Jordan Davis celebrated his No. 1 smash “Singles You Up” with co-wrtiers Justin Ebach and Steven Dale Jones at a party in Nashville on Monday (July 30th). He was also honored with a platinum plaque for the song, which has sold more than one-million copies…AND that the tune is the most-played song on country radio this year.
“This being my first time releasing music ever, I didn’t know what to expect. I think it took a couple of months to kinda catch on and see that this song’s really resonating with people,” says the Louisiana native. “I was just hoping people would buy into who I am as an artist and the music I was putting out, and I felt like ‘Singles You Up’ was the best way and the best song that defined what I wanted to do.”
Attending the party were numerous friends and family, including brother and frequent collaborator Jacob Davis, his two nieces, parents and his Uncle Stan Paul Davis, who Jordan said paved the way for him in Nashville having written several songs for artists such as Tracy Lawrence.
Jordan is climbing the country charts with “Take It From Me,” which he’ll perform in Xenia, Ohio on Tuesday (July 31st).

“This being my first time releasing music ever, I didn’t know what to expect. I think it took a couple of months to kinda catch on and see that this song’s really resonating with people. The song being where it was at in the charts, whether it be in the 30s or the 20s, the amount of people showing up and knowing that song was kinda shocking. To where now, I think my band guys can even attest, we don’t even have to sing that song. Once we start into the first lick, I mean everybody jumps in. I was just hoping people would buy into who I am as an artist and the music I was putting out, and I felt like ‘Singles You Up’ was the best way and the best song that defined what I wanted to do.”
