KEITH URBAN RECALLS FIRST TIME HE HEARD HIS SONG ON THE RADIO. (AUDIO)

Keith Urban has been in the studio working on the follow-up to his 2010 Get Closer album, and undoubtedly, he’s writing and recording many songs that will be huge hits! The singer still gets a thrill when he hears his songs on the radio, and even recalls his first time. “I was in a place called Tamworth…and I was in the hotel getting ready to go and play a show, and I heard my single, my new single, on the little clock radio in the room, and just, gol’ man…what an amazing feeling!” In 1991, Keith released a self-titled debut album in Australia and charted four singles before moving to the United States the following year.

His latest hit, “For You,” is certainly being played quite often on radio stations across the country. The single, from the Act of Valor soundtrack, is currently heading up the charts to Top 5.
