Capitol Nashville’s Jon Pardi has plenty of reasons to celebrate. The two-time ACM Album of the Year nominee received a plaque this week for earning 10m digital single certifications and 1m album units with 3x platinum #1 track “Dirt on My Boots,” 2x platinum #1 hits “Head Over Boots” and “Heartache On The Dance Floor,” platinum single “Night Shift” and gold-certified “She Ain’t In It” as well as “Heartache Medication” from his ACM nominated and gold-certified album, which shares the same name and debuted among the top of the Country Albums chart.
Pardi’s recent collaboration with BMLG’s Thomas Rhett on “Beer Can’t Fix” is currently Top 15-and-climbing at country radio. His latest single “Ain’t Always the Cowboy” will impact the format on 3/16.
