Eric Paslay‘s chart-topping hit “Friday Night” has earned Gold status from the RIAA. Paslay was surprised Tuesday (May 13) after his performance at the Grand Ole Opry with a Gold plaque by UMG Nashville Chairman & CEO Mike Dungan.
This marks Paslay’s first chart-topping song as an artist and his fourth as a songwriter. Paslay penned “Friday Night” with Rose Falcon and Rob Crosby; it was the first single from his self-titled debut album, which was released in February. Paslay is currently out on the road with Brantley Gilbert‘s Let It Ride Tour.
