Industry Ink: Sam Hunt Goes Gold, Jason Isbell, SAE Nashville, Taryn Pray

September 18, 2014/by Jessica Nicholson

MCA Nashville recording artist Sam Hunt was surprised during his album listening party Tuesday evening in Nashville with a plaque to commemorate his first RIAA-certified Gold record as an artist. His single “Leave The Night On” has surpassed 500,000 units sold.
“[‘Leave The Night On’] is a song I’m excited about that represents what’s to come with the album in a lot of ways,” Hunt said. “It’s a good sign because people are reacting to ‘Leave The Night On’ and giving us such a great response that it really excites me about the music to come.”
The single is from Hunt’s forthcoming debut album Montevallo, which will release Oct. 27.
