Eric Church had a slew of records certified by the RIAA in recent weeks. His song “Springsteen” was just certified 5x (and 4x) platinum, while “Like a Wrecking Ball” and “Record Year” are now 2x platinum. The North Carolina native’s “Sinners Like Me” and “Over When It’s Over” have gone gold.

“Springsteen,” which is featured on Eric’s album Chief, is not just a song, it’s an experience for all of those who hear it. “The interesting thing about this song is it has probably less to do with [Bruce] Springsteen than it is about what’s happening at this amphitheater up on the lawn,” says Eric. “I had this experience. If you’ve had this experience, no matter whether you stay together or don’t stay together, when you hear that person’s music whether it’s Springsteen or anybody else, you always think of the person you were with at that show. And I have that. I just thought it was an interesting story about two people falling in love at a concert, and for the rest of their life that’s the soundtrack. That artist is the soundtrack to their love, to that time. I just love that. It makes me feel 17 again every time I hear it, and I think that other people feel the same way.”

Eric, who is currently sitting inside the Top 10 with his latest smash, “Some of It,” resumes his Double Down Tour with a two-night stand at The Gorge in George, Washington on June 28th and 29th.
