans and skyrocketed up the charts since its release. In addition to landing his second career chart topper, the ACM “New Male Artist of the Year” also made a childhood dream come true by performing to a sold out crowd at the famed RODEOHOUSTON this past weekend selling over 73,000 tickets.

“It’ll be years before I truly look back and realize what happened this week,” says McCollum. “I was nervous that all my hard work and sacrifice wouldn’t be worth it in the long run. Well, after selling out RODEOHOUSTON and having my second #1 I can assure you all – it was damn worth it. Every single last bit of it was worth it.”

Last week, McCollum released his version of the George Strait 90’s classic, “Carrying Your Love With Me.” Last week also saw him make his awards show debut as he was crowed New Male Artist of the Year at the ACM Awards in Las Vegas and performed “Pretty Heart,” which reached No. 1 in 2020. It was the only debut single to be released and hit No. 1 in 2020.

McCollum also sold out over 40 shows in 2021 and recently launched the first-ever NFT fan club earlier this year with MusicFX, and recently spoke to us about it on The Music Universe Podcast.
