Florida Georgia Line


Florida Georgia Line’s “Cruise” is still on a remarkable ride with today’s news that it is the best selling digital Country single in Soundscan history. The song has been downloaded 6.6 million times according to Big Machine Label Group. This is a combined total of downloads of the original Country version as well as the remix featuring Nelly. “Cruise” was released more than 88 weeks ago.
Lady Antebellum’s megahit “Need You Now” was previously the best selling digital Country track, with about 6.3 million downloads.
FGL’s Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard wrote their debut single with producer Joey Moi, Chase Rice and Jesse Rice. The duo’s Platinum debut album Here’s To The Good Times on Republic Nashville has spawned four consecutive multi-week No. 1 hits: “Cruise,” “Get Your Shine On,” “Round Here” and “Stay.”
Including “Cruise,” Big Machine Label Group is home to four of the Top 5 best selling digital Country singles, totaling sales of 22 million downloads. Taylor Swift holds the third and fifth spots with “Love Story” and “You Belong With Me,” respectively. The Band Perry’s “If I Die Young” sits at No. 4.
