WHAT IT IS: Chris Lane rocketed onto the country music scene with his irresistible, gold-certified #1 debut, “Fix.” The record-breaking smash surpassed an impressive 26m streams on Spotify and 6m views on Vevo. With that song, he became the first debut country artist to have a debut single on a debut label go #1 at Country radio. His debut album, Girl Problems, bowed in the Top 10 on the Country Albums Chart. Media has applauded his jaw-dropping falsetto and overall vocals, which give off a smooth R&B-meets-country vibe. Second single “For Her” is currently climbing the Country radio chart, and the music video, featuring a romantic, real-life wedding proposal, was released with an exclusive CMT world premiere.
