Breakout country star’s “Just About Over You” sells 500k copies
Mercury Nashville recording artist and ACM New Female Artist of the Year Nominee, Priscilla Block, hit another milestone in her thriving young career on Friday (Feb 18th) while joining SiriusXM’s Buzz Brainard for The Highway’s Music Row Happy Hour. In the studio to surprise Block, RIAA’s Jackie Jones popped into the live broadcast saying, “I am here to do one of my favorite things – to give an artist their very first certification. I’d like to congratulate you on your first Gold record!” and presented Block with a “Just About Over You” Gold Certification plaque for the hit single.
“I’m at a loss for words!” a stunned Block shares on social media. “This is because of y’all [family, friends, supporters, and fans] MY FIRST CERTIFIED GOLD SINGLE. Thank y’all for keeping music alive and continuing to buy and stream my music and letting me have a dang career doing what I love!”
Making it all the sweeter was getting to share the moment with her friends at SiriusXM, who pegged Block as one of its Highway Finds back before she had fully caught the attention of Music Row.
Since exploding onto the country music scene in 2020 and building a fanbase via TikTok with hit viral songs like “Thick Thighs,” “PMS” and “Just About Over You,” Block has landed on numerous Artist to Watch lists including Amazon Music, CMT, MusicRow, Spotify, Pandora and more. Her major label debut album, Welcome to the Block Party, is available now with her new single “My Bar” currently playing on country radio. Fans can find Block on the road headlining her first-ever Welcome to the Block Party Tour.
