Mitchell Tenpenny was surprised with an RIAA Double Platinum plaque for “Drunk Me” last night (Oct. 10) at Nashville’s Marathon Music Works. The Riser House/Columbia Nashville recording artist received the plaque from record label execs and his management and booking team before the show, which is the kickoff of his headlining Anything She Says Tour.

Tenpenny has fueled an undeniable breakout story with his No. 1 hit, “Drunk Me,” from his debut album Telling All My Secrets. The 11-song project, released Dec. 14, earned him 2018’s best first-week showing for a major label country debut album. “Drunk Me,” which Tenpenny co-wrote and co-produced, has amassed over 300 million streams since its release.
