Matt Stell was surprised yesterday (April 1) on a Zoom video call with his team to celebrate his Platinum plaque for his multi-week No. 1 “Prayed For You.”
Ash Bowers (Wide Open Music), Barry Weiss (RECORDS), Randy Goodman (Sony Music Nashville), Mitch Glazier (RIAA), and Jackie Jones (RIAA) surprised Stell with the virtual Platinum song plaque, the first of its kind, celebrating the song, which was the only Billboard chart-topper by a debut artist in 2019. The million-selling hit, written by Stell with Ash Bowers and Allison Veltz Cruz, joins an elite group as one of only 30 RIAA Platinum-certified country songs in the last two years.
Stell’s new single, “Everywhere But On,” which was co-written by Stell along with Paul Sikes and Lance Miller, is currently climbing the country charts. The track is featured on Stell’s Everywhere But On EP, which also includes a collaboration with Jimmie Allen, “Home In A Hometown,” and Stell’s cover of the Ariana Grande hit “God Is a Woman.”
