#1? "FANCY" THAT

11/8/21

Walker Hayes' country unicorn "Fancy Like" has hit #1 at Country radio, marking the first such milestone for label Monument and a killer radio story for a song that first entered the Top 40 of the format on 9/4. The song continues to be a streaming and TikTok giant.

Our standard joke would be that Walker, label co-heads Jason Owen and Shane McAnally, GM Katie McCartney and VP Promo Luke Jensen are all celebrating at Applebee's, but we rather imagine they've gone somewhere that serves, like, foie gras and caviar and stuff. In any case: Congrats all around.
