Last night, Florida Georgia Line performed their brand new single “Dirt” on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Incase you missed it, you can watch their performance HERE. Released to rave reviews, including USA Today’s “Song of the Week,” the intensely emotional track catapulted to #1 on both the iTunes all genre and Country charts in in less than 12 hours with sales of over 65,000 already in the US. The latest offering also ascended to the top on iTunes in Canada and Australia shortly after release.
“Dirt” is the lead single from the superstar duo’s sophomore album on Republic Nashville, produced by Joey Moi. The new project is slated for release this fall and is the follow-up to their 2X Platinum debut HERE’S TO THE GOOD TIMES, which has tallied over 15 million tracks sold worldwide.
Inspired by the song lyrics, FGL has launched the Dirt Campaign with fundraising platform Omaze to benefit Habitat for Humanity, a global nonprofit which creates affordable housing in partnership with low-income families. To learn more about the campaign, click HERE.
Previously taking home ACA, AMA, ACM, Billboard, CMA and CMT Music Awards, FGL scored a TEEN CHOICE Awards nomination for Choice Country Group. Fans ages 13-19 can vote once a day via teenchoiceawards.com, with results airing August 10 at 8P ET on FOX.
FGL has skyrocketed since releasing four consecutive, multi-week #1 smashes in the US and Canada with the PLATINUM-certified hits “Stay,” “Get Your Shine On,” “Round Here” and 7X PLATINUM “Cruise,” making them the only artist in history to join Brooks & Dunn in achieving this accolade. Breaking the record for longest #1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs Chart, “Cruise” has sold over 7 million downloads and is the best-selling digital Country single of all time (SoundScan).
FGL is currently on the road as direct support for Jason Aldean’s BURN IT DOWN Tour and this November will host “This is How We Cruise” aboard the Norwegian Pearl.
