The newly named ACM New Male Artist of the Year notches third No. 1 at Country radio; marks first No. 1 on Billboard Country Airplay

“Brunette” surpasses 300 million global streams as Wetmore’s catalog tops 2.4 billion global streams

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Country hitmaker Tucker Wetmore goes three-for-three as his latest single “Brunette” tops both the Mediabase Country and Billboard Country Airplay charts this week. His fastest-rising radio single to date, “Brunette” marks Wetmore’s third consecutive No. 1, following the success of “Wind Up Missin’ You” (Dec. 2024) and “3,2,1” (Jan. 2026), placing him in an elite group of country superstars whose first three singles have reached No. 1. 

The chart-topping feat comes on the heels of Wetmore winning New Male Artist of the Year at the 61st ACM Awards ,where he delivered an electric performance of “Brunette,” with Billboard praising Wetmore’s “charisma of an arena headliner.” Written by Chris LaCorte, Chase McGill, Josh Miller and Blake Pendergrass, “Brunette” has already amassed more than 300 million global streams.

The milestone continues a meteoric rise for the Back Blocks Music/MCA/Mercury Records artist, who has quickly established himself as one of country music’s most impactful new voices. Building on a breakout 2025, Wetmore’s debut album What Not To became the biggest country album from a new artist last year. The album debuted at No. 15 on Billboard’s all-genre 200 Albums chart and helped propel Wetmore to more than 2.4 billion global career streams. 

Wetmore will make his return to Nashville’s CMA Fest where he will take the stage at Nissan Stadium on Thursday, June 4. Following the completion of the sold-out first leg of The Brunette World Tour presented by NÜTRL Vodka Seltzer in London last month, Wetmore will launch the tour’s second leg later this summer and join Jordan Davis, HARDY and Brooks & Dunn on tour for select dates.

With multiple major award nominations, chart-topping hits and a growing international fanbase, Wetmore continues to prove he’s “on the doorstep of true stardom” (Billboard). As more new music rolls out throughout the year, fans can keep up with Wetmore on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and his website at tuckerwetmore.com.

ABOUT TUCKER WETMORE:
With a warm vocal cut from the woods of the Pacific Northwest and an easy instinct for modern grooves, Tucker Wetmore has emerged as one of country’s most dynamic new stars. An ACM Award-winning singer-songwriter and headline performer who has already surpassed 2.4 billion career streams, the chart-topper has taken just a few years to leave a lasting mark. Raised in Kalama, Washington, the piano-playing student of country, rock, reggae and more wrote his first song after a college football injury, reaching Nashville in 2020. Kicking off his career with back-to-back Platinum “Wine Into Whiskey” and 2x Platinum debut No. 1 “Wind Up Missin’ You,” Wetmore landed on Billboard’s all-genre Hot 100 in 2024 with both tracks, showcasing a serene, sawtoothed-country buzz. After two features on the Twisters soundtrack, his first Grand Ole Opry appearance and a sold-out headline tour debut, Wetmore released his debut album What Not To to wide acclaim in 2025, wrapping hard-won life lessons in laid-back singalongs and soul-scouring balladry, and the album made history as the biggest country album debut from a new artist in 2025. After notching his first two No. 1s at Country radio in 2025 with “Wind Up Missin’ You” and “3,2,1” in 2025, Wetmore went three-for-three as “Brunette” topped both the Billboard Country Airplay and Mediabase Country charts. Already a veteran of major tours alongside Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean, Jordan Davis and more, Wetmore spent last summer on the road with superstar Thomas Rhett before launching The Brunette World Tour in 2026 with dates across the U.S., U.K. and EU as he remains a standout “one to watch” by Billboard, MusicRow, VEVO, Spotify and the Opry.
