This year will certainly be one that Cole Swindell will remember for a lifetime. In addition to releasing his debut album and being on high profile tours with buddy Luke Bryan, Swindell has hit No. 1 on the country singles chart for the very first time with his hit "Chillin' It" the same week the album hits #2 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart with the most sales for a new artist since Scotty McCreery's Clear As Day in 2011!
"Chillin' It" locks in the top position on the Mediabase/Country Aircheck country singles chart, while Jason Aldean's "When She Says Baby" keeps the top slot on the Billboard side covered for a second consecutive week.
"Chillin'’ It" is the lead single from Swindell's self-titled debut album, and it has already sold nearly 900,000 copies to date, making it a near platinum-selling hit for the Georgia boy. The single is the highest selling debut single released in 2013 from a solo country male, and was the first 2014 single in all genres to receive Gold certification from the R.I.A.A.
Rounding out the Top 10 this week are tunes from Lady Antebellum ("Compass"), Blake Shelton ("Doin' What She Likes"), Thompson Square ("Everything I Shouldn't Be Thinking About"), Frankie Ballard ("Helluva Life"), Dierks Bentley ("I Hold On"), Scotty McCreery ("See You Tonight") and Randy Houser ("Goodnight Kiss").
