MCA Recording artist Kip Moore’s current Top 10 single “Hey Pretty Girl” and chart-topping “Beer Money” have officially been certified GOLD by the RIAA, for sales over 500,000 downloads each. The GOLD tracks can both be found on Moore’s UP ALL NIGHT, the best selling debut album of any country artist released last year.
“’Pretty Girl’ and ‘Beer Money’ have been fan favorites on the road since we started playing them,” said Moore. “Having the fans also want to have the music after the show – to connect and respond to our music that way, too – just fuels our fire even more.”
Friday morning, fans can tune-in to catch Moore perform his hit songs on Fox & Friends’ All American Summer Concert Series beginning at 6:00A ET on FOX News (check local listings).
Moore’s current Top 10 hit “Hey Pretty Girl” follows two consecutive No. one hits off his debut album UP ALL NIGHT. His first career No. one single, “Somethin’ ‘Bout A Truck,” held the top spot on both charts for two weeks making him the first solo artist in four years to have a debut album’s first single go No. one for multiple weeks. He has already sold out dozens of headlining shows this year, sometimes in just minutes. Moore continues to headline his own dates and is also currently opening for superstar Toby Keith through the summer. For more information and for a full list of tour dates, visit www.kipmoore.net.

Kip Moore (inspiration behind Hey Pretty Girl) OC: …about it. :48
“You know, I actually wrote that the day after I had a conversation with my guitar player, Dave Lapsley. Me and Dave had been playing together for 10 years, ever since I moved to town, and I love Dave with all my heart. Dave was my guy, man, that’d I’d go hang out with and raise hell with. And when he told me his wife was pregnant, there was a complete change in Dave. He was being like, ‘Dude, we gotta make this thing happen now. We’re not making enough money, and I’ve got to support a family now.’ And I saw everything kind of change. Even though I don’t have a wife and kids, it kind of made me see it through his eyes. Even though I don’t want that right now, the next day I went into the [writing] room and I was just talking to Dan Couch about it, and I was like, ‘I hope to have that thing that I see in Dave’s eyes now one day, and I hope I want to go through life with somebody like that, and this is how I hope it is,’ and that’s what we tried to capture that day writing about it.”
