Atlantic recording artist Brett Eldredge celebrated his gold-certified, chart-topping single “Beat of the Music” by swimming with sharks off the coast of the Bahamas yesterday.

After making it back safely to dry land, Eldredge said, “People celebrate No. 1’s and gold singles in different ways. I just happen to be lucky enough to have some of my best friends in the world come out and celebrate with me in a BIG way. I want to thank everyone at country radio, my management and promotion teams and my family, friends and fans who have supported me all of these years. Life is good. Rock the Ocean. Love life….it’s all you’ve gotta do!”
