Bailey Zimmerman continues to dominate the country music scene. His Platinum-certified hit "Fall In Love" topped the country radio charts today as the fastest debut single to reach No. 1 at country radio since 2015. Co-written by Zimmerman alongside frequent collaborators Gavin Lucas and Austin Shawn, it marks the first debut hit to make it all the way to No. 1 on the Country Airplay chart this year.

The news of this record-making No. 1 comes as Zimmerman soars past the impressive career milestone of more than 1 billion career streams since he began releasing music less than two years ago. His next radio single, "Rock And A Hard Place," is impacting radio today and set for a national TV debut on Good Morning America December 27th, having also already received Platinum certification by the RIAA last month.

In addition, Zimmerman will be heading out on the road with global superstar Morgan Wallen for his 2023 One Night At A Time World Tour, kicking off overseas in New Zealand and Australia next March before returning stateside in April.

The 39-date trek will visit multiple legendary venues including stadium stops at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium, Chicago's Wrigley Field, LA's SoFi Stadium and Boston's Fenway Park before wrapping on October 7th at Tacoma Dome in Washington. Tickets go on sale beginning Friday, December 9th (see select dates below).

In October, Zimmerman shattered records with his first full-length release, Leave The Light On (LISTEN HERE), becoming not only the most-streamed all-genre debut of the year, but also the biggest streaming country debut of all time. He also joined Zach Bryan and Luke Combs as the only country artists this year to earn more than 1 million streams on each track during street week alone.

The EP arrived at No. 2 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart and No. 9 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart. A worldwide success, the EP also debuted at No. 2 on Billboard's Canadian Country Albums chart and No. 8 on their all-genre Canadian Albums Chart.

ABOUT BAILEY ZIMMERMAN

Before his whirlwind rise since releasing his very first song in 2021, the twenty-two-year-old was born and raised in the small town of Louisville, IL. At the age of sixteen, Zimmerman got his first job at the local meat processing plant and hasn't stopped working since.

From long hours on the gas pipeline, to late nights of backbreaking roadwork, he embodies the old school American values of hard work and dependability and applies the same steadfast mentality to his music.

He learned the art of storytelling while spending countless hours at the family's car dealership listening to Grandpa Zimmerman and his oldest friends tell the kind of stories you never forget, capturing people's attention with just their words.

A young artist with the rasp of a seasoned rocker and the heart of a sensitive songwriter, Zimmerman strikes a sweet spot between timeless American country, rafter-rattling arena rock, and the kind of authentic storytelling that tugs at the heartstrings with a sense of humor and a whole lot of soul.

Through his plainspoken charm, contagious enthusiasm and genuine portrayal of life on the back roads, the up-and-comer has already attracted a loyal and passionate fan base. With more new music on the horizon, featuring the grit and gravel of his unmistakably Southern drawl, Zimmerman will continue to showcase the straightforward authenticity for which he is known and loved.
