NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Thursday, July 31, 2014) – Country artist Sam Hunt is responding to the overwhelming fan demand for new music by releasing X2C to all digital partners on August 12.  X2C, a four-track preview to his major label album debut due out October 27 on MCA Records Nashville, includes Hunt’s current Top 25 and climbing single, “Leave The Night On.” 

“I’m can’t wait to share a few early tracks from the album,” explains Hunt. “We’ve been having so much fun with the music out on the road and I’m excited to get this music out to our fans.”

Since the June release of “Leave The Night On” to country radio and digital partners, the single has sold over 197,000 tracks and has consistently been Spotify’s No. 1-streamed country artist in the U.S. and a Top 30-streamed artist across all genres.
